Fluorine Element (Periodic Table)

by
Fluorine

Fluorine (F) is a chemical element of the periodic table, located in the group 17 and the period 2, and is having the atomic number 9. It is a pale yellow or green gas, whose name comes from the Latin word “fluere”, which means to flow. It is a reactive nonmetal and is the 13th most abundant element on earth. It is the most electronegative element. It is the first element in the halogen group and is the lightest halogen.
