So, can we share our experiences here.. ;)
what's the most dangerous compound you've ever handled? or the
most expensive chemical you've spilled? ;D
or the worst misharp you've encountered in the lab? feel free to
share your experiences;
hhhh...please dont expect me to start first. let's hear it first
hand from real chemists!

Most dangerous chemical I've ever handled - Bromine. I had
avoided many much more dangerous chemicals even I got chances to
buy them. Phosphorus pentoxide, Arsenic trioxide etc....
Most expensive chemical I've spilled - Sodium molybdate. I spill
things rarely.

very interesting :)
I think the most dangerous experiment I can remember doing is
electrolysing a mix of NaCl and NH3 solutions. The solution
became very hot and evolved a mix of various chloramines, but
that wasn't much a problem. I did it in the open air. The
problem I had then was that I didn't have enough reagents to
analyse the products of the electrolysis, and the solution was
decomposing with time ;)
