Not in and of itself. However, it is extremely reactive, and the person trying to make the first fluorocarbons blew up not one but two labs attempting to do so by reacting fluorine with first carbon and secondly with hydrocarbons (which tend to react more slowly than pure carbon does).

No, fluorine gas is not explosive. It is a highly reactive and corrosive gas that can react violently with many substances, but it does not exhibit explosive properties on its own.
