@kayrosis55234 years ago I' ve known a number of chemical engineers, they' ve all said the same thing:
" carbon is the closest thing to magic that exists in our reality" 191

@SauvikRoy4 years ago Very nice video. What a great selection of elements! Carbon at first place took me as surprise, but it looked much clearer when you explained why you chose . ...Expand 45

@wesleytownsend82144 years ago Absolutely fantastic content! You my friend, should get an award for education.
i have enjoyed this creators channels and content for a long t i wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!. ...Expand 15

@galliumgames39624 years ago I got a 144g tube of beryllium that is coated with a resistant varnish leftover from the cold war. It literally feels like lifting a pvc pipe based on just how light it is. 79

@rursus83544 years ago My top 10 list is:
1. Helium - the only noble gas that has only two electrons in its outermost layer, it is suprafluid at low temperatures, it 2. Hydrogen - the only alkali non-metal,
3. Boron - it is the only 5-coovalent element, extremely hard to purify,
4. Carbon - very easily forms polymer chains, also has a form diamond that is one of the hardest materials known, but that burns at low temperatures,
5. Platinum - one of the few metals partaking as a negative ion in a salt (cspt) also a very catalytic metal,
6. Xenon - a noble gas with a vast chemistry,
7. Mercury - the metal with relativistic speeds on the innermost electrons, making it fluid at low temperatures, disolves lots of other metals,
8. Fluorine - the mostelement, puts almost everything on fire except steel,
9. Caesium - the mostelement, even forces gold and platinum to get extra electrons,
10. Gold - one of the few metals partaking as a negative ion in a salt (csau). ...Expand 116

@rapalo894 years ago Did you hold beryllium with your bare hand? Edgy! 19

@superbeastinjections4 years ago I love your videos. I have a very basic knowledge of chem. But i find your presentations oddly satisfying. 1

@ullie894 years ago Your pronunciation of jewellery is mind bogglingly hilarious. 7
@

@ag135i4 years ago Yes sir this video is very useful, after watching this video i think there should be a lab in schools where every element from the periodic table should be displayed to be seen in it' s pure natural form. 4

@Chrispy-sx4un4 years ago Thank you for ask your videos. I really enjoy them and learn allot. 1

@fredbach60394 years ago Good work on this one. I learned things about beryllium i didn' t know. The other ones i knew about. What was that yellow material when you were talking about carbon? 2

@Aeroman663 years ago One of your best videos ever! Keep doing the great work!

@2.7petabytes4 years ago I always look forward to your videos! Fantastic work! 1
@

@John-kc7ko4 years ago Ha! I got to agree with your conclusion of carbon. That was a nice twist. Anthropic principle aside, here we are not debating the issue with arsenic based lifeforms. 2

@Terrus_384 years ago Last time when i was so early, mariewatched glowing radium with pierre curie. 27

@mahdikarimian68624 years ago Thanks for your videos. They are interesting. If you use a spectrumeter during the reaction, that is so helpful and the viewer can see more details about the reaction. Thanks again.

@cameronwhitaker35093 years ago Awesome video! I especially love the random cat part at the end!

@PYRO-ON4 years ago Love ur body of work, educating the masses about alchemys many wonders. You seem like one of those guys (like myself) who has been saving his money id="hidden11" since childhood to expand his home library with every element and chemical he canis modern day magic. True magic. Theres a reason famous names in chemistry and physics have wizard like backgrounds!. ...Expand

@fizixx4 years ago Always great videos. I learn from you, thank you.

@PATRIK67KALLBACK4 years ago One cool application ofi to stain ultra thin tissue samples. It reacts with double bonds in fat and leavs residues of osmium. That is how cell organells can be image with electron microscope. 2

@marcosfreijeiro87634 years ago Excellent video. I think it was the right choice carbon for first place. 1

@chippysteve45244 years ago Great video but you forgot about c60fullerine' which was discovered more than 10 years ago, where the carbon atoms are arranged into nanospheres formed of pentagons surrounded bylike a football. ...Expand 1

@kexcz82763 years ago It always fascinates me when i think about all living things, plastics and then oil, graphene and diamond have the same element inside, but they are all different. 1

@ecar6224 years ago The video is extremely useful. Thank you. Now to the lab. 1
@

@steen2754 years ago Osmium would be such a great heat transfer for cpu' s since it transfers heat so fast. 1
@

@viddabroun86133 years ago At 7. 15 there is a beautifully twinned osmium crystal. It looks like 3 crystals with ends 60 degrees apart forming off a single central axis. Awesome.
@

@ehsnils3 years ago Some electronic devices contains beryllium and there' s often a warning on them too. And here' s the conductivity and ability to transfer heat a real advantage. The density isn' t a disadvantage either.
@

@baileyyard51164 years ago I have a question: at approx 1200 degrees, does nickle become harder than when at room temp?
@

@kennedy679514 years ago I like your video' s, very much. I hope you can keep doing these mini doc' s.
@

@aaronfaucett64424 years ago Fun fact: beryllium is used in x-ray tubes to increase contrast for small objects that wouldn' t normally be radiographed.
@

@wafikiri76763 years ago Indeed, beryllium, if not totally absent from steel in jet engine motors, causes them to break.

@jrersinghaus4 years ago So you have changed your mind? " thorium, the metal that no one needs" i believe was in the thumbnail. 1

@BlackPawn144 years ago Very underrated #1 choice. Carbon' s chemistry is so incredibly unique and diverse, that a whole body of knowledge (known as organic chemistry) has also, it' s the main building block for all life as we know it, which is pretty hard to top, on its own. ...Expand

@darkreaper3004 years ago Osmium is also has the highest compression strength of an element it' s compressive strength even exceeds diamonds from what i' ve read on the element.

@joelperillotempra93242 years ago If im not wrong the rhenium diboride is the hardest synthetic metal that can glitch a diamond.

@darylcheshire16182 years ago I read about a bicycle frame made of beryllium, it cannot be extruded like aluminium, the tubes of the frame were sheets rolled into tubes and welded together. it was ridiculously light and did not corrode but is toxic.
can you imagine a poisonous bicycle. ...Expand
