Tellurium - Periodic Table of Videos

[AudioJustG]

But is there an element that would make your sweat smell good? Or at least less stinky? :D

Tellurium and selenium are getting quite importance in solar technology as CdTe, CdSe and PbSe and it organotellurim chemistry is expanding because this rare element has some tricks in self-assembling polymeric structures and it's believed that both element's compounds have lots of properties unrevealed.

By the way, I think that a video about solar technologies would be really interesting since Martyn's green chemistry research (although he actualy works with super critical fluids).

hay,uh,I just wanted to throw this out there,but has anyone watching this video read the book "The Elements" by Theodore Gray, its actually a very good book.

[HYEYBT]

@tahu2247 Lol, my favorite part is when he talks about how arsenic in wallpaper led to the old wives' tale that damp weather is unhealthy.

The shaking hands...

[Aviatorsmith]

@tommy200401 It's from handling too much mercury.

[xato909]

prank element :D

[tialtnga]

Good video - thanks guys. Not something I would want to handle either, especially the powdered form!

[yellowdart137]

hmmm trace amounts in shampoo you say.  good idea.

[tacobacon117]

i like how your tie shows the periodic table : )

[ijunkie]

Dimethyl telluride. Yummmm

[zbret]

Tellurium is also used in large volume in First Solar's thin film solar cells.

[Claro1993]

Give it to your worst enemy+let him touch it=REVENGE!

[hokalol]

1. Put it on a cookie

2.Give it to some one you hate

3.???????

4. Profit

[alitavakoliwww]

@hokalol OR I CAN GIVE IT TO MY TEACHER SO HE/SHE BE TOO IMBERESD TO COME TO SCHOOL HOPE FUILLY

[precocioustoic]

GET THOSE SUBTITLES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE VIDEO!!

[Fleshcut]

@precocioustoic If you mean the commercial stuff just hit the X in the top right corner...if you mean the subtitles just click on the cc Button next to the 480p stuff...

[BGood156]

@precocioustoic Just press the close caption button again.

[CarnalDiafragma]

Wow H2Te must smell aweful. I read it loses a proton at -2 degrees celsius. Are there stable salts with the HTe- anion?

[EPICGUYDUDE]

hey guys! if you read on wikipedia, it says tellurium is the lightest element to be able to alpha decay. BUT beryllium-8 can alpha decay too.

[EdwardianGangster]

So what you're saying is... best stink bomb ever

[BuickDoc]

I once did an oxidation in the lab with SeO2. I smelled like rotten garlic for about 3 weeks.

[darkninjagz1]

i need this for a project lol

[Teufel916]

Is it possible to alloy Tellurium with Lithium and what would you get if you did?

[justonium]

Tellurium is also widely used in the semiconductor industry for peltier cooling.

[CorpseGrinderify]

I needed this info 4 a project at school, i didnt know youtube would help thank god 4 youtube :P

[douro20]

He could have a slight case of sensory tremens; it's quite common in elderly men.

[ButterflyNM14]

ummmmmmmm

[Rioxka]

Tellurium makes you smell like bad garlic :)

[Draxis32]

If you ingest selenium and then sweat and "people get off the bus", as The Professor sat, then people that work with Telurium would certainly make the bus STOP instantly.

[Airsofter1995]

You just copied one of the sayings of smelly elements..

[Draxis32]

I've made a joke you moron.

[SuperDuperMan180]

the first guy sounded a bit like salad fingers...

[polonium9]

how old are the samples these guys use

[Thedrizzle404]

kool vids guys.

[heruursciences]

The gizmo you were holding is a cadmium telluride crystal; Cd:Te for harmonic generation and parametric generation of mid IR light. If it isn't kept very cold it will fry as you shown.

Lead telluride Pb:Te is the most common tellurium compound used today, it is use to make diodes that pump heat from one side to the other. These are called peltier junctions or thermoelectric colling modules.
