Boron - Periodic Table of Videos

[jhunkubabu]

Respected madam (the who loves boron), I am a high-school student who is interested in boron just like you. I have a query regarding boranes. How can hydrogen hold two boron atoms at once? I asked my chemistry teacher about it and i am absolute confused. I hope you can help with the three-center two-electron bond concept in detail. Thank You (Love Periodic table of videos)

[TheCraich]

Nobody doesn't like molten boron.

[MovieTech]

Deborah Kays even makes safety goggles sexy. ;)

[triforcebaris]

I thought Persil was named Persil after the french for parsley - persil, because parsley was used as a freshener for clothes in the olden days?

[aurangzib]

i love intelligent women like this. If she would of put some make up and boob job id tap that

[mrssjpwnr1]

BEHOLD THE ELEMENT WITH THE MOST BORING NAME IN THE ENTIRE FREAKING UNIVERSE!!!

[VictorVonFox]

"Russian scientists believe boron may be highly toxic as nearly all those who helped cover the Chernobyl reactor core with it have since died"

[AdamCronoz16]

ok, information overload

[jozinzbazin1991]

I realy like this girl shes preety :D

[ClickjamHD]

yay the scan thingy worked

[RonaldBlair]

BORAXO



[Alubrab]

For long did you have that pack of Persil in your Office ?

[KaslarProductions]

When pentaborane reacts with the air it becomes an "Oxy Boron" ;D

[Edd360]

this video is BORON, a he he he oh god

[ThePizzahero1]

lol awesome fart :D

[bugoyoji23]

I love MORON! haha

[pooppeeyoupants]

@bugoyoji23 DONT CALL IT MORON. Boron nitrade is 'harder' than diamond. Without boron your clothes will turn dirty and your house will be invaded by bugs!

[bugoyoji23]

@pooppeeyoupants hey be cool! i dont take it seriously.... its just a joke! :) i also acknowledge its use because without boron, the nuclear reactors wont have control rods that adjusts the enormous power and shuts down the reactor.... did you hear the fart? ahahaha

[Aviatorsmith]

@pooppeeyoupants There is no such thing as boron nitrade.

[douro20]

@Aviatorsmith

There is boron nitride- it's used in grinding wheels for making precision tooling.

[Aviatorsmith]

@douro20 Yes. I was correcting him in saying boron nitrade.

[chathuriu]

Oh man. I've just spend the last 6 years of my life studying boron and designing new stable borane carriers for the purpose of more efficient hydroboration. These compounds are so air/moisture sensitive and difficult to handle its crazy.......especially when monitoring the kinetics of the hydroboration reactions. I actually get anxious when I see other chemists pippetting reactants......I think purge/flush/oven dried/syringe&needles/Parafilm­/Seal Seal Seal/Septa.....

[MrPatross]

boron? more like boring!

[pooppeeyoupants]

@MrPatross If i had a choise to call it, ill call it exitium, but i am prety annoyed by the name. Stop calling it boring.

[moveaxebx]

"aaaaaah" XD

[FrozenHaxor2]

epic fart

[NeutrinoLepton]

There is town in Serbia called Bor (serbian for boron) near one of the largest copper mines in Europe.

[miyazaki999]

Just posted "The Boron Song" (aka "The Boron Rap") with lyrics. Have fun!!!

[Metals999]

Love the safety specs honey !

[SupremeCommander360]

Boron is hard, so i my cock.

[bharathi8018]

I love tat green flame 

[middenrat]

mules.... poot!

this element was hijacked by methane

[lorien665]

Hooray thanks for this video... I am a Boron :P

[onthecuttingedge2005]

your brain gives me a totally huge hard on.

[nybotheveg]

we need to take a couple of tons of this and make a HUGE green bonfire :D

[aerisismine]

Boron more like SNOREon am I right?

[Khalastas]

Keep playing it from 1:42

[Spectrumfingerboards]

"And the company that Ummm" *toot toot toot " Produced it"

[valdezmiguel2]

borine? I hardly know her!

[laughomaniac]

"Really, really hardddd"

[Khaied345]

This Video was posted a day after my 10th birthday

[GRAHAMAUS]

@Khaied345 In other words, it's of no significance whatsoever.

[TylerTheThirdTrumpet]

Boron... JUST SAY IT. Boron. Boron. Don't deny that'd make a epic name for a boy.

[raphael2110]

was that a 'percils' placement?

[perazaroberto2]

the americans scool are trash .(basuira ) un robo es la educacion en america por los paranoicos que estann dentro del gobierno 

[raghupatino1]

Excellent description of boron which we cant find in books all together.

[scorpion779946]

she pretty much says boron in every sentence.

[eltotoX]

Spelling mistake on the english subs: it says "pentaborate", should say "pentaborane".

[L0FTYleon]

If I coulf get that woman in a lab for an hour, I would spread my human element all over her.

[HumaninSeoul]

Did he crap himself aat 1:45? lol

[mynameisdarthtater]

Why does that guy keep a box of laundry detergent by his desk all the time?

[dondude69]

I think I made / refined boron when I was younger, I might still have it.

[BloodMired420]

overuse of the word "actually" in 3,2,1..

[KilgothMirna]

Hooray for group 13 elements!

[kobeSR1]

i Would like to thank you

i'm a boy from Belgium(the small county between France and Germany)

i'm 14 years old and i love boron and you made me love it

so really thanks a lot

maybe i will sned you guys a letter in the future

thanks a lot and keep up the good work :D

[jeebersjumpincryst]

i could just watch Debbie make toast.... thanks for another great vid!!!!

[TheVeryConfused]

*yawn* borong, next!

[EdwardJellico]

To all the people making fun of this woman for being passionate about chemistry: what are you interested in? Celebrities or pop culture or some other nonsense? Why don't you tell us so we can make fun of you?

[ndyt]

this video is boron XD

[glenwoofit]

Boron video, Great. Farting on camera, Priceless...

[navaraute]

Love Debbie.

[janver1220]

she is so hot

[chinesepinguin]

you can hear the awesome haired man fart 1:45

[dwerg2k]

Wow, you're actually right xD

He even lifts his ass and gets a bit distracted xD

[spotlightman1234]

LOL : D

[Synthesisofelements]

@chinesepinguin haha lol

[donperry1]

@chinesepinguin LMAOOOOO

[chavjones]

@chinesepinguin funny... reminiscent of the oldschool disney hidden messages :)... nice find.

[energyexecs]

I had a position selling raw material and boron and its borates were our main product. I enjoyed that job. We sold boron based products as sodium borates and calcium borates.

[libtechsk8er]

I think I'm going to try to buy a bunch of boron to resell.

[isop9021]

just grabs a box of persil from behind his desk lol

[Beatzrulz]

boron is one of the element in plant growth... too much boron is toxic...and boron is detemined in grapes using a method called Spectrophotometric method....

[andyroo24601]

Nobody doesn't like molten Boron!

[TheUndert0ker]

she really does love boron!

[tubbyhunter101]

i thought boron could only be found on the moon and asteroids?

[BowlingFreak218]

lol its part of the air we breath

[coirchlid]

Maybe I missed it but I didn't hear them mention that Boron is one of the 16 elements needed for plant growth.

[mendelbot]

This is booooron. ( yea yea, stupid comment. Funnier than philosophy jokes though.)

[douro20]

Triethylborane is a pyrophoric liquid; it was used in as a chemical ignition agent in the J-58 engine in the SR-71.

[andrijja92]

Boron is also used in control rods in nuclear reactors, since it is a good neutron absorber.

[shenstone]

...anyone ever tried deep fried boron?....hmmmmm lovely..... Im gonna grow my hair like the professor...really funky

[HeroinMethod]

The boron girl looks a bit moron qq...

[MrMimaliciousDelic]

i neeeds to buys a bunsen burner naow *drool

[tommy2ter]

haha does the prof.s hair get puffier in every video?

[culwin]

Does he always keep a box of Persil behind his desk?

[Subjugate]

I read this before I watched it, and I had a laugh the minute he brought it up.

[dipteraTradeMark]

yes, yes, yes is hard to not flatter; this gesticulation is helping to see much, much more

[SuperFinGuy]

lmao Good stuff. These videos make me smarter but who keeps a box of persil under the desk? xD

[TheOptickid]

" I love boron!"

" the black crystalline boron is actually very very hard"

"just below diamonds on most scales of hardness" :P

That is pretty hard...

[ScottaneseGirl]

Ahaha...

"I love boron far too much...I talk about it too much"

You minx you

[TheOptickid]

LOL she's a cutie

[liquidoxygen0]

TheOptickid: Nice! And there I was thinking that Tungsten (aka: Wolfram) was a hard substance.

[chris536343]

It's Mohs scale of hardness :)

[soffitboy]

I Love Boron! and who doesn't. 

Dramatic reaction is an understatement.

Rather like anti-aircraft guns!!!

[activedentalfloss]

Mmm, after watching this video, I could just murder a bag of Boron.

[Nikolaii257]

It could be that you may need to stand some meters away from the burning flame colored with a boron salt. If you do this, then the retina will perceive this yellowish flame as green instead.

It's the same thing with strontium salts sometimes. If one stands too close to the burning strontium salt, then it could be perceived as orange instead of red. When I built fireworks, I have always kept this trivia in mind.

(We used boric acid as a fire retardant for our rocket engines.)

[amyleetwin18]

I LOOOOOOOVE Boron too thnx for the vid

[arachnipope]

Great hair ...but....watch out for the bunsen burner....could be quite spectacular !!!

[mendelbot]

Yea, imagine all the colors with the traces of innumerable exotic chemicals in his hair. :)

[SlimxGrim]

anybody kno how it Boron looks like?

this is great 4 skool!

[phikes]

"this is great 4 skool!"

Unfortunately it will do nothing for English or grammar. ;)

[SlimxGrim]

lmfao!!

the title helps u spell da correct spelling for Boron or Periodic table... lololz

[mewrox99]

is the gas BH3?

[chathuriu]

@mewrox99 BH3 normally exists as a dimeric gas B2H6. You can however split the dimer using an efficient Lewis base but then it not BH3 alone but BH3.Lewis base complex.

[mjrbronchaus]

atleast he can spell style you freak

[harry8175ritchie]

i think that guy has style. his own style, i think its awesome :D

[teisseire6969]

whats with that guys hair

he must have no idea about styke

[sciencoking]

boron is the lightest element i still need for my collection :D

[ProJanitor]

i'll give u something hard

[simba00784]

haha

[jedus1]

Intelligent women are so hot. DAMN!

[BackwardsT]

theres not too many of those

[Telepute]

@jedus1 I agree! I'm definately attracted to this lady.

[ijunkie]

@jedus1 drives me nuts too ;)

[TheRobster94]

@jedus1 Except when they're intelligent-er than u...

[SummerMail]

lol mad scientist

[Bimm3rcc]

1:14 really really hard

[bigkahunaburger55555]

She's got something else on her mind. ;P

[wekwafe]

why does he have a box of detergent in his desk??

[SymAmineC8H11N]

boron is in borax?

[jacobssandy]

yes I think Borax is sodium borate

[SymAmineC8H11N]

yep.

[Depthhider]

That company still uses the 20 mules for there logo

[PhatalPhury]

Boron? or Boring?

Zing! lol jk

[Wocfan]

You Moron !

[grooveclubhouse]

No its Boron! =)

[roendm]

she is a boron,...

[0prahTV]

Gotta love how the prof randomly pulls out a box of detergent from under his desk.

[safibn1]

Quote from my math class:

teacher: "You guys [refering to me and my friend] really are morons"

me: "we're not morons! we're Borons!"

everyone laughed with me and at me and it became a classic joke at my school. We now use elements to measure stupidity:

boron, then bismuth, and the worst of the worst, yittrium because it's useless.

~Safibn

[furiousharry]

what the hell are u telling us this

[borontheborelord]

yay! BORON!

[onelasssttime]

She loves Boron? Oh, goodness..

[raulitech]

There is a boron compound, Borazine I think that is actually harder than diamond.

[fartzberg]

academia, the tail wagging the tail, wasting their lives studying elemental data while ignoring the compounds which makeup the earth, the real content of the first inch of earhs surface, not even a subject of study, academia, a misguided waste of time and misdirection

[Ormaaj]

what? what does academia have to do with chemistry, and how is it that the real content of the earth is unrelated to elemental data?

[LaughNLove123]

hee(: this helped me with my chemistry project =D

& if anyone is so nice as to tell me what its used for in more....simple...terms?

thanks =D it would reaally be helping me out

with my work (:

[AlwaysReadTheLabel]

20,000+ views and so few ratings?

[saintaureus]

Probably viewed from the web site, which doesn't have a ratings bar.

[KitsuneCity]

They make boron sound reactive, but I always thought boron was relatively inert. Is it just boron compounds that are reactive, and not elemental boron?

[yuikicross]

it helped  me sooooooo much

[werinthis]

this ish muh element i have to adopt for class....!!!!!!!!!!!

[danbison]

Wow, who has a box of Persil just sitting under his desk????

[SaintofKillers66]

A CHEMIST THATS WHO

[chipfire]

Nerd Alert!!!! What a fascinating bunch. I learnt something.

[WhatdoIdoforauser]

Hmm... interesting, I never knew boron produced Green flames.. of course, I never got the chance to heat boron.. I have heated (while the teacher wasn't looking) Copper (II) Sulfate in a Bunsen Burner, which produced a rather fetching green color as well. Reminded me of Harry Potter...

[schemingeyebrows]

In Soviet Russia, Borax cleans YOU!

[JasoniumGH]

centigrade is the same as celcius rite?

[bennemann]

Technically yes, the Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water ( 0 degrees centigrade) to 100 degrees centigrade wich is the boiling point. Centi means "hundred" =P So if you say 30 degrees celsius or 30 degrees centigrade it's exactly the same temperature.

[kaisaris25]

it all depends where you are. I'm in Manitoba, Canada, and water boils at 100 degrees Celcius. But if you were in Calgary, it boils at a lower temperature.

[tomandjj]

no that's not right it depends on your altitude for instance on top of Mt Everest water is said to boil at under 30 degrees the Celsius system is based on waters freezing and boiling points at sea level. Although, I believe the entire world should adopt the kelvin system it's far more practical.

[KooKooCow]

i live in vancouver and it boils at 100 if your at sea level or even 1300 thousand feet above sea level it will still boill at 100 degrees

[energyexecs]

I worked in Boron international sales import/export from Turkey and South America for a small startup. I loved that job and Boron is Beautiful. Boron is next to Carbon in the Periodic Table and therefore full of energy, more than Carbon! but does not combine with hydrogen as easy as Carbon. Nice post.

[heartlikemetronomes]

Wow! These videos are so useful. Who would've known that Persil was called Persil for a reason!

[karinosai]

Huzzah for green fire.

[yhaqtera]

Nobody does it like molten Boron!

[SGplayer08]

Futurama owns. However, I think I like chemistry more...

[atomic7732]

In the new version talk about boron nitride!!!

[dagger86]

It's boron you morons!

LOL

[colesy606]

She makes it the best Boron video ever!

[BB1951]

Yes I remember the product was called 20 Mule Team Borax. Here. In the states, don't you know. Oh piffle.

[JeremyBechen]

Heh, I found 20 Mule Team Borax at Walmart recently, and had to stock up on about 50 pounds of it, because I was afraid it would become difficult to find. Not many stores carry it, nowadays, it seems.

[RJLeffmann]

There is some potential for hotness there.

[boazdisciple]

I assume you mean the bunsen burner?

[RJLeffmann]

Try picturing her without the protective glasses. I won't clarify more, as I think the video poster has done some message moderation here once already :-)

[ketamunke]

I agree. Her chem-nerdiness makes her turbo. I would love to move there for grad school and meet some hot Brit, nerd girls.

[mikeyidh]

Thats very interesting about the laundry detergent.
