Mustard gas molecule
Mustard gas. Molecular molecule of mustard gas, which is not a gas in actuality but a viscous liquid. Mustard gas (C4.H8.Cl2.S) has the chemical name bis-(2-chloroethyl)-sulfide. It is a nerve agent and a strong vesicant (blister causing chemical) used in chemical warfare. Atoms are colour-coded: hydrogen (white), carbon (grey), sulphur (yellow) and chlorine (green)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate structure of a Mustard gas molecule. Despite its name, Mustard gas is not actually a gas but rather a thick liquid. This organic compound, with the chemical formula C4. H8. Cl2. S and the scientific name bis- (2-chloroethyl)-sulfide, is notorious for its devastating effects as both a nerve agent and a powerful blister-causing vesicant. The image beautifully illustrates the composition of this toxic substance through an artful representation of its molecular model. Each atom within the molecule is color-coded to aid in understanding: hydrogen atoms are depicted in white, carbon atoms in grey, sulphur atoms in yellow, and chlorine atoms in green. Through this visually striking artwork, viewers gain insight into the complex nature of mustard gas and its potential for harm. The structural details highlighted by this high-definition illustration emphasize how even at such a small scale, chemistry plays an integral role in warfare tactics. It serves as a reminder that compounds like mustard gas have been used as chemical weapons throughout history. While it may be tempting to view this image solely as an artistic creation or scientific curiosity, it also prompts reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction and our ongoing efforts to prevent their use.
