Fluorine (Latin: fluere, meaning "to flow") is one of the chemical elements. Fluorine has [[atomic number]] 9, and symbol F. Fluorine is poisonous gas,(toxic), and highly [[corrosive]]. It has a yellow-green tint to it. This element has high [[electronegativity]] and extremely reactive with other chemicals. It reacts with all [[organic]] and [[inorganic]] substances. When it reacts with water, it is very dangerous. Fluorine is very useful, so it is used for many things in our daily lives. For example, the toothpaste that we use everyday contains fluorine. | Fluorine (Latin: fluere, meaning "to flow") is one of the chemical elements. Fluorine has [[atomic number]] 9, and symbol F.
