      I’ll probably get arrested for answering this question.

      Probably it would have to be a mixture of an explosive, a superacid, and something radioactive for good measure. So that you can get poisoned and dissolved at the same time as you get blown up…

      Who asks these sort of questions!?

      I won’t give you specific names of chemicals because the list is big (unfortunately) … I do not want to scare you with them.
      You probably heard of “chemical weapons” … not a nice thing.
      Other chemicals are also Arsenic, mercury… and all the chemical elements that are used in nuclear bumbs. They have serious effects on people, health and animals. There use can be an issue for peace in countries.

      I’m not sure of the answer. I do know if you don’t store chemicals in the right way they can be very dangerous. Sometimes exposing something to air can have a dangerous effect!!!

      Any chemical can be dangerous, it might not explode or create a big mess but it could damage the environment or cause you long-term health problems.

      When you order in a chemical into the lab you get a MSDS (material safety data sheet) for it and this tells you how dangerous the chemical is, how to use it, what precautions to take, how to store it and dispose of it safely.
