Fluoride
Fluoride is the anion of fluorine. Fluoride, like other halides, is a monovalent ion. Structurally, and to some extent chemically, the fluoride ion resembles the hydroxide ion. In water solutions, fluoride ion is a weak base. Fluoride ion occurs on earth in several minerals, particularly fluorite, but is only present in very trace quantities in water. Many fluorine-containing compounds, even those covalently bonded, are referred to as fluorides in chemical nomenclature. Fluoride ion in low doses in the mouth reduces tooth decay without health risk. For this reason, it is used in toothpaste and water fluoridation. At much higher doses, fluoride causes health complications and can be toxic.
Fluoride
Fluoride () is an inorganic, monatomic anion of fluorine, with the chemical formula F− (also written [F]−), whose salts are typically white or colorless. Fluoride salts typically have distinctive bitter tastes, and are odorless. Its salts and minerals are important chemical reagents and industrial chemicals, mainly used in the production of hydrogen fluoride for fluorocarbons. Fluoride is classified as a weak base since it only partially associates in solution, but concentrated fluoride is corrosive and can attack the skin. Fluoride is the simplest fluorine anion. In terms of charge and size, the fluoride ion resembles the hydroxide ion. Fluoride ions occur on Earth in several minerals, particularly fluorite, but are present only in trace quantities in bodies of water in nature.
