Re: chemical warfare

No jit I can not really disagree I'm just pickin' on yah

CO is carbon oxide right? No, it is carbon monoxide.

It is at times called carbon oxide


Changing the old organic naming to a better one like IUPAC, that has been done.

1,2,3,4,5,6-hexanitrobenzene, in stead of hexanitrobenzene or Isobutane now being called 2-methylpropane .

But when I'm showing some one a peice of Magnetite, Fe3O4, I do not want to be calling it Triiron quadraoxide either

An explosion can be defined as a loud noise, accompanied by the sudden going away of things, from a place where they use to be.
