  Sus. How can something be related to chemistry but then not allow you to lick it!? 🤪

  Yeah, I’m not dancing around that thing. Lit candles strapped to dry pine trees indoors were already insane enough, but who knows what shattering some of that glassware might result in?

    If I had to guess, it’s mostly water.

    The really scary stuff (in aqueous solutions, anyways) isn’t usually brightly colored, it’s usually clear. Of course there are exceptions - like bromine or iodine - but I know what those look like and nothing on that tree looks like either of those.

    The reason for that is that most pigments are conjugated ring systems - complex organic molecules that break down in harsh environments - so anything sufficiently reactive would actually destroy any colorants you added to them.

    I’m not saying that bright, friendly colors are always safe… but the easiest way to get a bunch of bright colors is to use food coloring and water.

      “You see my dear undergrad, lab safety managers are only an impediment to Scientific Progress if they aren’t poisoned, corroded or on fire. Fortunately, this is a chemistry lab…”

  And this is why cats are not allowed in the lab.
