Budavari (Ed.) in The Merck Index, 11th ed., Merck, USA, 1989. Keiter in Inorganic Chemistry : Principles of Structure and Reactivity, 4th edition, HarperCollins, New York, USA, 1993. The lightest chemical elements are hydrogen and helium, both created by Big Bang nucleosynthesis during the first 20 minutes of the universe 1 in a ratio of around 3:1 by mass (or 12:1 by number of atoms), 2 3 along with tiny traces of the next two elements, lithium and beryllium. However in some areas, fluoride is not added to water, despite the benefits, as a consequence of civil rights activists who object to the addition of anything to water. Fluoride ion is a very useful component of drinking water (in very low concentrations) since it renders tooth enamel (replacing the OH group of hydroxyapatite) relatively immune to bacteriological attack. Organic fluorides are generally much less toxic and are often quite harmless. Exposure to low concentrations causes eye and lung irritation.
#Number 9 on periodic table free#
The free element has a characteristic pungent odour, detectable in concentrations as low as 20 ppb, which is below the safe working level. Hazards and risks associated with fluorine:įluorine gas is extremely corrosive and toxic.

It has the atomic number 9 in the periodic table and belongs in Group 17, the Halogens. Calculate how much fluorine is in your body Enter your weight here: You must enter a number, not text! Elements for which there are no data will always give a value of zero for the weight, no matter what you put in the weight box.

Enter your weight in either kilograms or pounds and click the "Calculate" button. You can use this form to calculate how much fluorine your body contains. How much fluorine is in your body? Find out here.
