A New Element - Periodic Table of Videos

[drwhofreakyfreak1000]

gallium

[shadders3]

wow apparently it was at the earth core is that true? that's what my dad said at least

[Quintinohthree]

@shadders3

Copernicium was found in a particle accelerator just like any other superheavy element. Scientists can't even get to the core of the earth, let alone get a sample back and find a trace of an unknown new element.

[shadders3]

@Quintinohthree oh yeah i didnt think of that i am only a kid lol

[michael19978004]

He looks like Albert Einstein

[tubestick00]

well the greeks need all the cheering up they can get right now. seeing as how fucked their economy is.

[Cz1385]

im greek hehe ...yes

[TomatoBreadOrgasm]

I couldn't agree more, Democritus was a badass and so was Max Planck.

Instead they went with Copernicus... Okay, whatever guys!

[tjohn1986]

What a great man to listen to

[ampeyro]

an stable super heavy element, that could be great

[macro312]

@ampeyro

A* stable super heavy element

[fuckjohnboy]

Ununbium (Uub)

[teleman07]

i have been watching all these videos for some time and i just realized, periodic table of videos sounds a bit odd. like in periodic table of elements; so videos = elements?

nvm im just a bit sleepless

[fuckjohnboy]

@teleman07 hehe

[vincereviews]

I think that there is an infinite number of atoms undiscoverednby humans...

[MrPablo257]

You must go too hair saloon XD

[MsAllahhuakhbar]

what about Mohamadian after prophet Mohamad!

[SlipKnotRicky]

He needs to go to a Culinary Arts School, his knife skills are scary!

[TheDeadlyDelilah]

@deppressed1 I've got a litle Staffy called Lady

[TheDeadlyDelilah]

@deppressed1 hehe - good one!

[Nipsofjustice]

Element 115 could be stable. There is a theory that could explain how superheavy elements could be stable at a certain point.

[9hello123]

@InsaneBurrito45 Oh i thought you meant everything with the same atomic number was the same, my mistake.

[9hello123]

@InsaneBurrito45 hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, U-235, U-238, e.t.c

[stevethul1]

LeZincumn would be a great name

[Fistinator1337]

@stevethul1 no

[NightFallBoys]

I think it should be name Nepton

[sanctus121]

The wierd thing is that no two elements have the same atomic number, or valence electrons...

[gaswerti]

when was ununoctium added to the periodic table since there is already a hypothetical element called ununennium?

[Hans293]

@lexichronicle2 I guess I'm a "hard line religious guy". I thought the confirmation of the existence of Copernicium was mildly interesting but not particularly surprising. I don't know why you would think we would have a stronger reaction.

[bmpwarrior158]

I've heard this element is very radioactive. Is it.

[CapPicard]

@bmpwarrior158 Yes, all elements 82 and above are radioactive to some extent.

Copernicium is very radioactive. Its half-life is about 30 seconds or so, whereas ununseptium's (#117) is just a few milliseconds.

Hmm... I would like 117 to be named planckium. That would be a bit hard to read. LOL... probably plancium.

[LTEK4NZ]

around five min.. nuclear fission has shown us that you can continue to divide after you reach the atomic level.

[bunk1001]

@LTEK4NZ Until you reach the Planck length. Anything smaller than that makes no physical sense.

[lexichronicle2]

can u imagine how this sounds to a hard line religious guy? "we've discovered a new element, it's like a big bubble that wobbles" :D I get it, you get it, they probably won't 'get it'.

[WaveofTwilight]

I like the idea of element 118 being called Democritium. It fits since we don't know of any other larger atom after 118 as in the same of Democritus' idea.

[Zendishwasher1]

how can it be an element if it is artifically created?

[Dazmaster75]

@Zendishwasher1 It's an element as the nuclei are fused together, not just bonded, which is what compounds are. These elements are difficult to make as in our atmosphere/geosphere etc, they cannot stay in that form for long.

[CapPicard]

@Zendishwasher1 There are quite a few elements that do not occur naturally. Elements above neptunium (# 93) are artificial. A few below neptunium are produced artificially (intentionally or as by-products of elemental decay).

Uranium is responsible for the production of many lighter elements as a result of decay (radon, radium, even lead). Many of those by-products are themselves radioactive.

There's one artificial element in common use (Americium in smoke detectors as the catalyst).

[AshiharaNakatsu12]

@Zendishwasher1 elemnts are either naturally made, untouched in the natural enviroment, or chemically made, if it is a new substance that cannot be broken made by chemicals.

[JPFanBoy2]

@Zendishwasher1 It didnt form a compound, but a new atom all together.

[Buzzlybonk]

Why not smash gold with gold and Goldenium!

[FlipYak]

@FlipYak than*

[Nguli34689]

THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED (1957) Horror movie was about E-112. There is a trailer about this movie on YouTube. Because of a thermonuclear test called CASTLE BRAVO, the yield was twice as predicted and the fallout cause problems for the Pacific Islanders, the US Personel, and Japan. As a result, monster movies such as GODZILLA, THEM!, Attack of the Crab Monsters, and The Night the Earth Exploded were some of the few. The firecracker industry came out with ATOMIC BRAND Firecrackers too.

[LORDLAGOS]

Pk Poliakovium

[ConnorXV]

Please tell us a story about Titin ( connectin )  Periodic people, don't forget to tell us its scientific name.

[NewElemenJerk]

CHET OUT THE NEW ELEMENT

[gangman5]

A liquid golden element sounds like something out of an alchemy book.

[Fabianmyniggas]

the worlds got to end soon.. WE've created a new element?!?! MAN, creating elements?!? its a scary future..

[gangman5]

well, it can go either way really. We could create new elements that are very useful in their propertys (like one that can easily with stand the rigors of space and make space flight a world easier) or we can go the hollywood way and create some super destrcutive element that can blast a whole continent off the face of the earth.

Call me when they make an element that reacts with air to form a burger....

[Borrisbeaner]

you have to remember that technically these elements already exist but they are not observed because either they are too unstable or are radiactive. so all the scientists are really doing is causing these elements to be formed and detected.

[reeceyboy111]

The official name is going to be Copernicium with the symbol Cn.

[sinnersavedbygrace7]

ok, I am a new chemist but let me get this straight. With particle accelerators, we can create any element out of any other element? In theory is it truly more complicated than that? Can you simply smash two hydrogen atoms together and get a helium atom or is there more to this than that? Again, all in the theory of it.

[fugehdehyou]

I visited ANSTO(Australian nuclear science and technology organisation)

Basically if you could make an atom the size of a golf ball (ie NaCl) the distance between the Na and the Cl would be like kilometers.

so what im trying to get at here is that the probability of collisions at such small sizes is low and ofcourse difficult.

Sorry my explanation seems shitty but its the best i cld come up wif :D

[dajwilkinson]

Two *deuterium* nuclei can be fused to helium but ordinary hydrogen must be fused to deuterium (plus a positron) first, so yes it is complicated!

"Any element" - higher elements have more neutrons per proton, so you want both of your nuclei as neutron-rich as possible. You further want an easy target to go with an easily accelerated beam, so you fire light nuclei at the heaviest you can get. Dubna are using Ca-48 and Bk-249 to search for element 117; suitable pairs are getting harder to find.

[vmelkon]

@sinnersavedbygrace7 Yes, it is that simple. For example deuterium + tritium = helium 4 + neutron. All atoms are made of the same stuff : protons, neutrons and electrons.

[GOAnimes]

Ununbium (Uub)

[xDlibbyxD]

wow i cant wait to find out the name!!!!

i wonder if its possible to make this at home... tehe probably not! :D

[XstiickX]

awesononium

hitleronium?

imagonnakickyourassonium!!

[Blongers1]

Element 112 - its this guys hair product

[dlacc187]

@Blongers1 lmfao!!!!

[cloudftw93]

@Blongers1 you leave martin alone :(

[subsystems]

@Blongers1 Element 112 isn't his hair product, it was his hair. It started golden and flowing and after radiating some hazardous particles it decayed into an unstable gray solid. I wouldn't kid him if I didn't like him.

[4jonah]

I understand 112 was created synthetically, but it it possible they exist briefly in star formations or in places in the universe outside of the laboratory? If not, why not?

[taduyducvn]

same question, is it posible to make a large chunk of it or exist in universe?

[mgold08]

It's possible. If two elements collide fast enough than similar elements can be created.

[l0rd0f0blivi0n]

elements are like tenneagers, they will take the easiest path, and this is an element that is hard to fuse.

these elements were chosen specifically so there would only be 3 possible paths, lead + lead = far too volitile and hard to fuse / lead + zinc = not so hard to fuse and observable or zinc + zinc, more common, more stable easier to fuse, so there is a 50-50 chance of getting the right fusion here, because energy requirements don't matter in a collider, both paths are equally easy

[misterflip20]

poliakoffium

im such a suck up

[voraphotsophanowong]

Element 112 = Copernicium

:D

[brainlicker1]

Plankium

[Drag0nfoxx]

Heisenbergium sounds good.

[coldfusion1111]

I cast my vote for: Plankium or Heisenbergium

[soulfirexz]

Plankium sounds like a winner to me.

where can i get the tie and his mug?

the're amazing

this man makes it easily explainable about chemastary i would have understud this when i was 8

[r0galik]

maybe  fucktardium

[alanna4858]

omg I laughed so hard at this i nearly choked on some cereal.

[GSRJosh33]

Lets talk about element 115!

[trfccurt07]

Ununpentium?

[GSRJosh33]

Welcome to the monoatomic age.

[SheepyMilk]

REALLY?! A new element? Wow, that's awesome.

[dearestkela]

His tie is so cute!

I wish I had a tie like that.

[NBCDateline]

What about "Ununbium"

I like it but it's the temporary name of the element

[alistaro]

i know i think they should keep it

[NBCDateline]

Yes, it's a good name ^,^

[CRAKIZGOOD]

how about hitlerinuion

[lilondra]

What about don'tbeabadnaziuion

[CRAKIZGOOD]

sounds too civil

stalinanium sounds good too

[seedot555]

how about darkaminuion

[ftart]

are all bohr rutherford diagrams round? or can they be squared? etc.

[Ramsez]

i've even seen some triangular ones :-p but usually round, which makes the most sense.

[SheepyMilk]

ftart: Yes, all Bohr Rutherford diagrams are round. Squared ones are Electron-dot diagrams.

And I was thinking, maybe they should combine the two discoverers of Zinc and Lead. Andreas Sigismund Marggraf; and the other one unknown. Get the last name of Andreas and either the words "unknown" or "ancient" in Greek. Just a thought. xD

[AdiNutzA09]

nice nice nice nice nice

[RuslanMasinjila]

How about AcceleratiumPlumbZincate.

[RuslanMasinjila]

LOL, he has a periodic table in his tie!!

[boldger13]

@RuslanMasinjila

He had a Periodic Table made on one of his hairs also for his birthday.

[drstanmartin]

Why don't you call it "Bollocksium"?

Dude!....you are not doing the image of modern science any favours with your afro and that tie.....I'm going to enrol you in 10 years younger.

[metalheadproduction]

Zealium?

Tomhankium?

Gammalium?

[wildwolf111]

I second kangsin.

[kangsin]

the bubble analogy near the end is genius

[Dasblackadler]

what about Newtonium?

[username2977]

Democrium, not democritusium for democritus. Also Thomsonium would be acceptible.

[amethyst8teen]

Teslium?

Nuclium?

Cathodium?

Cyclium?

Hadronium?

[GuppyPal]

Intelligentdesignisstupidium

[deathdealer0902]

galileum?

newtonium?

[HappyHag]

Paxmundium would be a good name for something so unstable

[louche1291]

I know that the chances of this are quite improbable, but I would love to see an element named after The Professor.

[SIRNUTSO]

thanks for sharing!

[Guinnie]

picture looks clearer...hmmm

[Brazilianairess]

The tie features Mendeleev? That makes it even more awesome than I had previously thought

[cheeseareme]

I think we could call it Polikoffium!

maybe it'll be like mercury; a metal thats a liqued at room temperature

[cheeseareme]

you have to use an LHC to make elements

[GomuGomuNoBaka]

Ooh, this is fun! How about:

Awesomeium. Explodium. Damnstraightium.

If you really wanna mess with them call it Hydrogenium.

[hollymoon21]

haha "Awesomeium" is a great name :)

[PixlPianta]

Or Awesium.

[pickandcheww]

nice hairdo

[diegoyotta]

nice tie

[SACboy987]

I read that they were thinking of emergencium as a possible name because the emergency number in Europe is 112, as oppose to our 911

[stmtrionfa]

he almost cutted his finger...

[CarnalDiafragma]

How this element should be called? How about Johnny, or Edward or some other usual name.

[laurence1211]

interesting......

[Wikkit]

I think that's the hair I'm going to have when I'm really old too.

[Digeridude]

Call it Millenium! Given that it's so close to the start of the 2000s.

[soylentgreenb]

How about modelling the shape of the nucleus and if it's superdeformed prolate, call it frankfurterium after the sausage.

[PixlPianta]

I think Vivium would be a completely awesome name

Or maybe something with a q or j to add them to the table.

[Proph3tTroyer]

Schröderium or something like that would be a pain to pronouce..

[Parasome]

You can cut an atom in Half, it's called an Atomic BOMB guy!

[PixlPianta]

If atoms didn't blow up when split, perhaps elementary particles (electrons, protons, etc) or quarks would be next.

[Parasome]

Yes, hence CERN

[PixlPianta]

CERN?

[wet1wheat]

Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Council for Nuclear Research)

[shaochiavang]

so if something slipts in half and so one, it will reach a point where you cant slipt it in half no more??

[f38stingray]

Sort of. Democritus basically said that you can't split atoms; that's the point where you can no longer split something.

This is true for chemical reactions, but you can, of course, split atoms through nuclear reactions.

[shaochiavang]

cuz i always thought that you can slpit something in half and keep going, cuz aint there something call "subatomic particles"?

[f38stingray]

Yeah, but it is really hard to split atoms. Normal chemical reactions just rearrange atoms, and that is the extent to which Democritus was right. Consider that he actually was right until a little more than the past half-century.

Only nuclear reactions split atoms; chemical reactions (which were the only reactions chemistry was based upon until nukes) do not.

[amethyst8teen]

Once you split the atom, you no longer have the element you were originally trying to divide. So once you split a substance past the atom, you no longer have that substance. :)

[shaochiavang]

so..what would you have then?

[amethyst8teen]

Yes, that would be the atom. An atom can not be split by physical or chemical means, it is possible to split though. But once you split past the atom, you no longer have the element you were originally splitting.

[shaochiavang]

but ur not answering me tho, what would you have after splitting the atom, energy cannot be create or desrtoyed..

[amethyst8teen]

You would have a different element or two different elements because that's the nature of atomic science. If you mean: what are atoms made of? Then that would be protons neutrons and electrons, plus some others that don't come up often like gluons and muons. Only neutrons and protons are found in the atomic nucleus and the number of protons determines what element it is.

[amethyst8teen]

True energy can not be created or destroyed (neither can matter) but if you're familiar with Einsteins equation E=mc2 then it is possible to convert matter into energy (like an atomic bomb) and even convert energy into matter.

[shaochiavang]

so technacally, spilting a atom, you'll still have something then..

[amethyst8teen]

yes, you have a different atom and you could split it down to a single proton in which case if you split it (i don't think we have the means to do that) into gluons and muons, theoretically of course. Those, however can not be split. if you want to divide something and still have it be what you started with, you have to stop at the atom...

[amethyst8teen]

But then you no longer have the element you were originally working with.

[amethyst8teen]

Technically you can't cut it, and it takes a few more atoms of a certain kind to produce an atomic bomb. I think he means that if you divide an element past the atom, you no longer have that element.

[Craydon]

I don't like naming scientific things after people or places.

[BlackLily888]

Lucretium

[lucilombardo]

how awesome! they've been trying to get that one recognized for over a decade! then again, their tests DID need work, so it's a good thing IUPAC waited. thank you, professor, for your insight and name suggestions :D (i'm rooting for litherlandium, myself) i don't live that far from darmstadt, maybe i'll try and get a visit to their lab :) pretty exciting stuff, this is!

[rvdm88]

googleium or Youtubeium

[ProfWithTheHair]

Hi all! You can only name elements after people who are dead! The only exception was Seaborg who discovered six lements and was honoured by one name after him shortly before he died.

[JerryKitich]

I think they used Zinc because someone said in Germany "Vat do you zink we should use" and some said "Yah, zink"

All those suggestions of the Professor would be very good.

Or if it is a beautiful golden liquid how about Beerium? or BeerSteinium??

[ktuluflux]

Hilarious!

[magick205]

How about Robert Wilheim Bunsen? Can you imagine a lab without his most known contribution?

[DarkRaimundo]

I love his tie!

[Kiliankoe]

Planckium would indeed be a good name.

Thanks for this informational video!

Yay, Germany :D

[HumanStrategy]

Yes, atom literally means a part that one can not split. So poetic^^

[magicsteviej]

What about: whatsthepointium whogivesashitium 

Sorry, couldn't resist :-(

[29394419485298585495]

Lmao

[theshontman]

Should be named after professor!

[Spiray]

Heh, I was about to write that.

"Proffesium"?

[droolingfangirl]

Ununbium is the temporary name.

too bad his tie will be outdated once they come up with a name.

[robinthenoodleeater]

lol i thought the same thing. my shower curtain will now be outdated

[formula8888]

don't cut your hand with that knife...lol i got worried

[acronus]

Max Planck already has a constant named after him. Is it really fair to give him both an atom and a constant in his honor?

[hash1212]

this professor is coooool
