Hey retard, we've discovered several elements via them being a byproduct of reactions we already knew.
A byproduct is just a product inadvertently made while producing something else. This can be incidental or secondary (IE deliberate.) There are no hard or fast rules on what can or can't be a byproduct.
While you're right that we can't manufacture elements out of whole cloth, we can derive them from other elements through interaction and reaction.
Sodium fluoride is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer, aluminum, and iron ore manufacturing. Direct words from the NCBI. For example, the neutralization of two byproducts from fluorapatite in phosphate rock to make superphosphate creates the byproduct sodium fluoride.
Neon was discovered because two English chemists knew that the creation of liquid air, would give them a strange gaseous- neon THE BYPRODUCT OF LIQUID AIR!
Aside from all of this, this discussion was about fluoride being safe for consumption, not it's creation or make up. Don't move goalposts honey.

Gas fractionation from cryogenic liquified air is simply separating the constituent gases from the whole. It does NOT create new elements or gases in the process. This is a bad analogy to use in your defense.
How retarded are you? Reading comprehension not your strong suit? I said we don't create elements out of thin air? We manufacture them through chemical processes all the time dumb fuck.
When Ramsey and Travers boiled off the neon from liquified air they manufactured neon moron. Did the neon exist beforehand? Yes, but their derivation of it would fit the concept of manufacturing.
We manufacture many things out of their constituent parts whether chemically or through other means.
No one claimed they just had a fucking incantation and neon showed up you dimwitted shit Gibbon.
Gas fractionation is actually an apt comparison. It's a chemical process where today we mostly manufacture a derivative of carbon. They used gas fractionation granted a very simple form to derive neon. Exactly as I said.
That being said you're entirely wrong about not being able to create elements. Twenty-four of those fucking things sitting on that table were created from nearly nothing because humans are fucking crazy.
Once more you've also moved the goalposts. We were discussing the safety of sodium fluoride, not my perfect analogy now fuck off you mealy-mouthed kike.
Wow you're retarded. Elements are atomic and cannot be made from a chemical reaction. They can only be made by an atomic process of fission, fusion or high energy sub-atomic particle bombardment. You cannot react reagents together and make an element, retard.
Gas fractionation doesn't make elements either. Cryogenically liquified air contains all the liquified gases that are stable. Liquified air will contain nitrogen, oxygen, argon, neon, krypton, xenon and other stable liquid gases (not carbon dioxide, helium or hydrogen because they need colder temperatures or higher pressures to be stable as a liquid). The liquified cryogenic gases will be raised in temperature till they boil off at their specific boiling points. Neon will boil off at -246°C. It can then be captured. Ramsey and Travers did not 'manufacture' neon. They isolated and collected it. If you trap a wild animal and isolate it, did you manufacture that wild animal? NO, YOU RETARD, YOU DIDN'T!
That being said you're entirely wrong about not being able to create elements. Twenty-four of those fucking things sitting on that table were created from nearly nothing because humans are fucking crazy.
They didn't start with almost nothing. They started with a shitload of equipment, huge amounts of energy and an existing element target that they bombarded with sub-atomic particles to force a new element to exist. They were not crazy. They were intelligent and this was accomplished through planning and research. They didn't just go into the lab drunk as fuck and started bombarding random shit with accelerated sub-atomic particles. Your lack of the subtleties of science is glaring. And I will remind you, you were not arguing with me over fluoride. I jumped in only when you brought up gas fractionation and I stuck to that topic only. Fuck off with your 2nd grade reading comprehension and moving of goal posts which were not even mine to begin with, mouth breathing niggerfaggotkike.
KingNigger, you certainly live up to your name. You truly are the kang of niggers.

You can't manufacture elements without a nuclear reaction. Period.
Oh no.... It's retarded....
If you understood what you were reading you'd realize it's not saying what you think it's saying.
Fluorine is obtained by the electrolysis of a solution of potassium hydrogendifluoride
Fluorine is extracted from potassium hydrogendifluoride. See the 'fluoride' at the end there? That's that pesky anion of fluorine. It already existed. Nobody is manufacturing it, they're extracting it via electrolysis. It's just like you you use electrolysis to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. You are not manufacturing hydrogen or oxygen.
