Designing chemicals that are less toxic is one of the principles of green chemistry and the focus of this chapter is to present an expansion of this principle into a comprehensive approach for designing safer chemicals that can be used in the classroom. The same tools of chemistry used to examine structure, kinetics, dynamics and mechanisms that have revolutionized the electronics, transportation, and communication industries can also be used to design minimal hazard into chemical products. Minimized hazard needs to be understood as a performance criterion in the design of safer chemicals. The existence of hazard should be recognized as a design flaw.
