VX is an odorless and tasteless [13] [14] chiral organophosphorous chemical with a molecular weight of 267.37 g/mol. [15] Under standard conditions it is an amber-coloured liquid with a boiling point of 298 °C (568 °F), and a freezing point of −51 °C (−60 °F). [16]
EA-2192 is an extremely toxic degradation product of the VX, a very potent nerve agent. [1] [2] It is a white solid that is very soluble and stable in water.EA-2192 is an extremely potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
Nerve agents are generally colorless and tasteless liquids. Nerve agents evaporate at varying rates depending on the substance. None are gases in normal environments. The popular term "nerve gas" is inaccurate. [1] Agents Sarin and VX are odorless; Tabun has a slightly fruity odor and Soman has a slight camphor odor. [2]
The last stockpiles of a deadly chemical agent in the U.S. have been safely eliminated, according to Kentucky officials in charge of destroying the Cold War-era weapons. The final M55 rocket ...

QL sulfide is an isomer of VX and readily converts to it. [2] [3] The toxicity of QL sulfide is unknown but the fact that it easily isomerizes into VX makes it particularly dangerous. [citation needed] It is the intermediate in the last step of VX production and binary VX deployment. [4]
QL is a component in binary chemical weapons, mainly VX nerve agent. [3] It, along with methylphosphonyl difluoride (DF), was developed during the 1980s in order to replace an aging stockpile of unitary chemical weapons. [3] QL is listed as a Schedule 1 chemical by the Chemical Weapons Convention. [4]
V-sub x, also known as GD-7, is an organophosphate nerve agent of the V-series, [1] the phosphonate analog of the organophosphate insecticide demeton. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] EA-5478 is the pinacolyl analogue. [ 4 ]
