Fluorine's atomic number is 9 and its symbol is F. It is the lightest halogen and exists at standard conditions as a highly toxic, pale yellow diatomic gas. As the most electronega tive element, it is extremely reactive, as it reacts with all other elements, except for argon, neon, and helium. It is one of the few elements that are capable of reacting with diamond. Because it is so reactive, fluorine is difficult to store. Hydrofluoric acid (HF), for example, is so corrosive it will dissolve glass. Even so, HF is safer and easier to transport and handle than pure fluorine.
