Fluorine
(Atomic Number: 9).
Fluorine appears as a pale yellow gas, which is so
corrosive; it can even destroy borosilicateglass (The stuff chemistry flasks are made of).
Fluorine, being the most reactive and electronegative
element in existence, is both highly corrosive and toxic. Once it does react,
it bonds so strongly that the resulting molecule is very inert and non-reactive
to anything else. Teflon
for example, is fluorine bonded with carbon.
Fluorine is a halogen: One of five non-metal elements, which
contain a single highly reactive electron (-1 charge) (Monovalent ion).
