    Elements that cause explosion/burn

    As far a I know it's only the combination of Hydrogen, and Oxygen Atoms that cause explosion/burn, and that if there's other atoms in the mix it just causes a slower reaction. Is this true, if not then what other atoms cause explosion/burn?

    Notation for Referencing Elements in a Set

    Hi. I am just wondering, is there any notation i can use to refer to elements ONLY in a certain set. Usually, given sets A, B and C, i could refer to elements of only set A as A \cap \overline B \cap \overline C, but is there some notation that specifically refers to elements ONLY in a certains...

    Boolean rings with identity can only take 2 elements?

    Using the theorem that in any boolean ring a+a=0 for all a in boolean ring R. Then 0 is in R. Make the multiplicative identity 1 is also in it. Therefore R can only take 0 and 1 and no more because 1+1=0. 0+0=0. 1+0=1 always. So 2 or other elements can never occur.
