Reposting my guess: N

Oh sorry! I must have missed the 'N' when the topic went to the next page.

Yep! There are two Os.

(on an unrelated note, the previous word divider looks too much like the letter "I" in the current font set. I have tried to find a better alternative. Just keep in mind that the colon is not actually in the set of words, it is just there as a more distinct divider.)

Ha! I know my chemistry!

Dioxygen Difluoride !

Dammit, I knew it's from chemistry, but I wasn't so good and interested in chemistry. :/

Though I have read some recently:

Yep, you've got it!

It is now your turn.

Though if anyone is curious about the chemical in question, this is an excellent synopsis. Here is a highlight:

Quote

Here’s how the experimental prep of today’s fragrant breath of spring starts:

The heater was warmed to approximately 700C. The heater block glowed a dull red color, observable with room lights turned off. The ballast tank was filled to 300 torr with oxygen, and fluorine was added until the total pressure was 901 torr. . .

And yes, what happens next is just what you think happens: you run a mixture of oxygen and fluorine through a 700-degree-heating block. “Oh, no you don’t,” is the common reaction of most chemists to that proposal, “. . .not unless I’m at least a mile away, two miles if I’m downwind.” This, folks, is the bracingly direct route to preparing dioxygen difluoride, often referred to in the literature by its evocative formula of FOOF.

What a nice way to prepare a chemical that only Cthulhu would love! And keep in mind that this stuff is so reactive it will ignite ice, chlorine, and ammonia at temperatures as low as 90 K. FOOF is certainly a chemical name to run away from fast.
