Oxygen Diflouride - Chemical of the Month

[@nanday100]

I'm a chemistry teacher and I love these videos. The kids are always asking, "When will we ever use chemistry??" I always mention nursing or culinary arts, but now I can say firefighting too! Thanks, guys.

When there's a rainbow without a beginning or an end it tells you a lot of what's in the atmosphere that's displayed through the colors of the rainbow in the middle of the sky without a source or a destination of the beginning to end

big difference in properties between Fluorine and fluoride. Fluoride very unreactive but fluorine is very reactive

[@stephenviggiano1610]

The chemical in question still contains two fluorine atoms. Also you could refer to the other names for this chemical: Difluorine monoxide, Fluorine monoxide, Oxygen fluoride. So is it fluoride or fluorine? When such a small amount can kill, you treat it as the most dangerous potential option. Lastly, look at how this chemical reacts, among other things: reacts to form hydrofluoric acid. That’s a pretty far cry from what fluoride as a stand-alone chemical component does when exposed to water.
