There isn't really an answer to this question. Chemical reactions are not, in and of themselves, "lethal" unless they're occurring in or to your body. It's possible, with the proper precautions, to work with chemicals that are extremely toxic, corrosive, flammable or just out and out nasty.

The most toxic chemical is another thing that's really hard to quantify, since there are lots of chemicals for which extremely small amounts can be fatal, but larger amounts aren't always necessarily fatal (just because Biology can be weird like that). Some good candidates would be ricin and botulin.

Duodecaplyatomite.

Okay, that's not real; it's a literary reference (assuming you consider pulp space Opera "literary").

Pound for pound, it's hard to do much better than the combustion of oxygen and hydrogen.

In what kind of reaction can the products form the reactants?

The type reaction that changes the reactants into products is called a chemical reaction. Most chemical reactions can run forward or backward.


Which part of a chemical reaction is most changed by enzyme activity?

Reaction equilibrium


What chemical change is most likely to involve bubbling or an odor?

This is a chemical reaction.


If the chemical properties of the substance have not changed has a chemical reaction occurred?

It depends: just try to relate, try to write a chemical equation for and see if there are byproducts. Most likely, if the same chemical still has its same properties After the reaction, a chemical reaction has not occurred.

What is the biggest chemical reaction from homemade stuff?

How big is the biggest chemical reaction depends on what you mean by "big." Is it a reaction with the most spectacular result, the most ingredients, the most steps, or the most of something else? One suggestion was making Luminol, which is an 8 step reaction, and each step is a chemical reaction its self. Look at NurdRage video on how to make it on YouTube

Theobromine is present in many, if not all, forms of chocolate. It is incredibly lethal to Dogs and is one of the primary reasons in which chocolate is lethal to most, if not all, breeds of canine.
