Does it have a non-scientific name, I can't find any reference to it in my chemical lookup book - not that thats a bad thing - I just want to see the warnings it has Cheers, Ryan Jones

As long as its more reactive than Bromine then a displacement reaction will occur, so in this case the Chlorine will displace the Bromine from its salt. The only problem will be getting the actual, Bromine out of the solution, It will probably sink to the bottom as (I think anyway...) its denser than water You'll also have to make shure that the solution does not produce a big exotheric reaction that could vapourize the Bromine.... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Then the thread has served its cause - it was originally started to find out about the stuff and now everyone knows its dangerous - avoid it like the plague lest thy blow they finders off! Cheers, Ryan Jones

jdurg - you've seen some pretty powerful stuff, lets jsut say I hope I can avoid most of the stuff in that list! Anyone else got anything to share? And isn't Uranium metal/Uranyl Nitrate restricted due to its radioactivity? Heres a question - has anyone ever seen any Antimony compounds, according to a book I have they rank top of the list in toxicity! Is AP Acetone Peroxide? Cheers, Ryan Jones

You've actually seen those stuff? Could you imagine what would have happened if some had leaked not that you'd have a lot of time to worry... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Mods: Is this acceptable, I am not asking people how they made the stuff, where they got it etc. I'm just wondering what the most dangerous thing you think you've seen / used I saw these when we were clearing out an old cupboard in the chemistry lad last week: I think the most dangerous chemical I have ever seen was something labelled [ce]Hg(ONC)_2[/ce] and it was in the back of one of the school chemistry cupboards... I did some reasearch and this stuff is explosive. My chemistry teacher said he never knew it was there - he said it has probably been there for years, the next day the bomb squad were called up to remove the stuff... I just wish I could have seen it explode! Or... it may have been the really concentrated solution of Hydrogen Peroxide, I've heard that stuff is pretty powerful. My teacher managed to dispose of that one - I'm not shure how he made us leave the room incase of any problems. Apparently it was about 83% concentrated but I'm not shure about that. Edit: then again, the Nitrogen Triiodide reaction was pretty powerful - I'm staying clear of that one too! Anyone else have anything interesting to share? Please do not post how to make the stuff - danger is bad! Cheers, Ryan Jones

Yea... makes sence... I'll have to point that put next time I see him then Cheers, Ryan Jones

I 've actually managed to see this one now. My Bio-chemical teacher said he has always been very interested in [math]NI_3[/math] so he made us a small demo - it was loud and it blew the beaker it was in to shreds.... And that was from a feather dropped on it. Not safe, not safe at all! Cheers, Ryan Jones

The sequence of the elements in its name and basically how do they decide which carbon for example is the "2" in 1-methyl-2,4,6-trinitromethylbenzene? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hi there all you chemistry fans! I remember a few years ago I bought a large "lump" of Bismuth in crystaline form. I have reently added a smaller piece to my mineral collection and so, I want to know if there is something the amature chemist can do with it? The lump is about 40 Grams incase you were wondering As long as it does not involve something explosive or very, very toxic and as long as it does not vreak the forum rules (For your sake and mine) then please post your suggestions! Cheers, Ryan Jones

It does work - its works quite well too I use it an another program, Firefox Preloader, and it works really well If anyone needs Firefox helps I'd also be glad to help as best I can Cheers, Ryan Jones

Ah, I see - so there is a pattern. Highest electro-positive element first and go from there? How about organic compounds, I know these are a bit more complex as there seem to be a hell of a lot more of them but do you have any insight into those? They seem to start from a fixed point in the chanin or sequence and move along from there but any insight would be much appreciated Cheers, Ryan Jones

Man... I'm stuid I should have guessed that one Thanks for the link Ryan Jones

Hi everyone (Again!)! I've been wondering about this for a long time. I know that things like 1-methyl-2,4,6-trinitromethylbenzene (AKA TNT) is a structural formula - those I know a bit about already What I really want to know is how does a chemist decide which element goes at the start of the name. Take Sodium Oxide, why decided that the sodium should go first? Are there rules that decide what element / component should go first? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hi everyone. Does anyone have a good CAS number lookup website? Also, does anyone have a website that tells you what chemicals can be bought legally in each country, I live in the UK incase anyone has anyhting specific. Thanks for your hep and time Ryan Jones

I have a question - what makes Nitrogen Triiodide so untable? I'm pretty shure its to do with its structure but thats about it. Are the other Triiodide compounds also like this? Thanks for the information, Ryan Jones

Na, most of it was pretty dull an repetative anyway... Maybe I should put it online sometime though Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hi Does anyone have (Or know of) a list of the bond energies? I'm just curios, its of no real importance. I'm just thinking of doing an analysis between them - I like messing with numbers Also, does anyone happen to know what the largest bond energy value is? I've seen some big ones but I'm shure you guys can come up with better! Cheers, Ryan Jones
