  2. Fluorine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_compounds

    The carbon–fluorine bond of the smaller molecules is formed in three principal ways: Fluorine replaces a halogen or hydrogen, or adds across a multiple bond. The direct reaction of hydrocarbons with fluorine gas can be dangerously reactive, so the temperature may need to be lowered even to −150 °C (−240 °F). [115] "

  3. Aluminium fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_fluoride

    Aluminium fluoride is an important additive for the production of aluminium by electrolysis. [4] Together with cryolite, it lowers the melting point to below 1000 °C and increases the conductivity of the solution. It is into this molten salt that aluminium oxide is dissolved and then electrolyzed to give bulk Al metal. [12]

  4. Fluorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine

    Fluorine is a chemical element; it has symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen [note 1] and exists at standard conditions as pale yellow diatomic gas. Fluorine is extremely reactive as it reacts with all other elements except for the light inert gases. It is highly toxic.

  5. Aluminium monofluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_monofluoride

    Aluminium monofluoride, also known as fluoridoaluminium, is the chemical compound with the formula AlF. This elusive species is formed by the reaction between aluminium trifluoride and metallic aluminium at elevated temperatures but quickly reverts to the reactants when cooled. [ 1 ]

  6. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    Aluminium has a high chemical affinity to oxygen, which renders it suitable for use as a reducing agent in the thermite reaction. A fine powder of aluminium reacts explosively on contact with liquid oxygen; under normal conditions, however, aluminium forms a thin oxide layer (~5 nm at room temperature) [43] that protects the metal from further ...

  7. Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide

    Aluminium oxide (or aluminium(III) oxide) is a chemical compound of aluminium and oxygen with the chemical formula Al 2 O 3. It is the most commonly occurring of several aluminium oxides, and specifically identified as aluminium oxide. It is commonly called alumina and may also be called aloxide, aloxite, or alundum in various forms and ...

    Aluminium has a high chemical affinity to oxygen, which renders it suitable for use as a reducing agent in the thermite reaction. A fine powder of aluminium reacts explosively on contact with liquid oxygen; under normal conditions, however, aluminium forms a thin oxide layer that protects the metal from further corrosion by oxygen, water, or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_compounds

    The surface of metals like aluminium and titanium are oxidized in the presence of air and become coated with a thin film of oxide that passivates the metal and slows further corrosion. [5] So-called noble metals, such as gold and platinum, resist direct chemical combination with oxygen, and substances like gold(III) oxide (Au 2 O
