I just found this page talking about a very dangerous chemical subtance. Unfortunately, not many people are aware of the dangers, so I think it is a good idea to read this page.

This actually showed up in a newspaper once, and had a whole town in a scare because H20 was in their styrofoam cups. You'll need a grade 3 understanding of basic chemistry to appreciate this one.

But think of the children! Oh please, won't someone think of the children?
 
hydrogen.. explosive gas at stp
oxygen... highly explosive gas at stp, rather toxic to most life (very oxidizing).
hydrogen + oxygen? .... very stable liquid at stp, necessary for life.

sodium.. very explosive solid at stp
chlorine.. extraordinarily toxic gas at stp
sodium + chlorine? .... inert stable solid necessary for life (electrolytic cell processes).

carbon.. completely harmless solid at stp
nitrogen.. inert gas at stp
carbon + nitrogen? ... one of the most toxic naturally occuring substances in existence.

..... i'm on to something...

if you mix hydrogen and oxygen you get a very very powerful explosion. Its much more powerful than gas. Its what they use to send the shuttle in to space.

i was referring to the result of the combustion not the combustion itself :|
 
I heard that if you drop many nuclear bombs on a peice of land then it would create a large explosion.

science people confirm/deny
