What keeps me up at night is that scientists tested all these toxic chemicals on animals. They test any toxic chemical they can find on them. I think about it all day everyday... I hate them with all my heart.. alternative is instead of testing the chemicals, including medicine, on animals, pour it down the drain.

People used to be a bit careful about click chemistry (the azide-alkyne cycloaddition type) because of what was called azidophobia. No-one wanted to mess with explosive nitrogen compounds 😂 I've worked with them a lot, the general rule is to have a lot more carbons than nitrogens and then they tend to play nice 😊
@itsme5625 7 ай бұрын
Is one of the way to determine is it safe to isolate/store is to take the ratio of nitrogen/carbon If its below 1 it will blow up if isolated or concentrated, 1-3 is alright but shount be stored for long, and above 3 is safe to do anything with it. I’ve personally never worked with azide but I’ve heard bunch of story reported in angewante chemie

The first company I worked for made antimony products including catalysts and other much more tame products. The second company I worked for made fluoridated polymers and the gases that go into them. The statement about how aggressive fluorine is in attacking your body is absolutely true. And let's just say that any metal can get excited under the right conditions. Not for the faint of heart, or the careless.

Yeah, oxidation is a strange relic of a name. Chemists used to believe oxygen was THE oxidizer, until they realized _why_ oxygen works the way it does(it loves to steal electrons), and so they learned there were other compounds that could be used to 'steal' electrons as well, but they still kept calling it "Oxidation". I propose we start calling it "Electrokleption", literally "electron stealing".

Although from a physics perspective it wasn't nothing that caused it to explode. It gets into statistical thermodynamics to explain further but there was something happening that caused the explosion. Just not any type of external force. The energy that caused the explosion would have already been in the system. They could have likely prevented the explosion by storing it at a cooler temperature.

@@sep27061985 There's a good reason they didn't repeat that on the eastern front. Turns out pretty much any of the amphetamines will really do a number on your mind and body. Combine that with staying awake for much, much longer than our organism can really handle. The longest I've been awake was 3 days and it was already quite nasty - bones aching, very hard to concentrate, some auditory and visual hallucinations, so sweaty and greasy I had a shower every 8 to 12 hours.... and that was just from sitting around. Not to mention the fatigue for almost a full week following that endeavour. I really don't wanna imagine what it must've been like fighting in the battle of France... being awake as long as you physically could to stay in the fight. I'm quite sure those soldiers were burnt out to hell after the fall of France...
