You can apply this same logic to basically all of chemistry:
H: explosive, the main ingredient in stars
O: literally the reason fire is a thing, causes rust and kills cells via free radicals
H2O: I’m so wet, UwU
But we all know there’s nothing more dangerous than dihydrogen monoxide.
Everyone who has come in contact with that stuff will die.
Yeah the government needs to step in to stop the harvesting on dihydrogen monoxide
this trope is never not funny to me lol
Its also an industrial solvent and its used by nuclear reactors!
The Combination with water is also pretty nice:
HCl (Hydrochloric Acid - Very dangerous) NaOH (Caustic Soda - Also very dangerous)
Combine to literal Saltwater (H2O and NaCl).
Interestingly, because the reaction goes both ways, in any amount of salt water, there will be a miniscule amount of Hydrochloric Acid and Caustic Soda. The concentration is so low because they immediately react again, going back to water and salt.
It’s the OH- and H+ (or H3O+) ions that make the acid and base react the way we think about them. You don’t need salt for those to form spontaneously in water. Pure water will do it too. But there are many molecules in even a small volume of water, and the average behavior at pH 7 is such that you won’t get acid or alkaline burns.
One was heavilly charged and hence angry.
The other was also heavilly charged (the other way around) and hence angry.
Together they have just the right charge and hence are both chill.
Then; “Somebody…”
