What is F? The important knowledge about F.

  1. Definition of F
    F, or Fluorine, is a chemical element in the periodic table with the symbol F and atomic number 9. It is a pale yellow nonmetal, a colorless gas, highly toxic and has the strongest oxidizing property among the chemical elements. It usually exists in the form of F2 molecules.
    1.1.1 Common name: Fluor
    1.1.2 English name: Fluorine
    1.2. Atomic mass: 19
    1.3. Atomic weight: 18.9984
    1.3.1 Molecular structure: F-F
    1.4 Ion structure: The F- ion has 10 electrons

  2. Properties: F
    2.1 Physical properties of F
    State: gas
    Color: colorless
    Smell: unpleasant, toxic
    pH: not applicable to gas
    2.2 Chemical properties of F
    Fluorine is the strongest oxidizer, it can react with almost all other elements on the periodic table.

  3. Common chemical equations of F
    3.1 Metal Reaction
    2Al + 3F2 -> 2AlF3
    3.2 Acid Reaction
    No acid reaction with Fluorine
    3.3 Non-metal Reaction
    H2 + F2 -> 2HF
    3.4 Reaction with Salt
    2NaCl + F2 -> 2NaF + Cl2

  4. Synthesis of F
    4.1 Laboratory preparation of F
    F2 can be synthesized from HF and KMnO4: 2KMnO4 + 16HF -> 2KF + 2MnF2 + 8H2O + 5F2
    4.2 Industrial preparation of F
    Fluorine is usually synthesized by electrolyzing a solution of KHF2 in HF.
