This chemical really doesn't want to exist

For this video, I make a chemical called manganese heptoxide, which is an unstable and strong oxidizer. It looks for any excuse to decompose and it reacts violently with most organic things. I tested it on a few things like cotton balls and paper, as well as solvents like acetone and ethanol. I also tried firing a small liquid rocket with it.

The coolest part to me is the fact that the smoke coming off the reaction at 3:50 with the second cotton ball makes rings (you can see them better in the slow motion part). I think that's a good testament to how much force is generated by this reaction even after the initial fire goes out bc regular fire does not produce smoke rings, they appear when there's a force behind the air that's pushing them quite a bit.

[@Altorin]

my favorite molecules are the ones which explode almost immediately, because you can see it in the chemical structure and sometimes even the chemical formula itself. in this case it's Mg2O7, which looks like it wants to explode. But if you want to see another chemical like that, the other one I've heard of is Azidoazide Azide, which is C2N14, and basically looks like a precarious jenga tower. Azidoazide Azide doesn't even need the introduction of an extra force (that totally will set it off, but its unnecessary), it just spontaneously explodes.

[@housellama]

"C2N14" - Jesus Christ, that many nitrogens in a molecule that small absolutely looks like what it is, which is an explosion waiting to happen.

[@amirg7225]

i remember that one! it explodes when exposed to light, no light, cold, heat, movement and generally existing. i guess breathing on it will also work. what a fun chemical

[@user-pq1ym5he4n]

Not to rain on your parade, but I'd like to correct you on the formula of manganese heptoxide. It's actually Mn2O7, not Mg2O7 But i get the feeling that you, sir, know it already. Sorry for disturbing, wishing you the best! And i find it interesting, same as you do, that formulas of unstable compounds usually look somewhat ridiculous

[@frtzkng]

Azides are always a good starting point for stuff that doesn't really want to exist. And this property also makes them valuable for syntheses. E.g. you can prepare certain pharmaceuticals used to treat high blood pressure, of the Sartan family, by reacting a precursor molecule with a nitrile group with sodium azide, in order to make that tetrazole ring, a 5-ring with 4 nitrogens in it. That in turn _sounds_ like it's unstable, but a tetrazolide anion is stabilized by being able to distribute the negative charge over the entire ring, which also makes tetrazoles behave as unusually strong acids.

I honestly love the way chemical substances change into nice colours. Like for example, the remains at 2:25 turn a really nice pink/magenta when water comes into contact with it. Man, i love chemistry.

[@richardwebb5317]

Manganese is great for this. Make a dilute pale purple solution of permanganate and raise the pH with some alkali (not carbonate). Add some glucose or fructose as a reducing agent and watch the colour changes.

@NEPA Buses flipside perspective is that it's free advertising except your advertiser skims some views off the top possible aesthetic objection is "compilation videos are artless, low-effort ways to profit off of other people's work" but curation is also a skill idk man I'm just ehre for a science video guys

He talked about using it to launch a rocket, but what if the Manganese Heptoxide was mixed on-ship? If you mix the ingredients rather than storing the Heptoxide itself, would that reduce the hazards of its instability?

[@mikerouch416]

My thoughts exactly

[@akrybion]

"It seemed fine and by that I mean it didn't explode."- I'm no chemist, but I think that's something of a motto most chemists live by.

Agreed, I don't mind longer videos, but if need be you could also just split longer videos into parts?

[@StarkRG]

Yeah, he should do Anatoxin-a next, that'll be a really short video... :P

[@Basement-Science]

The algorithm doesn´t care how long the video is. It cares about how much of it people watch.

[@heyguysjohnfarder]

The algorithm actually _does_ care about the length of the video- at least to an extent. It tends to promote videos that are about 10-15 minutes long. Shorter videos and much longer videos are rarely ever pushed to the front page.

[@limeangelo6019]

the algorithm demands longer watchtime btw
