Moissan isolated fluorine through extreme chilling
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Because fluorine violently reacts with basically everything, Henri Moissan decided to freeze the substance into total submission. He chilled his laboratory equipment to ridiculous sub-zero levels just to keep the aggressive element from devouring his workspace. His sheer stubbornness paid off, confirming that extreme frost is the most effective way to handle volatile chemistry.
