by Corinth

Description

**Molecular formula:** HF

**Molar mass:** 20,006 g/mol

**Information:** Hydrogen is a highly toxic, colourless gas. It is a medium-strong acid that etches the glass. It dissolves in water into a strongly corrosive hydrofluoric acid, which dissociates into ions

(HF + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + F⁻) in diluted solutions.

**Use:** It is used in the manufacture of polymers and in the etching of glass.
