Toxic Compounds: Solids and Liquids

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the inquiry about toxic compounds, specifically whether there are liquid or solid forms that are not lethal. Participants mention dihydrogen monoxide (water) as an example of a substance often considered toxic due to its potential dangers in certain contexts. Hydriodic acid is also brought up, noted for its role in illegal drug manufacturing, which raises concerns about its mention in the context of toxicity. The conversation highlights a mix of skepticism regarding the original question and the potential misuse of chemicals, emphasizing the need for caution in discussing toxic substances. Overall, the participants agree that there are indeed toxic compounds, but the context and implications of discussing them warrant careful consideration.

Yes.

No idea what you are asking about and I am not sure if you know what you are asking about, but the answer still holds.
 
some examples?
 
what is exactly?
 
That's water ***.

That's not toxic, is this post even serious?
 
I don't like this...

This is what first leapt to mind, and with no reason given, I'm concerned about giving any advice or answers:

Wikipedia said:
Hydriodic acid is currently listed as a Federal DEA List I Chemical. Owing to its usefulness as a reducing agent, reduction with HI and red phosphorus has become the most popular method to produce methamphetamine in the United States. Clandestine chemists react pseudoephedrine (recovered from decongestant pills) with hydriodic acid and red phosphorus under heat, HI reacts with pseudoephedrine to form iodoephedrine, an intermediate which is reduced primarily to methamphetamine.[6]

Because of its listed status and closely monitored sales, clandestine chemists now use red phosphorus and iodine to generate hydriodic acid in situ.[7][8]

What did hydriodic acid have to do with the discussion? I can think of plenty of good uses for it.

Anyhow, I agree with Borek, the answer is, "Yes."

A concern about the nature of the question; I'm rather suspicious of people.
