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an S. Which is interesting because “thiol” is a group R-SH, which is like an alcohol group (R-OH) but again the O has been replaced by an S.
5311. I'm gonna try to impress my chemistry teacher with this tomorrow! 
Thx!
Thx!
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.
5314. Yes, yes it is. Azidoazide azide is another that comes to mind. Some selenium compounds are included as well, because of their terrible smell.
5315 Another is Chlorine Triflouride. In terms of how not to do it, my personal favorites are the liquid nitrogen tank and liquid oxygen tank. Anyone want to take some guesses on what goes wrong with those?
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
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).
5317. http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2012/05/15/things_i_wont_work_with_selenophenol There you go, the article about one of those selenium compounds. Lets just say it smells really bad. How bad is stated quite nicely in the article.
5319.
It does end up exploding things, but not because it's flammable, at least not at first.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

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!
