Talk:Disulfur decafluoride

No mention of sulfur pentafluoride
... but sulfur pentaflouride redirects to this article. What is the relationship between the two? Ross Fraser (talk) 05:33, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The S-S bond in disulfur decafluoride is very weak so the molecule can easily break into two SF5 radicals - this also explains most of its reactivity. But I've found something else...


 * It's a common name (commonly used in certain contexts) that reflects the minimum empirical formula for the compound rather than the composition of the molecule itself. I've added it under "other names" in the data box. --Itub (talk) 18:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Flammable?
Why is disulfur decafluoride considered as very flammable by the hazard diamond? Surely it may react with oxygen to form (SF5)2O or (SF5)2O2, but this reaction is neither highly exothermic nor it contains chain reactions like combustion reactions of organic molecules, so it shouldn't be a violent reaction. So there is not really a reason for classifying S2F10 as being flammable... --79.243.252.242 (talk) 15:14, 1 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I changed it to 2/0/0 per Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens, which is much more plausible. --Itub (talk) 18:10, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

PEL wrong?
This formula (currently appears in the hazardous-levels section) Looks like it's missing a zero to me: 0.025 ppm (0.25 mg/m3) However, it is consistant with the following line: 0.01 ppm (0.1 mg/m3) Is there some kind of "weight of a cubic meter of air" thing going on that I'm not taking into account?
