Zelos:
this is just theoretical. We dont know if it exists or not. I just want possible chemicals that can support life. It dont need to be liquid in rooms temperature. It just need to have a liquid phase at some temperature.

shvarz, I allways keep my self to physic. So this MIGHT be possible. but maybe some life out there have succeded in living in ammoniak

Numsgil:
I think you're right Zelos, liquid ammonia is polar, so it theoretically could support some sort of life similar in structure to ours.

This is not true with liquid methane (like on that Saturn moon they reproted had liquid methane recently).

Also, on the other side of the temperature scale, I think they feel that ionic life might be possible.  Things based on ball lightning for instance.  All conjecture of course...  Plasmas, you see, have all sorts of interesting properties.

So some sort of life forms could theoretically evolve on certain suns in their ionosphere.

Zelos:
now we are getting of subject. Is there anymore polar substances? it must be. is ther any list or can you guys plz tell me those you know?

PurpleYouko:
Pure alcohol  :wacko:

Zelos:
of course alcohol. but I think its C5 and down, bigger than that the polar propeties simpl become to small. But im after more less known chemicals.
