Dimethylcadmium is the most toxic chemical known to man.
It is instantly absorbed into the bloodstream and rips apart the organs that need the most blood supply, including two body parts you may have heard of; heart and lung.
If the uncertainty leaves the poor unfortunate alive, the danger is certainly not over as dimethylcadmium is highly carcinogenic. If that’s not bad enough, it also explodes in water and breaks down into dimethyl calcium peroxide.
In short, it is a volatile, poisonous, cancer-causing, explosive, and vicious small molecule that can easily be called the most dangerous chemical known to man.
- ClF3 (Chlorine Trifluoride): The Nazis experimented with this compound in warfare, but determined it was too dangerous even to use as a weapon. Explodes on contact with water. It is lethal if inhaled. When decomposing it emits hydrofluoric acid. If it is loaded into a flamethrower and ignited, it can reach temperatures of 2400 degrees Celsius (to melt steel without problem, even rocks). It is such an effective oxidizer that it can burn things like bricks or asbestos (material used as insulation!)
- C2N14 (Azidoazide Azide): The most explosive chemical ever created. For those of you who know a little chemistry, none of its 14 nitrogen atoms have a triple bond, creating a huge exothermic potential. He is so sensitive that it is not clear how sensitive he is; it cannot be measured well since any touch or blow causes an explosion. Things that can cause it to explode are: moving it, touching it, dissolving it, just leaving it on a glass plate, exposure to bright light, exposure to x-rays, putting it in a spectrometer, turning on the spectrometer and…nothing, just doing nothing.
- CH3-Cd-CH3 (Dimethylcadmium) – I refer to Kevin A. Mora’s answer. It is the most toxic compound per gram. Its effects are both instantaneous and chronic (ie if you miraculously survive the first encounter, you will still be affected long term, it is extremely carcinogenic). It explodes if it gets wet with water, burns when touched, and if left to decompose it creates a crust of dimethyl calcium peroxide, which explodes when touched. And it smells bad.
- H2FSbF6 (Antimonyfluorhydric Acid): The most potent acid known. It combines especially well with calcium, so if it eats away at your soft tissue it will start to burn your bones. The only way to store it is with Teflon. We don’t know much about the compound because it’s very difficult to experiment with. It corrodes glass so you can’t put it in a syringe, for example.
