WHAT DOES FLUORIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fluoride

Fluoride

Fluoride /flʊəraɪd/ is an inorganic anion of fluorine with the chemical formula F−. It contributes no color to fluoride salts. Fluoride is the main component of fluorite, and contributes a distinctive bitter taste, but no odor to fluoride salts. Its salts are mainly mined as a precursor to hydrogen fluoride. As it is classified as a weak base, concentrated fluoride solutions will cause skin irritation. Fluoride is the simplest unary fluorine anion, the other being the tentatively investigated trifluorate anion. Its salts are important chemical reagents and industrial chemicals, mainly used in the production of hydrogen fluoride for fluorocarbons. Structurally, and to some extent chemically, the fluoride ion resembles the hydroxide ion. Fluoride ions occur on earth in several minerals, particularly fluorite, but are only present in trace quantities in water.

Definition of fluoride in the English dictionary

The definition of fluoride in the dictionary is any salt of hydrofluoric acid, containing the fluoride ion, F–. Other definition of fluoride is any compound containing fluorine, such as methyl fluoride.
