C-F bonds are very stable, not like O-F bonds. They're found in common drugs like Prozac, and common materials like Teflon.

- dekhn 5y agoIt's stable, but the chemistry to get there isn't trivial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organofluorine_chemistry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organofluorine_chemistry (my Organic Chemistry class was more than 25 years ago, but I did research on drugs containing fluorine in grad school; we had to parameterize the force field specially, the bond has a ton of energy in it, When I wrote my comment I knew somebody was going to come along and think I was implying CF3 was explosive.
