18F-fluoride PET scan
Fluorine
Fluorine is the chemical element with atomic number 9, represented by the symbol F. Under normal conditions, elemental fluorine is a pale yellow gas of diatomic molecules, F2. In stars, fluorine is relatively rare especially for such a light element. In the Earth's crust, fluorine is more common: the 13th most abundant element. The lightest halogen, fluorine has a single stable isotope, fluorine-19. Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of any element but chlorine and for this reason is one of the strongest oxidizing agents known. Fluorine forms stable compounds, fluorides, with all other elements for which the reaction has been attempted, except for helium and neon...
