Chlorine - Periodic Table of Videos

[BrettBloomfield1]

im gonna try this in my bed room tonight

[undefinate]

English people spell words differently that's why they say certain things a tad differently.

[rdekraker]

Why are you heating up the reacting material? is that required to overcome the reaction's activation energy level? and if yes for both materials?

[ardeppai]

I laugh at everyone raging/educating zeppfan of his ignorance of the wold outside of the United States of America XD

[peshozmiata]

They should've done one more with sodium...

[CommanderdMtllca]

@basherofnoggins it really is spelt "Aluminum" in america and pronounced as such. Different countries, different dialects

[poofnsauce]

@CommanderdMtllca about 5 years ago the IUPAC decided that America would use Aluminium as the element name.

[elflordbob1]

you can eat chlorine...*pause*

have a snack

*play* im mean chloride

*fall to the floor*

[MrSuednym]

Is aluminum tri-chloride also toxic?

[98JMA]

Dare I point out to Pete that chlorine is an element, not a compound. . .

[StephenFiorentini]

I find all your videos very entertaining and interesting. I think this one, and the ones on helium and potassium are my favourites.

[siddharthas6895]

@StephenFiorentini Try the fourteen metal medal video...or the flame colouration video or the chemical garden video...I love metals...so...all these videos are my favourite!

[juanarruti]

a- loo- mi -neum

[ChuckNorr13579]

@juanarruti No he is saying it right he is English(UK) so he says aluminium

[philippfuelb]

I learn more in 5 minutes of your your videos than I do in a whole chemistry class.

[Toerme]

@philippfuelb Agree, all I know about chemistry I've learned at home from the internet and this channel..

[SSJkiller]

@philippfuelb

I know right? I'd give my left nut to have Poliakoff as my chem professor.

[wazscience]

press 3 repeatedly for drowns

[quexalcoatl]

If you guys ever do a follow up you should characterize Cl's role in disinfection and potable water production.

[jzlACoSTE]

It's Aluminum Chloride, not Aluminum Trichloride ><

[quexalcoatl]

@jzlACoSTE It's tri-chloride Mister IUAPAC. :)

[jzlACoSTE]

@quexalcoatl lol, why not just settle at both?

[quexalcoatl]

@jzlACoSTE True enuf XD

[jzlACoSTE]

@quexalcoatl :DD

[mcwario13]

MgCl?

[menkopi]

Is it just me? Or do alot of scientists' have problems with their wives? :o

[RazorsEdge9K]

@InsaneBurrito45 We say it the right way :)

[iNFamousAAC]

@InsaneBurrito45 We spell it differently.

[luclachoix]

It would be really lovely to see table salt made in this video thus demonstration how the poisonous chlorine is turned into a necessity of life.

[terdfergeson23]

but will it blend?

[terdfergeson23]

but will it blend?

[sasukekitlover206]

is there any way to, if i wanted to use this vid in a project, to cut out where the old man talks?

[KingsBlend1]

@sasukekitlover206 Well sure, but then it wouldn't be worth watching! Show the professor some respect! :)

[emadrio]

If you put activated carbon in there, will you get teflon?

[spotlightman1234]

@emadrio No.

[LamaPaj]

@emadrio No, because teflon is basically an alkane with all the hydrogen replaced with flourine.

[MrRapidPotato]

what about Chloric(I) acid?

[douro20]

I wonder if the oxide of chlorine (chlorine dioxide) would had been a more effective weapon.

[japanesepoptart]

@douro20

I wouldn't think so. Chlorine dioxide is unstable, and it explosively decomposes into oxygen and chlorine in air.

[antony1103]

16 people don't know how to pronounce aluminum

[bbawor]

Really useful, thanks:)

[cassiavc]

i'm intoxicated with chlorine....my lungs hurt too much! oh my god

[b1912313]

I have mixed aqueos amonia with c3cl3n3o3, a lot of fume were produced, and a very explosive white solution was left behind. What have happened?

[jwillisbarrie]

I like this series and the fact it is closed captioned for the Deaf is appreciated. I am reading a book that might be of interest to you all "The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements" by Sam Kean ISBN-13: 978-0316051644 (US) and ISBN-13: 978-0857520265 (UK?)

[SuperTechieJ]

Stig!!

[lexichronicle2]

Wish I had one of those babies for my sulphur dichloride experiment. The generators are a major pain in the ass. £100 odd for the lecture bottle though. I can make the same amount in generator for a few pounds. That's expensive convenience.

[xshoreLS1]

curious, where's your fume cupboard vented to?

[lexichronicle2]

@xshoreLS1 it'll almost certainly be going out to the roof. recirculating fume hoods need specific filters for specific gases, the filters wear down and not using the appropriate filter will mean it turfs things back into the room, like monoxide.

[nowhereusa]

@xshoreLS1 thats a good question i always wondered what they did with the "fumes" they produce..

[captwasabi]

@nowhereusa They use a fume hood which is a specialized piece of equipment to draw in air which traps the fumes they create during their experiments. Fume hoods exist in two forms; ducted or recirculatory. Ducted will simply vent the fumes outside the building while the recirculatory will actually scrub the air and recycle the safe air back into the room.

[xshoreLS1]

someone doing a water analysis on bottled water? heh

[tdog158]

What is aliminium?

[TheJMontoya83]

lmao i thought he said "it is a Koreanish yellow gas

[Archerxx1]

when Cl reacts with Fe, it doesnt make FeCl3? or FeCl like prof said?

[taeke18]

@Archerxx1 well it with Fe it can become FeCl3 of FeCl2 iron has 2 options of accepting other atoms, it can have a 2+ or 3+ load.

[rifleman1002]

@Archerxx1 Aluminum and Iron are not in the same group or column.

[louforiginator]

@wookidoo

true, but UV-initiated chlorine radicals are used quite a bit in many, many, reactions

[theyolkwebshow]

mistake at 6:53, you can't oxidise aluminum in chlorine. you need oxygen.

[ChumpusRex]

@theyolkwebshow It is correct. You don't need oxygen to oxidise. Oxidation means removal of electrons. In this case, the Fe loses electrons to become either Fe2+ or Fe3+ (and therefore it is oxidised).

Similarly, chlorine is an oxidising agent because it will strip electrons off other substances very easily.

[xshoreLS1]

@ChumpusRex is there something that would strip electrons off chlorine?

[ChumpusRex]

@xshoreLS1 Yes. Oxygen and fluorine can remove electrons from chlorine. For example, regular bleach (and pool 'chlorine') is sodium chlorate (I). Chlorate (i) is a compound of oxygen and chlorine; when atoms bond, they share electrons between them, but the oxygen completely hogs the shared electrons, so, it has essentially pulled an electron off the chlorine. Chlorate (I) is a oxidising agent, but surprisingly, not as powerful as chlorine.

[zeppfan9]

its a-lu-mi-num, not a-lu-mi-ni-um

[pagani8]

@zeppfan9 Your stupid, aluminium is the way they say it in the UK.

[zeppfan9]

@pagani8 they say it wrong... obviously they need to change the way they say it. it is straight up wrong. aluminum is how its spelled. therefore say it how its spelled... you cant just go adding "i"s in willy nilly wherever you want. it is annoying to hear it said wrong.

[pagani8]

@zeppfan9 Umm... that's how they spell it there as well, aluminium. If they happened to spell it aluminum and we spelled it aluminium then which one would be right? Its totally arbitrary.

[basherofnoggins]

@zeppfan9 Dude, It's spelt Aluminium. It's spelt that way everywhere, and if you spell it differently you're spelling it wrong

[punksrule4life]

@pagani8 That is correct, but also it's "you're" not "your"

[ChuckNorr13579]

@zeppfan9 Notice you speak the language ENGLISH not AMERICAN. America just changes it so you took out an "i"

[MrKingJay99]

@zeppfan9 aluminum is the american only pronunciation.

but i'm american and i live in america and i say aluminium because the rest of the english speaking world says it.

[zeppfan9]

its a-lu-mi-num, not a-lu-mi-ni-um

[punksrule4life]

@zeppfan9 That's the American way of spelling and pronouncing it. In the UK it's aluminium and the Nowegians write/say aluminium as well. It's like "colour/color", ""theatre/theater", "honor/honour", "neighbour/neighbor", "lustre/luster" and "licence/license", but these are pronounced the same way. "Aeroplane/airplane", "moustache/mustache" and "speciality/specialty" are some examples similar to "aluminium/aluminum"

[wookidoo]

These people are a bit sloppy when it comes to using proper terms, calling elements compounds. It's at 0:56

[cuntylishus]

@wookidoo It's unscripted, you cunt.

[bananaphone65]

Anobody else love the way english people say aluminum?

[Yukutren]

@bananaphone65 Their pronunciation is right

[crazyfun5]

@bananaphone65  NO its annoying as hell

[DracoTheBlack]

@bananaphone65 He's not saying aluminum. Hes saying Aluminium because that's what he's talking about, the element, Aluminium...

[Trillios]

@DracoTheBlack he knows that

[laharl69cirno]

@DracoTheBlack ohhh England...

[MrSteveenn]

@DracoTheBlack aluminum = aluminium, its the same the...

[ChuckNorr13579]

@bananaphone65 America only say aluminum other places say aluminium

[petra678]

'It will move heaven and earth to get that electron', thats a fair representation ;)

[SCE2AUX]

I've heard that Chlorine trifluoride (CIF3) is a whole lot of fun. Chlorine is nasty nasty stuff.

[bulby130]

chlorine+?=chloride

[geocyclist]

@bulby130 Chlorine + electron = cloride

[geocyclist]

@bulby130 Chlorine + electron = chloride

[TheDexta007]

@bulby130 Chloride is the ionic state of chlorine, elemental chlorine= Cl ionic= Cl2 (Covalent molecule)

[wookidoo]

@TheDexta007 I'm sorry to say, but that's terribly wrong. Elemental chlorine is Cl2, and the chloride ion is Cl−. Cl is simply the chemical symbol for chlorine, and there's no real use for free chlorine atoms.

[TheDexta007]

@wookidoo Lol sorry i got my elemental and ionic the wrong way round.

[M9IN0G]

@periodicvideos did he really call Neil "The Stig"?! :D

[ronaldinhoca]

does proff. suffering from parkinson disease?

[FirstServingman]

7:34 why has he left the blowtorch running?

[annettesalsman]

Why haven't you made salt?!

[crazygirl2733]

I had a friend who was putting chlorine in a pool and accidentally inhaled some. She had to go to the emergency room a day after that.

[LAXbeast702]

I need to find out how much chlorine is used worldwide a year=. Someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!

[Valce]

Chlorine is selfish... moving Heaven and Earth for that electron!

[Streety101101]

15 ppl something something

[GReatMaker96]

from 5,08 you can see a very cute scalpture hahaha

[sabati3]

Lol.. Swimming water. And thats to eliminate other harmful things that get in your pool. But it's an extremely low amount, but thats one reason why you always shower after swimming if that makes sense.

[JacobCamarillo]

why is this in our water?

[Infloresence]

@InsaneBurrito45 it's the officially recognised pronunciation, the american 'aluminum' is incorrect.

[NagaJolokiafied]

drowning in your own fluid sounds like an awful way to die :(

[noahboa9258]

ahluhmihnume

[chingstahpowah123]

why isnt the wire gone?

[BigTex541]

@chingstahpowah123 Not all metals, like lead, are reactive with Chlorine. Also it could already be a Chlorine alloy.

[Ormaaj]

Increase the intensity of more videos!

[iToasterman]

Thumbs up if u wan't to see steel vs chlorine!

[MrTechGuy1995]

You have got to love Chlorine! It is so festive on the 25 of December! Love the Green is haze!

Brady you sure seem very nervous around chlorine! I mean Sure it is dangerous but in the wrong hands, and you hands are far from it. I love chlorine!

[KsAnNa]

My Chemistry teacher in year ten made Chlorine gas. Then he gave us a history lesson too.

[tacoyum6]

I have learned more watching your videos, than my entire 8th grade year of Chemistry so far.

[Khaied345]

I'm confused, there's chlorine in my tap water...

[dd4dash]

@Khaied345 yes, but its just enough to keep any algae from forming in your pipes

[dd4dash]

@Khaied345 but its the cloride, when it has its 8 electrons, like the professor said around 8:04

[djbro16]

Ala moon ium?

[Skajizzle]

@djbro16 its in england what do u expect? :3

[shidoink]

i like the orange smoke. pretty and predictable

[lk0056]

15 people had chlorine poisoning

[1337dot31337]

@lk0056 No, just no. I'm sick of seeing "x people something something", it's not funny, it's not original and it ruins every single video I see it on; Luckily enough I'm too interested in these videos for simpleton comments that follow the bandwagons to ruin these.

[Nyphur]

@1337dot31337 Don't worry, the highest rated comments in practically every periodic video are about the professor's awesome hair :D

[jjovereats]

@1337dot31337 That is, 15 people just do not like this video.

[zythepsarian]

@1337dot31337 i can has cheezburgar?

[tdog158]

@1337dot31337 15 people eat kittens

[myytid]

the wire u used to put aluminium and iron into it, it must be noble metal, as it didnt react with chlorine

[perazaroberto2]

thankyu

[lemorpion1]

yeah right! she shot herself because he was screwing the world.

[kitkitmeow24]

i thought chlorine was used in cleaning

[bnnyyan]

ale-min-yum. lol love it.

[analogWeapon]

keep commenting about the guy's hair. i think we're getting somewhere with that...

[TosXMellow]

i have a question: can water dissovle anything in time? i think so it can. but i'm not sure.

[DeanMalenko]

@TosXMellow no

[avitaliness]

@TosXMellow no. polar compounds can only dissolve polar compound and non polar can only dissolve non polar compounds. water is polar therefore it will ONLY dissovle polar compounds (NaCl etc...) oil which is a non polar compound will never dissolve in water

[TosXMellow]

@avitaliness :D your right we should just nuke all our garbage. X)

[scorpion779946]

i kind of think neil deserves a bit more respect, GET HIM TO SPEAK. just an idea.

[Onlyabreathaway]

So with all the combos of bromine, fluorine, & chlorine being polluted out in our air, water & food & the intense heat of the sun, doesn't that make us sick quickly?

[ultrachemist13]

ur cool!!!

[ultrachemist13]

ur cool!!

[stan021]

Which chlorine compounds that are used in a household can be dangerous for humans??

[1993gandy]

the stig on top gear is made of chlorine

[bigvuch]

@1993gandy some say...

[spotlightman1234]

Neil is so fucking awesome :D

[Jenderbender77]

6:34 - Neil! You're not supposed to be chewing gum in the lab!

[gaussman08]

who are the 15 fuckers that doesn't like this video

[jimday666]

@gaussman08 probably who doesn't understand chemistry

[EPICGUYDUDE]

where is the AlCl3 in the flask? the smoke?

[MrCoolman183]

aluminum not aloohmenum! lol

[spotlightman1234]

@MrCoolman183 well IUPAC says it's Alumnium so if you dont want to piss them off you'll say aluminium

[wawabunny]

@spotlightman1234

LOL

haha

true, true

[ThatKidKnows]

@flowtail haha :p

[GUTS4887GUTS]

i feel like sniffing Chlorine

[robotwarsfan03]

0:56 - there's a mistake there, a chlorine molecule is still an element, not a compund like you referred it as

just trying to help :D

[jdragon1012]

why doesnt the clorine react with the glass vial?

[puncheex]

@jdragon1012: Silicon dioxide (glass) is very stable, which is another way of saying inert. The silicon and oxygen atoms cannot be torn apart by chlorine. Fluorine, the next step upwards (more energetic) from chlorine in the periodic table does indeed attack glass. To contain fluorine stainless steel or some extremely stable plastics have to be used.

[cerealguy500]

How much does it cost to get a bunsen burner?

[SupportShotgun]

can you get Chlorine atoms that aren't in a compound

[ButterflyNM14]

chlorine isn't a compound, its an element

[puncheex]

@SupportShotgun: Not usually in free air. The chlorine will react with any water available in the air to create hydrochloric acid. If the air is completely dry, it will sit as it does in the flasks.

[Brookskyar]

0:57 it is a element, not a compound

[Eagles0818]

@Brookskyar

Chlorine is a diatomic element,which makes it a compound.

[Brookskyar]

tat makes it a molecule, compound is made by different atoms of different elements joined chemically. in this case, there is only chlorine atoms, it is a molecule

[SabataZX101]

@Brookskyar: Yep you're right, Chlorine is amongst one of 7 diatomic elements like it, which are: Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Hydrogen , Oxygen, Fluorine, and of course Chlorine.

[kindofmagicmike]

@SabataZX101

I Bring Clay For Our New House

[SabataZX101]

@kindofmagicmike

I'm sorry, I fail to understand.

[kindofmagicmike]

@SabataZX101

you use it to remember the 7 diatomic elements,

I, Br, Cl, F, O, N, H

[SabataZX101]

Personally, i use BrINClHOF, but who knows how to spell that lol.

[hkparker]

you could say its a molecule because its diatomic

[douro20]

Chlorine is more dangerous than bromine simply because its vapor is lighter, but bromine is far more reactive.

[StatusSword]

@douro20 Bromine is less reactive than chlorine* chlorine has a higher electronegativity and the halogens become less reactive as you go down the column.

[Frresh123]

the halogens are so cool!

[Masalmeh321]

@Frresh123 I agree.

But they stink! :D
