First sentence: Fluorine-the superhalogen-is by no means a rare element: found only in the form of its mononuclidic ion, it lies 13th in order of abundance of the elements in Earth's crust, and therefore outranks chlorine and the other members of the "salt-forming" family (Cl, 20th; Br, 46th; I, 60th; Ar, the rarest element).
