Energetic chemicals
I know some of you have heard mention of fun chemicals like chlorine trifluoride (ClF3) and dioxygen diflouride (FOOF).
Well, here are a few more
Chlorine pentafluoride (ClF5)
surprisingly, this is *less* reactive than ClF3. Thought to be because the fluorine atoms are packed tightly enough to interfere with each other when it comes to reacting with things.
Trioxygen difluoride (FOOOF)
*Way* more unstable than FOOF. Also, in storage (at extremely low temps) the liquid tends to recombine to form FOOF and FOOOOF. Yes, that's *four* oxygens in a row. and that last reacts explosively with damn near anything.
