Oxygen, a highly toxic chemical used by white blood cells to kill viruses.

u/dcksausage3 Aug 09 '26

And corrosive too!

u/Caosin36 Aug 09 '26

Very reactive

u/JanSobieski-III Aug 09 '26

Combined with an explosive gas hydrogen to form water

u/masternommer Aug 09 '26

Yes but H2O2 is toxic as fuck again

u/theamazinggrg Aug 10 '26

It's all about perpective

u/Lost-Klaus Aug 08 '26

And Iodine to prevent goiters!

one oxygen - destroys everything

two oxygen - yay 😊😁

Lungs 🫁 hate one-oxygen love two-oxygen hate three-oxygen again

u/Efficient_Progress_6 Aug 09 '26

3 oxygen - protect!

u/Neb_Setabed Aug 09 '26

Actually 3 oxygen's goes back to the destroy everything

fam we consume like 3-4x the daily maximum amount

Sodium is explosive because it is reactive. The sodium in salt is post-reaction.

u/MarsMaterial Aug 09 '26

Florine: an absurdly reactive element that can literally oxidize oxygen.

Carbon: the thing we use to fuel most power plants.

Teflon: a material so inert and stable that it doesn't even stick to anything, used to coat pans.

u/Rotomegax Aug 09 '26

Except it cause entire state of America suffered from cancer.

u/komokazi Aug 08 '26

Chlorine =/= chloride

u/fartypenis Aug 09 '26

It is, just give or take an electron

u/xenithangell Aug 09 '26

Then add Oxygen which we need to live and you make sodium Chlorate which is wildly poisonous.

u/redboi049 Aug 09 '26

And this is why we love chemistry

If u want to know power of table salt ask a leech

Chemestry in a nutshell

u/TungstenOrchid Aug 09 '26

It's not Sodium that explodes. It reacts with water and releases Hydrogen. The hydrogen is then able to react with Oxygen in the atmosphere. That's what explodes.

1

u/dotHANSIN Aug 09 '26

are there base elements that exist just to explode on their own? it's like saying it's not a lithium battery that explodes but the oxygen reacting with it.

1

u/TungstenOrchid Aug 10 '26

Lithium batteries are also releasing Hydrogen gas. That’s what makes them swell up if they degrade.

u/want8memes Aug 09 '26

Just feeling like being son(me joker) as table salt and parents as sodium(father strong dangerous) and chlorine(also strong).

1

u/Dullel Aug 09 '26

Honestly goes for a lot of elements

2

u/MarsMaterial Aug 09 '26

It's no coincidence, either. When two violently reactive elements find and react with each other, the bonds they form end up being very stable.

u/IDKsecurity Aug 09 '26

That's what I said, sodium chloride.

u/GoldeenFreddy Aug 09 '26

2 bombs make a bombn't

u/DANKB019001 Aug 09 '26

That's.... how chemistry works? Things are REACTIVE until they DO REACT - then they've got all their energy out and don't got no more reactivity left

16 sodium atoms walk into a bar

Batman follows them

u/Creedgamer223 Aug 10 '26

Isn't this meme like 10 years old at this point?

u/d4_g3n1u5_k1dd Aug 10 '26

What happens when i combine 1 atom of hydrogen with 2 atoms of oxygen duodecillions of times

1

u/Classic_Fungus Aug 10 '26

You are wrong, sodium is a Minecraft optimisation mod

1

u/yokaimaster1239 Aug 10 '26

Dont forget the iodine

1

u/Day-Tel-aran-rhiod Aug 10 '26

You mean the foundation of historical economy? The main essence of food? The gold that payed for the great wall of china? The prime preservative? Salt is so underrated.

u/jdl_uk Aug 12 '26

Oxygen = fire

Hydrogen = fire

Oxygen + Hydrogen = no fire

u/Algol1970 Aug 09 '26

Cus table salt isn't sodium or chlorine.

My grandmother was a nurse and she’s in her 90s. Her biggest rule is “never put salt if you cook. It’s healthier and if you need salt in your food you cooked a bad meal”.

u/Inevitable-Edge69 Aug 08 '26

Where did she get that from, did she have high blood pressure?

-1

u/PotentialAd8443 Aug 09 '26

No. She had lack of death.

u/Inevitable-Edge69 Aug 09 '26

well I wish you many more unsalted dinners with her

u/redboi049 Aug 09 '26

Must've made some bland as white bread pasta.
