Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a chemical compound consisting of hydrogen and fluorine atoms. It can exist as a colorless gas or a volatile liquid with a rather pungent odor, though it is often odorless. HF is highly reactive and possesses strong corrosive properties, making it one of the most dangerous acids.
