Fluoride /flʊəraɪd/ is an inorganic anion of fluorine with the chemical formula F−. It contributes no color to fluoride salts. Fluoride is the main component of fluorite (apart from calcium ions; fluorite is roughly 49% fluoride by mass) and contributes a distinctive bitter taste but no odor to fluoride salts. Its salts are mainly mined as a precursor to hydrogen fluoride.
