Arsenic - Periodic Table of Videos

[ebuyerFTW]

1:19 - after saying "I'm gonna take this vial out *very* carefully"

[YOURMCTUTS]

This was a great explanation of Arsenic

[itabiritomg]

here, im minas gerais, brazil we have a tipical food made of a fern that growns almost everywere here. many people got cancer because they eat this a lot and them some reserchers on our university discovery that the ferns concetrate a lot of arsenic from the minerals that are very common here and this is what makes people get cancer.

I've been getting Arsenic Trioxide infused into me every weekday for the past five weeks. It's a good medicine for APL, a rare form of leukemia that I'm battling at the moment.

[TheErinTaylor]

LOL death by wallpaper. That just made my day.

[ChaosButterfly8]

Curb your cannibalism. Arsenic element number 33!

[ChaosButterfly8]

Arsenic disposal Illuminati number 33.

[ChaosButterfly8]

Being green with envy will kill you. The old lace and wallpaper anyway.

[ChaosButterfly8]

Illuminati arsenic element number 33 :)

[douro20]

Isn't antimony even more toxic?

[douro20]

Trimethylarsine is not quite as toxic as the pure metal. It was found later that the amount of trimethylarsine released by the mold attacking arsenic green was not enough to have any serious health effects.

[idaspe]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that hair... :o)

It makes me so happy :D

[Margoth195]

Arsenic: King of poisons, poison of kings!

[ma356289]

@Margoth195 i like that

[MrQwerty0]

This is a great video and a great website. My only addendum to this video would be adding the fact that there is a bacteria on Earth that uses As in place of P in its structure, so instead of creating ATP it creates ATAs as an energy carrier, which is quite fascinating and changes some ideas about life.

[KarbineKyle]

NICE VIDEO! My grandfather was given medicinal arsenic back in the days. He lived to be 86 years old. Pyrite, AKA "fool's gold", contains arsenic, depending on the purity. Pyrite is FeS2, or iron disulfide, iron + sulfur. Chalcopyrite contains copper, CuFeS2. Arsenopyrite contains arsenic, FeAsS. Pyrite is a good ore for arsenic, depending on purity. Arsenopyrite can contain almost 50% arsenic. Many LEDs contain arsenic compounds. Arsenic is a toxic metalloid. Sadly, it's quite hard to find now.

[mufffiiinnnnnn]

- Hahahaha, Albert Einstein ! (:

Hahahahahhahahaahhahahahaa !

[alasanof]

Nepeta's favorite element.

[me835]

Speaking of bacteria and As, could you guys do a video on the new bacteria that was discovered that actually contains As within itself as a building block? You guys always do a great job, and can always help me understand stuff that sometimes eludes me otherwise.

[derickhaywood]

@me835 they already have mate

[MrDasamps]

@me835 It's not a newly discovered type of bacteria.

[wiseye61]

Arsenic-based life....

[RyuDarragh]

@wiseye61: Actually, a bacteria that can substitute As for P (Phosphorus) in some chemical reactions. Kind of like the Trilobite that uses a different metal for its blood than Iron.

[FTWMikeDero]

"I don't want to expose myself."

[Thekikster93]

love that dudes hair

[douro20]

Trimethylarsine actually is only poisonous in very large amounts- it's often overstated as to its toxicity. It is now believed that the trimethylarsine exposure in Victorian times was not large enough to cause ill effects.

[Desmaad]

Gallium arsenide also makes a great semiconductor apparently.

[cassiavc]

Portuguese? Why portuguese? I speak portuguese! I am so happy! By the way, can I buy arsenic from eBay?

[svenp]

I watch these just for the crazy gray 'fro.

[nejustinas32]

ill just very very carefully get this vial out of this little box..(tries bumping on the hand then te wood)Hmmmm i think ill need some Xenon :D

[Antikaku99]

Arsenic is read as arsnic silent e take note lol

[HimmiJoe]

Better not touch this stuff. But good video.

[AgentCROCODILE]

Yep... very carefully take the vial out...

[123DTREY123]

Old man with cool hair xD

[Naddig74]

They used to mine Arsenic up the river from me at Morwellham Quay.

[mostliberal]

If it's so toxic, WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE USE IT? I mean, CHICKEN FEED? Are they TRYING to kill their customers? If the FDA allowed this, then its workers are retarded.

[japanesepoptart]

@mostliberal

"toxicicity depends not on the substance, but the dose."

You can die from drinking too much water. same goes for arsenic.

in example, the treatment for heart worms in dogs are a series of arsenic based injections.

[mostliberal]

@japanesepoptart Water is not toxic; it's the imbalance of water and electrolytes that kills; not an inherent toxic quality of water. You can get the same effect from having no intake of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and other alkali/alkaline metals.

[KilgothMirna]

@mostliberal People even have doctors inject botulin toxin right into their skin, and that's probably the most toxic compound that we currently know of.

[ThrowingItAway]

@KilgothMirna what was it like 10g of the toxin is enough to kill the whole human population?

[lastingpain22]

@ThrowingItAway

The entire human population? As in...all several billion of us?

I think your overestimating the toxicity of arsenic...

[ThrowingItAway]

@lastingpain22 you're the biggest fail I've ever seen... couldn't you see it was a reply to someone else's comment? we were talking about Botulin Toxin and it's more like 100g that could kill us all.

[Vennificus]

It's also used in pressure treated wood

[calumb628]

you can get arsenic here elementsales (dot) com/pl_element.htm#as

[75SilentWarrior]

Is this as poisonous as mercury?

[schmidtbag]

@75SilentWarrior

i'm not a chemist but i highly doubt it. you can touch mercury and depending on the type, you can ingest it. according to this video, arsenic is so poisonus that that guy wouldn't even keep a closed bottle of it in his hand

[andy187inc]

Napoleon died by his wallpaper because Napoleon's wallpaper was green.

[tiagandremo]

@andy187inc there was arsenic all over his house, his clothes, china, plates, cutlery, carpets if he had them, he had it on his hair aswell

[Mou141]

The Periodic Table of videos, videos are really interesting.

[sparkypeeps]

thanks so much, i was doin homework on a couple of metals

[superspecialawsome55]

one compound of this substance GaAs which is gallium and arsenic it is used in transistors and LED's

[trader0108]

Has anyone noticed that Arsenic number 33 is associated with the year 1933 when Adolf Hitler became the "leader" of germany ( "leading" the prior element 32 germanium ), doing much killing ( as arsenic may kill ) particularly in Russia ( element 44 Ruthenium may be associated with element 33 by the double ( World War 2 ) two 2 digits elements 33 & 44 ) ?

[jondesbrow]

haha, I love the big haired dude. He is so good at explaining things and has such a relaxing voice. I hope my professor at uni will be like him.

[RedDwarffs]

@jondesbrow he's a professor at my University. I haven't met him though.

[cplai]

Do you have a ranking of toxic metals and elements by their potency? e.g. how quickly they kill given same quantity. I guess radio active metals and gaseous elements deserve separate lists because they kill with a different mechanism.

[blo114]

terrorist

[cartouchator]

@cplai if there was a list, arsenic would be on top. You die almost instantly if you ingest some. I heard somewhere it's very very painful though

[DeltaPhi79]

Because it could possibly break?

[HairLikeCottonCandy]

Shouldn't this guy be wearing gloves if he "doesn't want this on [his] skin" ?

[amphitritie]

He says much less common, BUT THAT IMPLIES THAT PEOPLE STILL POISON EACH OTHER!

[hebesphenomegacorona]

lol you're dumb

[tekinak007]

Do you realise upon reading this, you just sound completely ignorant? Good work champ, takes alot of work to look like an idiot im sure.

[iUchibi]

He took it really carefully, pft.

[deviloclock5]

lol arse knight

[PattyMMelt]

Geez, why is the sound so distorted??

[imover18gotityube]

the audio gain must have been too high and cause clipping.

[EnragedSephiroth]

Once you have a Ph.D in chemistry or some complicated scientific field, (not to mention the tenure) who cares?

[jonzot]

I do have a degree in Chemistry (BSc University of Queensland)............ and I have short hair !!!

[douro20]

Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) is still used to treat wood.

[CrazyMonkey124]

try doing it like cocaine!

[conizme1]

What if that vial smashed when he tapped it on the desk and it went all over him :D

[CrazyMonkey124]

Hahaha lol XD

[oneg1993]

1:10 I'm gonna very carefully take this vial out

*wack wack wack wack*

[Sharkness77]

looks like?

[micLuc14]

no offensive but the man with the gray hair looks like a mad scientist

[antiswattt]

true...

[DeadlySausage]

Smart bloke though

[liquidoxygen0]

micLuc14: I think that's the idea.

[PartVIII]

1:21 he says it so seriously

[arachnipope]

Can we use the red doppler shift to calculate the expansion of his hair?....or the expansion of my forehead.. hahaha These are great videos!! Thanks for posting them.

[CamTuTrinh]

I need that for my students.

[Wocfan]

Arsenic is also used in rat poisons to have better effect but nowadays I don't think they use it ,but if you have at home have a look at the ingredients,you'll never know :)

[SuperDuperMan180]

i love this amazing 70's einstein hairdo

[ttdantt10384]

does anyone know where I could get some of this from, for the wife

[Etrician55]

lol i hear you man, i was driving by a camp the other day and there was a sign at the end of the driveway "beware of" then he had dog crossed out and he had wrote "lillian" lol i guess it was his wife who was the psycho hahahaha

[FIScorinthian]

@ttdantt10384 Spectrum chemicals has quite a bit of good stuff, they sell pure arsenic at $54.40 for 25g.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@ttdantt10384 find a shop that sells minerals and look for orpiment. Its a beautiful yellow stone, but its arsenic sulfide. Should be cheap too.

[DoubleHelix46]

@ttdantt10384

Better start collecting apple seeds, your most likely to die of age before you get enough seeds.

[Midnighter169]

@ttdantt10384 has she read this yet?

[DJFamou5]

@ttdantt10384 arsenic is toxic, just to say.

[FiliPinoy95]

@ttdantt10384 give her to me

[jorge10928]

@ttdantt10384 haha

[funnystuff1284]

@ttdantt10384

ahhh i see what you did there

[DRcaprice]

@ttdantt10384 just use drano like a normal person....

[death4hiro]

@ttdantt10384 Ah, he said it a little later.... Transistors and old chicken feed of the US?

[retardedfishfrogs]

You gotta love the fro... sweet videos. I love learning about the different elements

[masterfufu1]

HAHA LOL- i totally imagined him saying "now i have to open this very carefully" and then he bangs on the box and it breaks, spraying arsenic all over his face! LOL :)

[manzilla86]

Who is that guy with the sweet hair? Go Chemistry!

[88metallica88]

phailure

[felipehdez1b]

i love that old man... so typical

[Charactereyes]

lol me too, reminds me of profs i had. i am growing my hair like that right now; wish me luck! :)

[lightupaJ]

what are you all afraid of? Arsenic is ALL NATURAL! Nature's finest...right?

[whiteguy774]

Holy shit, they used to put arsenic in chicken feed in the US???

[InBloom10]

they used to use it to dye candies too.

[cowbell400]

Sick fro

[Kraat0s]

carefully! -smack smack smack!- lol...

[Davester1988]

TrimethyleARSEne. Gotta love chemistry. =D

[ttucker888]

There is a chemical called arsole. It has a ring structure.

There have been papers written on it:

"Unusual Substitution in an Arsole Ring", G. Märkl and H. Hauptmann, Angew. Chem. 84, (1972) 439.

And jokes:

Two chemists meet for the first time at a symposium. One is American, one is British. The British chemist asks the American chemist, "So what do you do for research?" The American responds, "Oh, I work with arsoles." The Brit responds, "Yes, sometimes my colleagues get on my nerves also."

[coughmint]

i will now get this out carefully *whacks against shelf*

[jamesrgill]

his hair is the business

[calrogman]

It's awesome, huh?

[Knockturnall1]

thats what you call a mad Scientist hair do/style.

[normaajeann]

it's the cheese to my macaroni

[Search4Knowledge]

Wish I could suck his knowledge out with a straw! Tnx

[Enternets]

Interesting.

[DeoMachina]

Wait, did he say it was used "quite rightly" for killing people?

[velcrorex]

I think he says "quite widely"

[ScrabbleDiva]

yeah...kinda of an Einstein type style

[zetsu937]

wat u talking bout daniboy, these people are cool

[OoAwwRange]

I think that old guys hair looks cool
