Tetraoxidane (H2O4) is very unstable by itself, and I doubt adding a uranium into the mix would stabilize it

Hm... I'm guessing that adding Uranium to that would make it quickly oxidize, and instead of H2O4U, you'd get mostly U3O8 (the most stable Uranium oxide) and a bunch of H2O and Hydrogen gas.

And a lot of heat. If I had to guess, I'd bet on that being a... "rather energetic" exothermic reaction.

What is heat but shaken atoms?

Surely if you shook the bottle well, the ingredients would recombine like a vinaigrette, and the intended flavor could be appreciated.

By counting valence electrons?
