In the article I learned that Hydrofluoric acid is a strong acid eats away at calcium that is inside the body. Chemical burns are burns that happen where there is a chemical reaction that happen of our skin. The acid could cause death to people hardly showing any damage. When it reacts to mercury and calcium it would harm the body because the body needs those to run.

When I read this article I found it interesting that the name of the element describe the element's characteristics. I also found it interesting how chemistry have come from the greek word "cheo" or from the Egyptian word "khem." While reading the article it shows that many of the words we use come from a Latin/ Greek root and it means what it describe, like "meinei" comes from the Greek word small moon.
