Although metal ions are central to all of biochemistry, a group of elements clustered in the early part of the periodic table—carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus—are highly represented in ...

They use heat and flames resulting from a chemical reaction. In the case of white phosphorus, that reaction occurs when the substance is exposed to oxygen. Incendiary weapons are not explicitly banned ...
