Ununtrium - Periodic Table of Videos

[nickbhalo]

1 person thinks 13 is an unlucky number.

[MultiNerve]

The unun- series is all man-made, correct?

[ilvmusiclol]

@MultiNerve indeed it is, yes

[Aviatorsmith]

@MultiNerve Elements before that were also man-made. They are just named in that systematic order before names are given to them. Starting from neptunium, the elements are mostly man-made.

[omerta410]

this video remind me a scientist who he said one time that Einstein had 100 mad ideas and only two off them were correct but this change all the science

[hikarushikari]

great!

[hikarushikari]

Ununtrium is temperamental IUPAC name of element 113, but there are two candidate names, both derived from the same institute, Japonium named after Japan the country; and the other Rikenium named after the Riken institute in Japan.

[rtpoe]

@hikarushikari This element should be named Daltonium (symbol Dl) after John Dalton (1766-1844), the chemist who came up with the first comprehensive atomic theory, which included separate symbols for atoms of each element. Then Element 114 can be named Berzelium (symbol Bz) after Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779-1848) who refined Daltons' theory, identified four new elements, and came up with the idea of using letters as abbreviations for the elements.

YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! And i do have a chemistry degree by the way! The one good thing about this video is that it warns people not to go and study the subject at nottingham unless they want to be bored to death!

[XTheFadedLineX]

@strange6 The total viewcount of all his videos say otherwise.

[quadsnipable]

i like ur hair

[xnumba1ladiix]

Love these video's,

whys the subtitles in portuguese? :)

[mathbrmath]

@xnumba1ladiix

Because a good guy translated it to portuguese. You can take the subtitles off, but it helps a lot the people who speak portuguese like me xD

[uut0]

lol my name

[Blubber4444]

I like all these videos, whats the name of the man?

[myclockhasstopped]

Do these new elements have the same properties as other elements in the group they're in?

[Drag0nfoxx]

Possibly. I read somewhere that because they're so heavy, they might have strange properties (like Uuq, in the carbon group, maybe being a noble gas!).

They're too radioactive to tell.

[footballman847]

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[MAJIKVEGGIE]

I propose that the "new" system of naming atoms be replaced with a newer system of naming elements after Sci-Fi mediums, IE: Cyborgium, Millennium-Falcium, etc.

[DeltaPhi79]

Millennium-Falcium? Check with Corellian Engineering and Han Solo first. XD

[pedrotime]

whats up with the werid names for elements...most of them sound like candy...

[safibn1]

the elements that have very short half lives and have been synthetically created have been given un-creative scientific names, like some terms in biology.

the lower elements have been discovered earlier and there were many years to make up good names.

thats what I think.

[AssemblerGuy]

Before they decide which scientist or place to name a newly synthesized element after, they just name it after it's element number, using bits of greek words for the digits in the numer. It's like naming it "one-one-three-ium", because the digits in it's element number are one, one, and three -- they're just using greek rather than english.

This provides a name for any element, and everyone who knows the system will recognize it as an element name, and will be able to read out the element nbr.

[hottdog2007]

well, a lot of elements are named after the people that discovered them like curium (Marie Curie) and some after places such as polonium (Poland). some have latin roots like gold (Ar = Aurum) and Iron (Fe = Ferrum). most have their old names that have been around for centuries and come from latin. the new names are temporary until a suitable name is found. for example: ununtrium. if you know your root words then you know why it's called than. un=1, un=1, tri=3. the element's atomic number is 113

[MouYijian]

Hi, hottdog. Note that Ar stays for argon, while gold is represented by Au.

[hbunnyo]

I wouldn't eat them though =D.

[pedrotime]

lol good one

[grimreaper10000]

I've seen you other "unun-" videos, and I'm pretty sure the "unun-" is pronoucned "oon-oon" not with the short u.

[ketamunke]

This is great history. I love chemistry. I've been a complete fuckup for the past 25 years. But, now I found chemistry. I'm almost at my AA. All thanks to people like this who make science worthwhile. (Aside from the science itself)

[Cyberto]

great hair. great videos :D

[jekyllmcgee]

badass hair. great videos.
