BBr3: Boron tribromide. Shock-sensitive alkali metals 

this guy deserves 7,530,000,000 subs

the legend

Best mic placement ever.

wow how did I miss that xD

Hell yeah he did. Legit af; no fucks given on this channel!!

BIG BRAINED!

I think I first learned about Chemical Force from comments in an Explosions & Fire, or Extractions & Ire live stream.

Ha exact opposite from both of you , I stumbled across "ChemicalForce" while browsing for interesting videos , and his never let me down I am so grateful for these people who do this for us , I would never get the chance to watch these reactions otherwise . I am now going to go check out Explosions and Fire now , first I am hearing about that channel . Good stuff !

This guy just LOVES warning labels and also does some awesome experiments - ru-vid.com/show-UCFHMw64uu66VKPXq5gh29IQ - Brainiac75

@@EgonSorensen looks neat, thanks

Mortlet that's definitely a good guess, but then i wonder why there was no reaction even when mixed with red-hot sodium under a blowtorch?

@@BothHands1 Yeah so just molten Sodium might not be enough, although he didn't thoroughly mix them, he just kinda poured the BBr on top of the already burning Sodium. I would be very suspicious of a nice and glassy Boron Oxide layer forming from the Sodium Oxide present at the surface, and inhibiting further reaction while the evaporation of the liquid BBr3 on top quickly cools and solidifies the Sodium metal underneath. But once again, this is all some very bad speculation on my part. I've never taken an actual Chemistry class past high-school so...

Mortlet hmmm, you may be right. i've heard some other really interesting/compelling exanations too though, so i'm holding out for some confirmation. will be checking back in the comments periodically in the hopes that someone has a definitive answer. but i definitely think your speculation has merit. :)

@@BothHands1 Yeah I'm doing the same, and thanks :) It might really just be as simple as a fast increase in new surface area formed through mechanical deformation by the hammer though. I think I'd have to see a piece of Sodium reacting in a nice large amount of liquid BBr3 to narrow it down.

ClF3 - is too exotic even for this channel :\

well im here just like you now lol thanks to the other channel

Truth

yeah, which one?

Explosions and fire

@@ChemicalForce For me #1 is @ChemicalForce (I FEEL REALLY EXOTIC WHEN I WATCH THIS CHANNEL)

Me too :D

Yea agreed

Decaborane + WFNA...? Oh wait these aren't meant to *kill* people, right...? Never mind..

Just found your comment from this comment section, love the words and I'm surprised you don't have more replies! (Also, what am I up to?) (◕‿◕)

To make it extra exotic next time I'll be filming in Jamaica :D

Hey, thank you so much for making this awesome video! I had always thought that you couldn't handle BBr3 without a perfectly air-free vacuum chamber, and here you are pipetting it around in air! 8O The only time I've "seen" it be used, was as a gas inside of a vacuum, with exquisite temperature control being used to achieve the desired vapour pressure from the BBr3 reservoir. And even there the people had us do this whole training session about how BBr3 cannot exist in the atmosphere and how even a minute leak from the vacuum chamber would produce copious amounts of white smoke which, if it contacted exposed skin, would basically result in amputation. We were still told to immediately jump in the emergency showers while waiting for medical attention, but that we shouldn't even try washing the exposed area with dilute bicarbonate solution, since the "gaseous acid" would have already "gone through" the skin... Yeah.

@HalfSpeedMastering Tear "gas" is a bit of misnomer. Actual gases haven't been used against people for decades. To cut to the chase, the active compound in CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile) or CN (Phenacyl chloride) "gas" is a solid, but when forced out in really small particles they form what is called an aerosol (basically like a suspension, but just in the air), similar to smoke, but much finer.

You are always first

Lol

What are you up to?

Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄 :DD

Cool! I have never seen either of them :(

@@ChemicalForce , in my next video I will feature the violet in some close up shots and let you know when I post it. I have a few grams and will be experimenting with it. Fingers crossed that I can get my hands on the black allotrope sometime this year.

@@ChemicalForce we would like know the torch light bulb difuse from your channel using your science experience

Mad or equipped enough

He probably has reagent grade HF too

Seems like RU-vid didn't want my viewers to be with me :(

thank you! Good to know that collaborating with him wasn't for nothing

I Love my subs! ^_^

thank you! happy holidays :DDD

ChemicalForce does this mean I got it right?

How do you know I serve in the military? :o

Interesting question, wouldnt know though

I don't know for a fact but BBr3 probably creates some amalgam like mixture (smth like soaking tissue in water, no actual chemical changes but there's an obvious effect) that has a compromised structure So when a sudden change in pressure occurs that breaks a bond a chain reaction occurs like when tempered glass breaks I can't be sure I gotta check the chemical structures and even then I still cant be sure but that's my 2 cents

Guy That really interesting idea, thank you! i'll have to keep checking these comments for confirmation or more info

@@BothHands1 aight If you do find a proper answer tell me

kan petyim kan petyim but why does it become impact sensitive? what's happening chemically? is it basically the same thing as dropping it in water? but if that's the case, why didn't it have any reaction before the impact -- water would have caused an immediate reaction. someone else suggested a thin glass-like layer of NaBr/KBr might form on the outside, which prevents any further oxidation. but i guess smashing them together causes a ton of new surface area to be oxidized, causing the very quick reaction we saw here. but that still makes me wonder why it doesn't act the same with water? is the reaction with water not an oxidation reaction? i guess it produces KOH, so it's a reduction reaction instead? i'm admittedly a bit rusty on my chem

Boron is a solid element but you can always melt it I guess

Compliment not taken, sorry. Season 5 is trash :(
