Shouldn't the article read 3F2(g) and not 3F6(g)??? --ELiTe185 16:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

It should be HF. Obviously it doesn't produce fluorine gas; I don't think anything can produce F₂ except electrolysis. —Keenan Pepper 21:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I understand now. --ELiTe185 16:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh cool, looks like it is possible to prepare F₂ chemically: Fluorine#Preparation. XeF₆ doesn't do it though. —Keenan Pepper 21:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
