1. fluor

   Fluor is a term usually used in chemistry, referring to the chemical element with the symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic gas at standard conditions. As the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive and highly corrosive. Fluor is almost never found in its elemental form in nature, but occurs mainly in minerals such as fluorite, topaz, and other trace amounts in the earth's crust.
