  • Fluorine Atacks Glass. And Astatine is Radioactive

  • Hydrogen Fluoride HF is NOT a strong acid because of the great polarity of the Fluorine causing lots of hydrogen bonding in HF it is the exemption of the halide acids

  • Bromine looks badass

  • @00bean00 you are indeed correct dear sir! the fluoride ion wil wreak havoc in your body since it is the most electronegative element, it will bind to anything to achieve its stability including ripping of Calcium ions from your bones... :)

  • @xjkgx That is a technical term, but HF is extremely dangerous. A splash the size of your foot is enough to kill you if you are not treated almost immediately. The acid soaks down into your bones (without burning you) and draws the calcium out of them and out of your bloodstream. Without calcium, soon your muscles, heart, and nerves will stop working.

  • Iodine is so pretty!

  • @xjkgx HF is indeed not a strong acid, but it does behave like one!

  • @xjkgx Technically HF is a weak acid, but that doesn't mean it is not powerfully acidic. It can easily melt through human flesh. Wiki it.

  • @felixthemaster1 You could put the iodine in the glass and then stare at the glass starring at the iodine!

  • @Chmielok

    actually fluorine does attack glass, in the presence of moisture to form silicon tetrafluoride, it will not react with dry glass though.
