Sodium Fluoride (CAS#7647-14-5)
Sodium fluoride is an inorganic fluoride that is toxic and corrosive, appearing as a white crystalline powder or in granular form. It remains stable under normal temperature and dry conditions. However, it reacts with strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, to produce highly toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF). Therefore, it must never be stored together with acidic substances.
