@@johnnywalker2947 well,I have made some SO3 not too long ago because I wanted to boost the wet ashing of a bunch of IC chips and that worked perfectly:I didn't even need to heat that up-SO3 made it not only dehydrating insanely rapidly but it also generated enough heat to make some of the oleum boiling off-and actually it oxidized most of the black carbon gunge to carbon dioxide which made my task even easier and also I obviously didn't lose any gold because it was immediately reduced back to metal by copper which also was in those IC chips..And the SO3 gas was quite trivial to make:I simply added phosphorus pentoxide to sulfuric acid and so it got dehydrated all the way to it's anhydryde which I pumped into the batch where I did the wet ashing..Certainly could put phosphorus pentoxide into that batch directly but I didn't want to have more reagents to care about and also because I calculated everything in the way in which I got a pure anhydrous H3PO4 in the other batch for further experiments..

And when we use it for cleaning nuclear reactors, we get the lovely Uranium Hexafluoride. The characteristics of UF6 pose potential health risks, and the material is handled accordingly. Uranium is radioactive and decays into a series of other radioactive elements. Therefore, UF6 in storage emits low levels of radiation. The radiation levels measured on the outside surface of filled depleted UF6 storage cylinders are typically about 2 to 3 millirem per hour (mrem/h), decreasing to about 1 mrem/h at a distance of 1 ft (0.3 m). In addition, if UF6 is released to the atmosphere, the uranium compounds and HF that are formed by reaction with moisture in the air can be chemically toxic. Uranium is a heavy metal that, in addition to being radioactive, can have toxic chemical effects (primarily on the kidneys) if it enters the bloodstream by means of ingestion or inhalation. HF is an extremely corrosive gas that can damage the lungs and cause death if inhaled at high enough concentrations. -- So in a nutshell, not only is this also a nope chemical, it glows in the dark.

Simon wasn't entirely forthcoming with John D. Clark's summary of Chlorine Trifluoride. What he wrote was: "It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water - with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals - steel, copper, aluminum, etc. - because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes."

One could be forgiven for having never seen antimatter, as the largest amounts ever created were just a few atoms, and it dissipates almost instantly. However, there is a strong scientific theory that at all times the universe creates a particle of antimatter and matter that quickly destroy each other. More to the point, we have literally created it in the lab dozens of times using the LHC. Saying there is no antimatter is like saying the Earth is flat; a most disappointing falsity picking up steam in recent years.

Oh, wait. Answered half of that myself. The other half, besides greed, is political power can be tied to Global Warming Legislation. Concern for the planet is after that, because Global Warmists would admit that per capita (the only actual fair measure of pollution production), the US is actually one of the best countries when it comes to pollution.

Okay... so that was significantly off the topic. Ignoring (for the moment) your allegation that Global Warming accepting individuals, and by extension, companies using Legislation to fraudulently profit from something that, you claim, is untrue. You are claiming this in disagreement to the myriad scientific paper, journals, and renowned scientists whom all support this with utter conviction. 95% of all scientific papers on the matter have shown extremely plausible data (sure-fire) supporting climate change based on Human interference in the environment. These interference including, but not limited to: unsustainable levels or carbon emissions, modern agricultural methods, and environmental destruction. Giving rise to unprecedented levels of green-house gases never seen before outside of planet-wide cataclysms in the far ancient past. Only about 5% of all the scientific population has even the slightest disagreement with the current models of Global Warming. I will not waste any more time than this arguing with those who believe Humans are infallible in our rule over Earth, or those who find the flashiest headline featured on FOX news and take it as scientific fact. I did not direct my earlier statement at yourself, or disagree with it in any way. Nor do I believe that you correctly understood what I meant when I said "You do not get to "believe" something exists in science for any reason other than, it does." What is meant by this statement still stands, as it does not care for, or condone the practice of applying belief to the art of scientific inquiry. Those who use a preexisting belief as weapon by which to deny hard-line scientific data are imbeciles pure and simple. I would rate your own belief on the corruption of Global Warming regulation or any disagreement you have with 95% of the scientific community, as such... imbecilic. If it just so happens that in the future your argument is the truthful one, then I will respect that and be glad that the Earth will not become difficult to inhabit. Until then almost all the data says otherwise. To reiterate, I will not respond to any future reply on this comment. I do not believe a debate will fix anything, due to a little known psychological phenomenon known as the Backfire Effect, to which we have already both played into.

One of the first Nobel prizes was awarded to Henri Moissan who finally figured out how to do it. Chemists before him actually died in the attempts. Finally isolated in 1886 his work was interrupted four times by serious poisoning caused by the element he was pursuing. Moissan isolated fluorine by electrolysis of dry potassium hydrogen fluoride and anhydrous hydrofluoric acid. The electrodes were made of Platinum (known as a noble metal for the difficult of it reacting with anything) and done at a low temperature.

This stuff is so volatile that even displaying the formula in a KZread video is enough to achieve ignition. It was surely an act of kindness.

My favorite chemical, even as a chem student, and the one that makes me want to work with Fluorine! It's one of the most powerful oxidizers with three of the most powerful oxidizer bonded to it; basically, don't touch. Something that can literally burn things that have already been burned is bound to be my favorite! It's one of the few compounds more dangerous to work with than pure fluorine gas, which any chemist could tell you is something you don't get to say often. In fact, Fluorine reacts with literally everything except Helium. Literally. Everything. I call ClF3 "Liquid Hell".

You'd then have to assume that the lab equipment to make stuff was either also like with that etched glass, or that the lab equipment was quickly consumed. The only other option would be of you could control it by magnetic field like in a tokamak reactor, amd tou know they didn't have that technology back in WW2.

You puff in small amounts of it in gaseous form. The goal of "cleaning" semiconductor equipment is not to scrub stains or something like that; it is to eliminate oils and other compounds that would vaporize and "out-gas" under vacuum conditions. Semiconductor vacuum equipment is almost universally made of stainless steel, so it can stand up to the ClF3 in the small amounts used - a bit of corrosion on the surface won't affect the process of sputtering or whatever the chamber is used for; vaporizing chemicals such as machining oils or welding flux used to build the chamber in the first place are far more damaging to the chips you are trying to make. Most clean lines use chemical solvents, but for very sensitive chambers and components this dangerous stuff is ideal.

Quintinohthree This is a popular youtube video about a curious chemical, not a research paper on a reaction mechanism. And as such, the video is great! And in my humble opinion, if you are a chemist you better know how to spell your chlorine. But if you are anything like the intended audience of this clip (it was made for the general public: a housewife, a lawyer or a psychologyst) then neither do you care nor does it make a substantial difference in your life whether chlorine's symbol is written correctly. It seems like you guys are missing the big picture. While you are both correct as far as chemistry, your remarks are useless to the viewers and the message of this video. You are knit picking on insignificant details. Are you trying to prove to yourself that you are smart by pointing out others' mistakes?? Do you really think its worth it for the poster to spend the time to edit the whole video to add the missing L? Who cares if its really T-shaped? We are not doing molecular symmetry here. Get some empathy in yourselves!

As a chemist I am quite hardened and there are only a few substances I am genuinely afraid of working with and only a handful I would simply refuse to touch. Cl3F is one of the ones I would refuse to touch even it if costs my job. The ones I am afraid of are such things like organic Mercury or HF (which was mentioned in this video as well)

Man, when you realise all these videos were actually written by |Karl Smallwood from fact fiend, it just makes these videos so much better.

I worked in a lab where we used the similar bromine pentafluoride. We used it to extract oxygen from rocks and minerals for oxygen isotope analysis. Some other labs have similar oxygen extraction lines which use chlorine trifluoride. The BrF5 was stored in vessels made of Teflon. The tubes and reaction vessels were made of nickel, if I recall correctly, the vessels were heated to 600 degrees C for several hours in order for the reaction to take place completely. The gas was moved around by cooling the target vessel with liquid nitrogen. Supposedly, these days, they do the same thing by heating up the rock powder with ground-up Teflon - this releases F gas which reacts with the rock to release the oxygen.

@5:30 It was never used a rocket *fuel*; it was used an oxidizer (the stuff that combines with the fuel). The wonderful book "IGNITION! An Informal History of. Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark said it worked very well once you get the stuff into the combustion chamber with the fuel, but managing it was such a pain that even the cold war US military drew the line. (Coating the pipes with teflon worked until the flow of CTF eroded away in a few seconds...)

Now that's an interesting premise. Forgetting all the safety hazards in getting it into space and assuming you did. It would not need oxygen to burn it's target. However, what temperature would it freeze at? If water or ice are combined on impact would it now explode? And on the down side, would not the substance and it's deadly byproduct gases remain in space ..... forever? Kind of like a minefield in space just waiting for an object to come into contact with it. Sorry Jean Luc, but the saucer section and starboard nacelle are....... gone sir.

Spock - " fascinating, a self oxidizing space blob " Data - it is highly unlikely the ship will survive contact with the compound. And your query as to holding it in a transporter diagnostic cycle is just stupid, even from you commander Riker, as it would destroy all elements of the transporter system as it passed thru them leaving it to now be burning and destroying the Enterprise from the inside. The more curious question should be... what happens to chlorine trifloride when it comes in contact with itself ?
