Here's all the camera angles and slow motion footage of the fluorine reactions we filmed with Professor Eric Hope. It reacts with iron, carbon, iodine and sulfur. Main video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtWp45Eewtw

  • I'd say, after coal, this thing became rather predictable.

    The sulfuric reaction looks like butter with maple syrup. :)

  • @SurferRosa79 hi... yes this video is very much an added extra for people who just wanted to see each reaction in detail (as Fluorine is a bit more unusual)... We move through them a bit quicker in the "main" Fluorine video of course.

  • If the fluorine combines with almost everything,¿what is the material that the fluorine container is made?

  • weapon of choice flourine canon

  • @TheAnimusik

    nickel

    the fluroine combines with th e nickle and creates a coating the protects the rest of the nickle sorrry for errrors :)

  • I was waiting for "Fluorine and flesh". I would be quite interested in seing what hapens when it touches, say, a piece of pig, or a chicken leg. 

  • what is the song?

  • You could drop a canister from a plane and make a fluorine bomb!

  • @19thSFGA I am a Texan. I believe the death penalty should be replaced with a life sentence in the electric chair....A sub-leathal dose every 5 min for life....

  • @TheAnimusik its nickle but they do something to it so that its inert to fluroine

  • @SoNDgs The bond between fluorine atoms in a fluorine molecule is extremely weak while the bond between fluorine atoms and other molecules such as oxygen are extremely strong. When bonds are formed, energy is given off. Since only a small amount of energy is needed to break the fluorine-fluorine bonds and a large amount of energy is given off when fluorine bonds to something else, this excess energy is given off as heat (i.e. fire)

  • Texas is looking into this as there prefered method of execution the condemed would have there abdominal cavity injected with fluorine.After that stand back and watch the fat sizzle !

  • I wish I understood the chemistry of this better, it's remarkable how everything seems to spontaneously combust.
