elem=C,N,B
organic
Summary:
--------
Dimethylamine borane is very flammable, it easily is ignited and burns
with a beautiful green flame.
Description:
------------
Take a metal spatula with some solid dimethylamine borane on it and put it
in a flame: The solid catches fire at once and continues burning when the
external heat source is taken away. It burns with a beautiful green flame
and a very thin, almost invisible white smoke is produced. A white solid
remains, when all is burnt. The white solid most likely is boric oxide or
a boric oxide/boric acid mix.
