Fluorine is the lightest halogen and the most electronegative chemical element. In elemental form it occurs as diatomic fluorine, F₂, a highly reactive oxidizing gas. Natural fluorine is almost entirely the stable isotope ¹⁹F and is found in minerals rather than as the free element. Its chemistry underlies fluoride minerals, uranium enrichment chemistry, fluoropolymers, refrigerants, many agrochemicals, and a large share of modern medicinal chemistry.
Fluorine is the most electronegative and reactive of all elements. It is a pale yellow, corrosive gas, which reacts with most organic and inorganic substances. Finely divided metals, glass, ceramics, carbon, and even water burn in fluorine with a bright flame.
Until World War II, there was no commercial production of elemental fluorine. The nuclear bomb project and nuclear energy applications, however, made it necessary to produce large quantities.
The name derives from the Latin fluere for "flow" or "flux" because fluorite (CaF2) was used as a flux in metallurgy owing to its low melting point. It was discovered in hydrofluoric acid by the Swedish pharmacist and chemist Carl-Wilhelm Scheele in 1771, but it was not isolated until 1886 by the French pharmacist and chemist Henri Moissan.
Fluorine is the most reactive of all elements and no chemical substance is capable of freeing fluorine from any of its compounds. For this reason, fluorine does not occur free in nature and was extremely difficult for scientists to isolate. The first recorded use of a fluorine compound dates to around 1670 to a set of instructions for etching glass that called for Bohemian emerald (CaF2). Chemists attempted to identify the material that was capable of etching glass and George Gore was able to produce a small amount of fluorine through an electrolytic process in 1869. Unknown to Gore, fluorine gas explosively combines with hydrogen gas. That is exactly what happened in Gore's experiment when the fluorine gas that formed on one electrode combined with the hydrogen gas that formed on the other electrode. Ferdinand Frederic Henri Moissan, a French chemist, was the first to successfully isolate fluorine in 1886. He did this through the electrolysis of potassium fluoride (KF) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). He also completely isolated the fluorine gas from the hydrogen gas and he built his electrolysis device completely from platinum. His work was so impressive that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1906. Today, fluorine is still produced through the electrolysis of potassium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid as well as through the electrolysis of molten potassium acid fluoride (KHF2).
From the Latin and French fluere: flow or flux. In 1529, Georigius Agricola described the use of fluorspar as a flux, and as early as 1670 Schwandhard found that glass was etched when exposed to fluorspar treated with acid. Scheele and many later investigators, including Davy, Gay-Lussac, Lavoisier, and Thenard, experimented with hydrofluoric acid, some experiments ending tragically.
The element was finally isolated in 1866 by Moissan after nearly 74 years of continuous effort.
Pure fluorine, F₂, is a pale yellow gas at ordinary temperature and pressure. It condenses to a yellow liquid and freezes to a pale solid at low temperature. The gas has a sharp, irritating odor, but odor is not a safe means of detection.
Elemental fluorine, F₂, is used mainly where its extreme oxidizing and fluorinating power is required, including preparation of uranium hexafluoride, UF₆, for isotope separation and manufacture of some specialty inorganic fluorides. Much larger practical importance lies in fluorine-containing compounds. Fluoropolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene, (C₂F₄)ₙ, are used for chemically resistant coatings, seals, membranes, and electrical insulation. Fluoride compounds are used in glass etching, aluminum production, dental products, pharmaceuticals, and crop-protection chemicals.
Fluorine is added to city water supplies in the proportion of about one part per million to help prevent tooth decay. Sodium fluoride (NaF), stannous(II) fluoride (SnF2) and sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) are all fluorine compounds added to toothpaste, also to help prevent tooth decay. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is used to etch glass, including most of the glass used in light bulbs. Uranium hexafluoride (UF6) is used to separate isotopes of uranium. Crystals of calcium fluoride (CaF2), also known as fluorite and fluorspar, are used to make lenses to focus infrared light. Fluorine joins with carbon to form a class of compounds known as fluorocarbons. Some of these compounds, such as dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2), were widely used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems and in aerosol spray cans, but have been phased out due to the damage they were causing to the earth's ozone layer.
Fluorine and its compounds are used in producing uranium (from the hexafluoride) and more than 100 commercial fluorochemicals, including many high-temperature plastics. Hydrofluoric acid etches glass of light bulbs. Fluorochlorohydrocarbons are extensively used in air conditioning and refrigeration.
The presence of fluorine as a soluble fluoride in drinking water to the extent of 2 ppm may cause mottled enamel in teeth when used by children acquiring permanent teeth; in smaller amounts, however, fluoride helps prevent dental cavities.
Elemental fluorine has been studied as a rocket propellant as it has an exceptionally high specific impulse value.
Isotopes in Medicine
18F is a radioactive fluorine isotope that is used in an 18F-FDG compound (18F-labeled, fluoro-deoxy glucose) for imaging the organs, bones, tissues, and brain of the body with a technique called positron emission topography (PET). The 18F-FDG compound is injected and the isotopically labeled glucose is consumed by any cell requiring glucose as a source of energy [98] R. Krebs. The History And Use Of Our Earth’s Chemical Elements: A Reference Guide, 2nd ed. Greenwood Press, Westport, CT (2006)., [99] World Nuclear Association. Radioisotopes in Medicine, World Nuclear Association (2014), Feb. 23; http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf55.html..
– 18F emits positrons that collect in tissue and interact with regular negative electrons when injected into the body. The positrons and electrons annihilate each other, producing two gamma rays that are emitted in opposite directions. The radiation is detected on a PET camera, which generates a picture of the body part being examined (Fig. IUPAC.9.1).
–Because 18F has a short half-life of about 110 min, there is little chance of radiation damage to the patient.
Fluorine most commonly has oxidation state −1 in compounds, as in hydrogen fluoride, HF, sodium fluoride, NaF, and calcium fluoride, CaF₂. With highly electropositive elements it forms ionic fluorides; with nonmetals it forms strongly covalent fluorides such as sulfur hexafluoride, SF₆, and silicon tetrafluoride, SiF₄. Fluorine can also form interhalogen compounds, including chlorine trifluoride, ClF₃. Oxygen fluorides such as oxygen difluoride, OF₂, are unusual because fluorine is assigned the negative oxidation state while oxygen is positive.
One hypothesis says that fluorine can be substituted for hydrogen wherever it occurs in organic compounds, which could lead to an astronomical number of new fluorine compounds. Compounds of fluorine with rare gases have now been confirmed in fluorides of xenon, radon, and krypton.
See more information at the Fluorine compound page.
Elemental fluorine, F₂, is acutely toxic, corrosive, and a powerful oxidizer that can ignite or violently react with many materials. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is especially hazardous because it penetrates tissue and binds calcium and magnesium ions. Soluble fluorides can be toxic at sufficient dose, while controlled low concentrations of fluoride ion, F⁻, have dental uses. Some fluorinated gases are chemically stable but may be asphyxiants or potent greenhouse gases.
Elemental fluorine and the fluoride ion are highly toxic. The free element has a characteristic pungent odor, detectable in concentrations as low as 20 ppb, which is below the safe working level. The recommended maximum allowable concentration for a daily 8-hour time-weighted exposure is 1 ppm.
Fluorine enters the environment chiefly as fluoride in minerals, volcanic emissions, sea spray, industrial releases, and weathering products. Fluoride ion, F⁻, binds to calcium, aluminum, and iron phases and can be immobilized in soils or sediments, though mobility depends strongly on pH and water chemistry. Elevated natural or industrial fluoride in groundwater can affect teeth, bones, livestock, and vegetation. Persistent organofluorine compounds vary widely in mobility and degradation behavior.
Fluorine supply is based primarily on mining fluorite, CaF₂, with smaller contributions from fluorapatite-bearing phosphate rock processed in fertilizer production. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is the central industrial intermediate, made by treating fluorite with sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Direct production and transport of elemental fluorine are limited by its reactivity, so it is commonly generated or consumed close to the point of use. Demand is tied to aluminum smelting, chemical manufacturing, electronics materials, fluoropolymers, and regulated refrigerant transitions. Recycling is important for some fluorinated materials but is often chemically or economically difficult.
Found in the minerals fluorite (CaF2) and cryolite(Na3AlF6). Electrolysis of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or potassium acid fluoride (KHF2) is the only practical method of commercial production.
Fluorine is relatively rare in the cosmos compared with neighboring light elements. It is thought to be made in several settings, including helium-burning regions of evolved stars, neutrino-driven processes in core-collapse supernovae, and possibly novae, with their relative contributions still studied. In planetary materials it is concentrated into minerals, melts, and volatile-bearing phases rather than remaining as free F₂.
- Fluorine has only one stable natural isotope, ¹⁹F.
- Fluorite, CaF₂, gave the element its name through its use as a flux.
- Glass etching by hydrogen fluoride, HF, reflects the strength of silicon-fluorine bonding.
- Polytetrafluoroethylene, (C₂F₄)ₙ, was discovered accidentally during refrigerant research.
- Uranium hexafluoride, UF₆, is volatile enough for gas-phase isotope enrichment.
- Fluoride minerals can preserve fluorine in rocks over geologic time.
