5303. And now I want to add “forumite” as a new type of mineable mineral, alongside usual customers such as bauxite and pyrite.
 
5307. Same thing goes for the (admittedly quite a bit less known) chlorate and chlorite, though they have even more variants (perchlorate, chlorate, chlorite, hypochlorite, chloride from most oxygen (4) to no oxygen)

5310. The thiosulphate ion is S2O3 and has a 2- charge. It’s like having a sulphate but one of the O’s has been replaced with an S. Which is interesting because “thiol” is a group R-SH, which is like an alcohol group (R-OH) but again the O has been replaced by an S.

5312 If you really like chemistry, I recommend this blog, it's written by a drug discovery chemist. Even if you don't like chemistry, I'd say read the "How not to do it" section. "Things I won't work with" is pretty fun as well.

Is one of those things they won’t work with FOOF? :D

5316. Liquid oxygen is just wonderful for making pretty much anything able to burn, and I'm sure there's plenty of other joyous things :D
Some selenium compounds are included as well, because of their terrible smell.
Although I'm not sure these actually have a smell (they probably do), I did like the thing about arsenic-containing organic rings, which follow the pattern of pyrrole (for a 5-membered ring containing nitrogen), but with "ars" for arsenic instead of "pyrr" for nitrogen. These can be aromatic (i.e. electrons delocalised around the ring).
 
5320.
It does end up exploding things, but not because it's flammable, at least not at first.
Well, no, of course not. Like I said, making anything able to burn - all sorts of normally non-flammable things will burn in a saturated oxygen atmosphere or drenched in liquid oxygen!

5321. Yup. Same thing applies to the previously mentioned chlorine trifluoride and FOOF. If I remember correctly they make even stuff like asbestos burn. Which is stupidly dangerous and awesome at the same time.
