Fluorine (Image credit: general-fmv, Andrei Marincas Shutterstock) History. Early chemists tried for years to isolate the element from various fluorides. It wasn't until 1986 that German chemist ...

For the first time, astronomers have detected fluorine, which can be found in our bones and teeth as fluoride, in a galaxy that is more than 12 billion light-years away.

Chemist Andrea Sella tells the story of how the feared element ended up giving us better teeth, mood and health. Many chemists have lost their lives trying to isolate the periodic table’s most ...

Many chemists have lost their lives trying to isolate the periodic table's most chemically reactive element - hence the nickname "the tiger of chemistry". Fluorine can react with almost all elements.

Herbert Roesky relates how the small, highly electronegative fluorine atom unveiled the chemical reactivity of noble gases and found many practical applications. but it can also render organic ...
