  2. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  3. Antozonite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antozonite

    Fluorine atoms combine to produce difluoride anions and, upon losing the extra electrons at a defect, fluorine is formed. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Fluorine subsequently reacts with atmospheric oxygen and water vapor, producing ozone (whose characteristic smell, originally mistaken for a hypothetical substance called antozone , is responsible for the mineral ...

  4. Fluorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine

    Reactions of elemental fluorine with metals require varying conditions. Alkali metals cause explosions and alkaline earth metals display vigorous activity in bulk; to prevent passivation from the formation of metal fluoride layers, most other metals such as aluminium and iron must be powdered, [21] and noble metals require pure fluorine gas at ...

  5. Reactivity series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series

    The most reactive metals, such as sodium, will react with cold water to produce hydrogen and the metal hydroxide: 2 Na (s) + 2 H 2 O (l) →2 NaOH (aq) + H 2 (g) Metals in the middle of the reactivity series, such as iron , will react with acids such as sulfuric acid (but not water at normal temperatures) to give hydrogen and a metal salt ...

  6. Fluorine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_compounds

    Reactions with elemental fluorine are often sudden or explosive. Many substances that are generally regarded as unreactive, such as powdered steel, glass fragments, and asbestos fibers, are readily consumed by cold fluorine gas. Wood and even water burn with flames when subjected to a jet of fluorine, without the need for a spark. [12] [13]

  7. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    Pure water will tend to boil near 100 °C (212 °F), an example of one of the characteristic properties that define it. Other notable chemical substances include diamond (a form of the element carbon), table salt (NaCl; an ionic compound), and refined sugar (C 12 H 22 O 11; an organic compound).

  8. You Can Use Vinegar and Baking Soda To Remove Rust - AOL

    This will give the vinegar and salt enough time to react with the rust and loosen its grip on the surface. Step 4: Scrub Off the Rust After soaking, take a metal brush or steel wool pad and scrub ...

  9. Rubidium fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium_fluoride

    Rubidium fluoride is a white crystalline substance with a cubic crystal structure that looks very similar to common salt (NaCl). The crystals belong to the space group Fm3m (space group no. 225) with the lattice parameter a = 565 pm and four formula units per unit cell. [2] The refractive index of the crystals is nD = 1.398.
