elemyntal Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Im'm sure that you've read about the cheez whiz being 1 molecule away from being plastic? did you also know that the human body is one molecule away from being hydrogen Peroxide? (I think its peroxide) which is toxic? Do you know any more? omg, a lemon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happybappy Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think you mean atom. And it is one atom per molecule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 did you also know that the human body is one molecule away from being hydrogen Peroxide? (I think its peroxide) which is toxic? No, water is one atom away from being hydrogen peroxide, or H202. Though, I forget how that works out. Can oxygen have an oxidation number of -1?

superson Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 1 atom in a molecule is right, and 1 atom, from what I know, isn't that little. I think it's something like, corret me if I'm wrong, rolling a dice. A 5 isn't really any closer to a 6 then a 3 is, people just think it is. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers.

Errdoth Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't think that me taking a can/jar/whatever they pack that in, and adding ONE molecule of something will change it's structure to a plastic. For one, one molecule really won't do anything in a big tub of cheese whiz. 2, cheese whiz does not have it's own molecule, and neither do plastics. They are both compounds. There is no "cheese whiz molecule." Correct me if I'm wrong, that's just what you'd think. Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Theres 37 liters of water in the body, thats 1250 ounces of water. For every 8 ounces of water there are 7.5E24 molecules of water. So in order for your theory to work, you would need 1.17E27 ATOMS of OXYGEN to be added to all the H2O in your body, inorder to make "your body" H2O2, hydrogen peroxide. That doesn't sound very likely. You would die from the large amounts of oxygen before you even came close. Not to mention the chemistry wouldnt just happen. Now if you took just one molecule of H2O, your right its only one Oxygen atom away from being H2O2, but its not like this is a spontaneous reaction. -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 We're one atom away from hydrogen peroxide... per molecule. So in reality, trillions of atoms make a big difference. And we already know that. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Ugh, if you were to change the chemical compound then yes. But you cant just "Add" an atom, you have to make a reaction happen.

misterxman Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Lots of molecular formulas are one atom away from becoming something completely different. Heck, some molecules just need to be mirrored to be something completely different. Also, there are molecules called "free radicals" that will react with molecules in your body if you inhale them, which doesn't completely transform you but will cause some effect on your health.

Your basically touching his butt already, if it's just a molecule. :) But did you know that H is one atom away from being H2? Amazing really. Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either.

No, water is one atom away from being hydrogen peroxide, or H202. Though, I forget how that works out. Can oxygen have an oxidation number of -1? Obviously. It's unstable though. Also, there are molecules called "free radicals" that will react with molecules in your body if you inhale them, which doesn't completely transform you but will cause some effect on your health. That reminds me. You can also have oxygen with oxidation number of zero. I think recalling my professor in inorganic chemistry said that some vitamins catch free radicals. (Also i think mostly these free radicals are oxygen atoms.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atestarossa Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 1 atom in a molecule is right, and 1 atom, from what I know, isn't that little. I think it's something like, corret me if I'm wrong, rolling a dice. A 5 isn't really any closer to a 6 then a 3 is, people just think it is. well, of cource it depends... just as a 5 is actually closer to a 6 than 3 is on my dice... the 3 is just one the opposite side of the dice :P ah well... but one atom away in every molecyle, eh well... it does add up, right? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick a number on a dice, and there are 4 equally adjacent to that number and 1 on the opposite side. The opposite sides always add up to 7. So 1 is opposite from 6. 2, 3, 4, 5 are all equally distant from 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 No. Even if you had that extra atom of Oxygen, you'd still need catalase to convert it from water to hydrogen peroxide, plus the conditions, such as pH, temperature and pressure, to be right for the chemical reaction to take place. So, no, we're not all one molecule away from being turned into bleach (which is actually one use of Hydrogen Peroxide). :roll: Above all else, we'd die long before we'd get turned into Hydrogen Peroxide anyway, considering it's toxic... | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I am shocked that nobody has said anything about Carbon Monoxide, which is one atom of oxygen away from being something we prduce naturally and can breath a little and won;t be affected (CO2) to something that will kill us (CO). And as for the Cheez Whiz thing; i believe it is the same with Splenda. Command the Murderous Chalices!

meol Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 [...]Though, I forget how that works out. Can oxygen have an oxidation number of -1? Yep, in peroxides. That reminds me. You can also have oxygen with oxidation number of zero. Yep. When it's part of an oxygen/ozone molecule. A single fission event of a Uranus atom produces energy on the scale of hundred of millions of eV, around hundredths of nanojoules. Nothing. This signature is intentionally left blank.
