The lightest halogene,
is the gaseous fluorine.
Bound in ores and mineral,
as salt former it is overall,

„To flow“ in old latin means fluo,
the name was a short one to go,
since it fluorine or melts at lower temperature,
making an easier manufacturing sure

The French chemist Henri Moissan,
he had a long lasting plan,
with low-temperature electrolysis,
he destroyed the minerals physis,

A technology still relevant,
as pure fluorine demands grew significant.
To mention it is toxic and hazardous,
for living beings very dangerous.

The gas is used for uranium concentration,
through tetrafluoride distillation
separate isotope purification,
through gas centrifugation

Other fluorides are used in technology,
mainly in electronic industry,
With tungsten, nickel or Sulphur,
with the demands of highly pure.

Alumnium manufacturing with cryolite,
a sodium hexaflouraluminate concentrate,
In plastics in plays a broad role,
as halogenated linker addon,

stabilizer and additives,
to tailor plastic material properties.
Besides the usecase of addition,
there are some organic fluorides with a mission,

With TEFLON in your pan,
tetrafluoretyl as space heat shield began,
gaseous carbon fluorides caused the ozone hole,
getting rid of them soon became a goal,

Fluorine is strengthen our teeth,
against caries with ease,
built in as fluorapatite,
strong and nicely white.

the majority of fluorine is used for steel,
lowering melting point is a deal,
to decrease energy requirement,
is increasingly significant.

Fluorine is a constructor,
in minerals and ore,
it allows metal to fly,
cool and not to deny,

Build strong relations,
of meaningful creations,
toxicity through isolation created,
a learning from fluorine stated.
