Burning a brick in Fluorine — physical/chemical properties in action

In the demonstration below, a bit of acetone has been put on the corner of the brick to get the process started:

This demonstrates the remarkable effects of inherent, embedded, intelligible structural, quantitative properties of fluorine and other elements and molecules.

With lesser materials, we can see similar, even more spectacular effects:

Notice, the table of standard electrode potentials of selected ions:

A world that exhibits lawlike, reliable properties that are structural and/or quantitative shows how such properties are integrated into the fabric or architecture of being. END
