brain damage

[edit]

I'm removing the brain damage thing.

can somebody add the bond angles and bond lengths in the Nitrogen Trichloride molecule picture.Chemfreak20 (talk) 12:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

finger loss

[edit]

Greenwood and Earnshaw claim Dulong lost 3 fingers in the explosion. Page 468 Chemistry of the Elements.--F0088 (talk) 15:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Polarity

[edit]

In the third paragraph it's written that NCl3 is very polar because of electronegativity difference between chlorine and nitrogen. But N= 3.0, Cl= 3.2; shouldn't that molecule be unpolar? (it's also also written into the template that it's immiscible in water. But if it is a very polar liquid it sould be very soluble in water!). Moreover, chlorine should be in the -1 state and nitrogen in the +3 state (electronegativity difference) and not the opposite; shouldn't it? Bokuwa (talk) 15:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In other Electronegativity scales (such as Allred-Rochow and Allen), EN of Nitrogen (3.0-3.1) is higher than that of Chlorine (2.8-2.9). --Anoop Manakkalath (talk) 03:59, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Polarity and reaction with water are unreferenced and contradicted by Wiberg and Hollemann

[edit]

The polarity is low as evidenced by the small dipole moment. The reaction with water according to Wiberg forms N2, HOCl and HCl.

Inconsistency

[edit]

It says that "Agene was banned in 1947" and "Agene caused brain damage leading to its ban in 1949". Which one? Alfa-ketosav (talk) 11:42, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
