2. Sodium fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fluoride

   Sodium fluoride (NaF) is an inorganic compound with the formula Na F.It is a colorless or white solid that is readily soluble in water. It is used in trace amounts in the fluoridation of drinking water to prevent tooth decay, and in toothpastes and topical pharmaceuticals for the same purpose.

   Sodium fluoride: yellow is fluorine, purple is sodium. They are isoelectronic, but fluorine is bigger because its nuclear charge is lower. The alkali metals form monofluorides. All are soluble and have the sodium chloride (rock salt) structure, [47] Because the fluoride anion is basic, many alkali metal fluorides form bifluorides with the ...

   Fluoride is considered a semi-essential element for humans: not necessary to sustain life, but contributing (within narrow limits of daily intake) to dental health and bone strength. Daily requirements for fluorine in humans vary with age and sex, ranging from 0.01 mg in infants below 6 months to 4 mg in adult males, with an upper tolerable ...

   This produces "carrier-free" dissolved [18 F]fluoride ([18 F]F −) ions in the water. The 109.8-minute half-life of fluorine-18 makes rapid and automated chemistry necessary after this point. Anhydrous fluoride salts, which are easier to handle than fluorine gas, can be produced in a cyclotron. [8]
