C2N14 sometimes referred to as azidoazide azide sometimes explodes without any obvious cause. It has been described as being beyond current methods of determining it's exact sensitivity.

@@mikehenthorn1778 It's more like it likes to bond with one of itself and one of itself only. You know, the way it makes up most of our atmosphere or as and innocently floats away from just having provided a very exothermic reaction along with a nice boom in while blowing the hell out of something. Speaking of which that C2N14 molecule looks insane. I have never heard of it before and I have no idea how they even get it stick together like that. But it really looks like it wouldn't be sticking together long. Maybe if it was kept extremely cold like lower than liquid nitrogen cold keep it away from any inconvenient photons with a energy level of more that well... IDK but I wouldn't even want to hit it with visible light. That is possibly the most aggressively rickety looking molecule I have ever seen.

Great story; Excellent narration! Reminds me of a scene from Babylon 5... Michael Garibaldi: "No boom?" Commander Sinclair: "No Boom". Susan Ivanova: "No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow. What? Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here! Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!" 😆

I took one look at the title and shuddered. FOOF is one of those things you don't mess with. You treat it with the kind of respect you would give to a vial of zombie plague, assuming those zombies are also carriers of every horrific disease you've heard of. Covid, aids, spanish flu, avian flu, flesh eating bacteria, tuberculosis, leprosery, a few kinds of cancer...

My first reaction to them mentioning fluorine was one of *concern* because it's nasty enough as is. Then they mentioned chlorine trifluoride and it changed from mild concern to "Dear gods please don't let them make that!" Chlorine trifluoride may just be one of the single nastiest compounds known to man.

@speedingspoon262 Ай бұрын

My brother is doing his masters in chemistry and chlorine trifluoride is his favourite substance. When I asked why he simply said “it sets asbestos on fire” He then spent a be next 15 minutes explaining all the details about it and how it’s such a pain to contain. Seriously nasty stuff.

That is a horrible slanderous lie. Fluorine loves most other elements and will go to extreme lengths to bond with them! It's biggest issue is quite the opposite. It has a form of separation anxiety and hates being alone or stuck with other fluorine or similar atoms, like oxygen.

As soon as it mentioned other compounds, I figured Chlorine Trifluoride was next... Fun Fact: it was considered as an oxidizer for rocket engines, but the fact it reacts with practically ANYTHING as well as being extremely toxic meant it was (and is) more trouble than it's worth... if you have any kind of spill, the best course of action is to evacuate the area as you're likely going to be unable to do anything to stop it.

Whomever wrote this definitely has performed insurance inspections. I've done a few as well, though as an inspector I was not allowed to speculate on the cost of the policy. That's for the underwriter to do, and we're usually third party contractors. "The views expressed by this inspector are not necessarily the views of your insurer. I cannot speculate about how or if anything in my report will affect your policy" That's to say underwriters aren't forbidden from doing their own inspections. The main character is likely an underwriter.
