Potassium Fluoride: A Compound of Contrasts
Potassium fluoride (KF) is a simple yet significant ionic compound formed from potassium and fluorine. Appearing as white, crystalline powder or colorless cubes, it is highly soluble in water, a property that underpins many of its applications and risks. Unlike some other fluoride salts, anhydrous potassium fluoride is notably hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, which can complicate its handling and storage.
