Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide, also known as nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide, is a colorless gas with the chemical formula NO. It is a free radical with an unpaired electron and is a heteronuclear diatomic molecule. It forms in combustion systems and can be generated by lightning in thunderstorms. Nitric oxide is...
Sulfuric Acid
Sulfuric acid, also known as oil of vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid that is miscible with water. Pure sulfuric acid does not occur naturally due to its strong affinity to water vapor, but it is hygroscopic...
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a toxic gas responsible for the odor of burnt matches and is released naturally by volcanic activity. It is produced as a by-product of copper extraction and the burning of sulfur-bearing fossil fuels. SO2 is a bent molecule with C2v symmetry point group, with a bond...
Carbon Tetrachloride
Carbon tetrachloride, also known by various names such as carbon-Tet and tetrachloromethane, is a non-flammable, colourless liquid with a "sweet" chloroform-like smell. It was once widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants, and as a cleaning agent but has since been phased out due to environmental and...
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, nitrous, nitro, or nos, is a chemical compound with the formula N2O. It is a colorless, non-flammable gas with a slightly sweet scent and taste at room temperature. At elevated temperatures, it is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen. Nitrous oxide has...
Toluene
Another name for toluene, which is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon, is toluol. It has the same smell as paint thinners and is colorless and insoluble in water. A phenyl group is joined to a methyl group (CH3) in this mono-substituted benzene derivative. Due to this, methylbenzene is its systematic IUPAC...
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas with the chemical formula CH2O. It is a vital industrial chemical used in the production of numerous consumer goods, including building materials, household products, and textiles. Formaldehyde is also a significant preservative, commonly used to preserve biological specimens, such as animal tissues and cells,...
