“One can indeed make various hypotheses on the nature of the liberated gas, the simplest would be that we are in the presence of fluorine”. Moissan was to be awarded the Nobel Prize in ...

For decades, scientists knew there was a huge swath of undetected and unaccounted for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ...

It forms when a fluorine atom gains an electron ... Eating a lot of fiber can have an undesirable side effect: the production of large amounts of intestinal gas. When this gas is released by the body, ...

Fluorine compounds fall into two broad categories ... in the form of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF). AHF is a gas at room temperature, but when chilled slightly it condenses into HF, a liquid ...

Because fluorine is essential for converting uranium ... Simultaneously, helium gas sweeps atoms of the plasma into a mass spectrometer, where isotopes of uranium are characterized via the second ...

That gas was collected separately ... That the gases form a series in the periodic table, between that of fluorine and that of sodium, is proved by three lines of argument: The ratio betwen ...

Inhaled anesthetic agents include nitrous oxide (the oldest of all anesthetics) and various halogenated agents: desflurane (halogenated solely with fluorine ... as the blood:gas partition ...

A high-voltage feedthrough provides the RF energy needed to create a plasma, which knocks fluorine ions out of the process gas. The negatively charged and extremely reactive fluorine ions are ...
