This is chlorine trifluoride, one of the most reactive, corrosive substances known. This stuff will light asbestos on fire, as well as sand, glass, many metals, and oh, it will also ignite water. Basically if you start a fire with this stuff, your only option is to let it burn out, because anything you put on it will just burn up itself (though if it’s in an enclosed space you can flood the space with like argon or whatever). Apparently a spill of almost a ton of this stuff burned its way through a foot of concrete and 3 feet of gravel before it stopped.
It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers,

This is when I get to introduce everyone to some of my favourite science writing ever: Things I Won't Work With by Biochemist Ph.D. Derek Lowe, featured on Science dot org.
creepypasta for cats!!!!!!!!! one time one of the taller high up cats opened a food and you sniffed it and you didn’t like it. and instead of opening up a food you like the high up cat ate it because this food was NEVER(!!!!!!!!) going to be for you at all! It was for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
