Fluorine is the chemical element with atomic number 9, represented by the symbol F. Fluorine forms a single bond with itself in elemental form, resulting in the diatomic F2 molecule. F2 is a supremely reactive, poisonous, pale, yellowish brown gas. Elemental fluorine is the most chemically reac...

Origin of Name From the Latin and French words for “flow,” fluere. Occurrence Fluorine is the 13th most abundant element on the Earth. It makes up about 0.06% of theEarth’s crust. Fluorine is widely distributed in many types of rocks and minerals, but neverfound in its pure form. Fl...
Fluorine, a key element for the 21st century 1.1.1 The carbon-fluorine bond Fluorine atom possesses several remarkable behaviors which differ from those of all other substituents encountered in organic molecules. As a result, the physical and chemical properties of organofluorines can be distinctive...
The cover picture shows , with a wordplay of the famous phrase “To be or not to be ?” from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet , the ambivalent nature of fluorine – the most electronegative element and known to form some of the strongest hydrogen bonds, as in [F–H···F] – . ...
elements of the display device. An area defined by the walls of a picture element, also known as a pixel, is called the display area, over which a display effect occurs. The area of the support plate in the display area may be hydrophobic for a proper operation of the picture element....
