| Dinitrogen tetroxide |
|
Rocket Fuel |
Nitrogen tetroxide (dinitrogen tetroxide or nitrogen peroxide) is the chemical compound NO. It is a powerful oxidizer, highly toxic and corrosive. NO is hypergolic with various forms of hydrazine, i.e., theyburn on contact without a separate...

| Hydrogen peroxide |
|
Rocket Fuel |
Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colorless in a dilute solution, slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used...

| Nitric acid |
|
Rocket Fuel |
Nitric acid (HNO), also known as aqua fortis and spirit of nitre, is a highly corrosive and toxic strong acid that can cause severe burns. The synthesis of nitric acid was first recorded circa 800 AD by the alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber).

| Chlorine pentafluoride |
|
Rocket Fuel |
Chlorine pentafluoride has formula ClF. It was first synthesized in 1963.
Its square pyramidal structure with C symmetry was confirmed by its high resolutionF NMR spectrum.
Initially, a common method for synthesis of this hypervalent molecule was...

| Fluorine |
|
Chemical Element |
Fluorine (, , meaning "to flow"), is the chemical element with the symbol F and atomic number 9. Atomic fluorine is univalent and is the most chemically reactive and electronegative of all the elements. In its elementally isolated (pure) form,...

| Red fuming nitric acid | Rocket Fuel |
Red fuming nitric acid (RFNA) is a storable oxidizer used as a rocket propellant. It consists mainly of nitric acid , also containing 13% dinitrogen tetroxide and 3% water. The color of the resulting red fuming nitric acid is due to the dinitrogen...
