- a white transparent waxy crystalline solid with a strong penetrating pungent aromatic odor
-found in wood of the camphor laurel, Cinnamonum camphora, which is a large evergreen tree found in Asia (particularly in Borneo, hence its alternate name)
- can also be synthetically produced from oil of turpentine
- used for its scent, as an embalming fluid and for medicinal purposes
- has calming properties
- readily absorbed through the skin
- produces a feeling of cooling similar to that of menthol
- acts as slight local anesthetic
- poisonous when ingested and can cause seizures, mental confusion, irritability, and neuromuscular hyperactivity
Modern uses:
- a plasticizer for cellulose nitrate
- a moth repellent
- in embalming
-in fireworks
- a form of anti-itch gel currently on the market uses camphor as its active ingredient
-used in medicine (historically)

The oxidation state is an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
The formal oxidation state is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic.
Oxidation states are typically represented by integers, which can be positive, negative, or zero. In some cases the average oxidation state of an element is a fraction, such as 8/3 for iron in magnetite (Fe3O4).
The highest oxidation state is +8 in the tetroxides of xenon, ruthenium and osmium, while the lowest is −4 for some elements in the carbon group.
The increase in oxidation state of an atom through a chemical reaction is known as an oxidation; a decrease in oxidation state is known as a reduction. Such reactions involve the formal transfer of electrons, a net gain in electrons being a reduction and a net loss of electrons being an oxidation. For pure elements, the oxidation state is zero.
