Forgive me if I'm wrong, but ammonia? Odorless? I would, in the least, say that ammonia has a strong odor. Of course, P&P may have different baselines than Crime Busters, but I'm just in shock to see that on here.
You haven't lived until you've dipped your nose into ammonia.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

I still smell ammonia on my Chem Lab goggles (I think it's in my head...) ever since we worked with it three months ago. There is no way in the universe that ammonia is odorless.

Why would an atom more likely attract to fluorine than any other element?

Some random organism questions:
1. Which one of the organisms can also be called “Chinese Mandrake”?
2. Are the tadpoles of the cane toad toxic?
3. What kind of toxin ones the brown recluse spider have?
