Initial conditions for a fluorine hellscape
+0
−0
I'm curious what it would take to get a planet with so much free fluorine that you can have an atmosphere of predominantly or purely fluorine. I realize how improbable a planet like this is, so I'm looking for the long set of perhaps contradictory conditions that would lead to a hellscape planet like this. How do I get a planet sized ball of fluorine ash products and an atmosphere of fluorine to go with it?
Planet parameters:
- Earth-like in mass.
- Surface atmosphere of one bar
- Atmosphere is >70% fluorine
Points in a good answer :
- Organization and evolution of the proto planetary disk.
- Processes required to concentrate enough fluorine in one place to get a fluorine planet and fluorine atmosphere.
Out of Scope
- Questioning the question :) I know this planet is crazy and highly improbable. Don't tell me why it can't work. Tell me why it can and what it would take.
- Life. Whether this planet will support life doesn't matter to this question.
- Evolution of the planet past initial formation.
