Fluoride volatility

<p>Fluoride volatility is the tendency of highly <a href="/facts/Compounds_of_fluorine/uWkyVVbu">fluorinated molecules</a> to <a href="/facts/Volatility_(chemistry)/90r3ep6w">vaporize</a> at comparatively low temperatures. <a href="/facts/Heptafluoride/UFt8KssU">Heptafluorides</a>, <a href="/facts/Hexafluoride/WJYHLppK">hexafluorides</a> and <a href="/facts/Pentafluoride/R6d2Pv5m">pentafluorides</a> have much lower boiling points than the lower-<a href="/facts/Valence_(chemistry)/ck7cHByj">valence</a> fluorides. Most <a href="/facts/Difluoride/JG97ItlI">difluorides</a> and <a href="/facts/Trifluoride/buubnfsp">trifluorides</a> have high boiling points, while most <a href="/facts/Tetrafluoride/6YDsPU7D">tetrafluorides</a> and <a href="/facts/Monofluoride/M3jPu6SC">monofluorides</a> fall in between.   The term "fluoride volatility" is <a href="/facts/Jargon/eI6scBdF">jargon</a> used particularly in the context of separation of <a href="/facts/Radionuclide/5WpCfbdq">radionuclides</a>.
