Fluorine has two solid forms, α- and β-fluorine. The latter crystallizes at −220 °C (−364 °F) and is transparent and soft, with the same disordered cubic structure of freshly crystallized solid oxygen, unlike the orthorhombic systems of other solid halogens

Answer:
At room temperature fluorine is a faintly yellow gas with an irritating odour. Inhalation of the gas is dangerous. Upon cooling fluorine becomes a yellow liquid. There is only one stable isotope of the element, fluorine-19.
