BBC | Chemistry: A Volatile History | Ep 2 The Order of the Elements (5 of 6)

[RJL738]

Atoms are measured in picometers, nuetrons and protons are measures in femtometers and eletrons are measured in autometers. The whole atomic nucleus on average takes up only a few quintillionths of the atom's volume. Even within the scale of the atom there are many different worlds set apart by levels of measurment.

Correction: Niels Bohr was never Denmark's goalie. His brother Harold was.

nobody makes documentaries at good as the BBC - perhaps if they didn't waste millions of pounds sending soccer "experts" on salaried holidays (first class travel, 5 star hotels, haute cuisine etc) they could afford to make some more

@vulpecula999 The presenter is also great. If I had this professor I would never have fallen asleep in class.

These chemical spectra should be well-known to the host; they are rooted in quantum mechanics, after all.

@1RadicalOne

No shit. If he didn't do any interviews it would turn into a lecture instead of entertainment.

But don't worry, you showed everybody how smart you are just like in part 3.

[1RadicalOne]
