  • I liked unununium better =P Though it was never there to stay anyway.

  • You pronunciation of Röntgen is actually pretty spot on. (Native german speaker here)

  • one of the unamed elements should be named after the Professor

  • Is it weird that when he said "we can see things people have swollowed that they shouldn't have" I immediately thought of semen? :S

  • Wait, if it's german, and there's an oe, then wouldn't it be "Rerntgenium".

  • row-en-teg-inium

  • Where else would you swallow them? You're butt?

  • Hardest for the professor (who is the best XD) to say eh... I said it on the first shot but sometimes mess up on ruthenium.

  • I loved it's previous name - Unununium.

  • is it possible that after somewhile in the periodic table there will be an element so heavy that it collapses into a black hole,

    element # 3455

    Blackholium

    Description: an element so damn heavy it collapses into a black hole

  • i belive it doesn't work like that

  • blackholium, nice lol

  • it would have to weigh 1.4 times more than the sun, which i imagine would be pretty unstable

  • HAHA!

  • wut?

  • Actually to create a black hole you also need to decrease the volume

    The atom would be far to big and disperse

  • Keep vigilant for cornholium as well.

  • @frogeyedpeas No, there actually cannot be any elements after 147 (or is 137?), the problem arises with the strong nuclear force. This force is very strong but also has a very short reach. I don't know the math off the top of my head but basically what happens is that there are so many protons and neutrons in the nucleus that the strong nuclear force cannot reach all the way across the nucleus making it too unstable to stay together. It would immediately decay into smaller elements.

  • @frogeyedpeas

    it wont have enough mass

  • Roengen = X-Ray

  • i have to do a project on this element, but i need a slogan for it, do u think that u can help me with a good slogan for roentgenium?

  • Why not quote The Professor and make this your slogan...

    "Roentgenium - Almost Unpronounceable"

  • Lol!!! You should be in advertising!

  • I love these videos, but I just find this hilarious

    Let the clip load all the way, then, leaving it paused, click around to random parts of the clip and watch the Professor's face, I find it hilarious

  • u know what my father named me after this man. roentgen, and when someone hears it, it suddenly pops thru their minds, that he is the man who invented x rays.. phew

  • I want to bring to your attention that in the German speaking world, X-rays are called "Röntgenstrahlen", "Röntgen-rays".

  • Formal name???

  • it means that all the elements after this haven't been made yet or it is debatable that they have been made or not enough has been made and so they are called like unonoctium go to wikipedia and look at a "full" periodic table and you will understand.

  • isnt it just ununium??

  • That's what it was called before they could come up with a name for it.

  • Good thing about x-rays. The whole business of cutting people's hands open in order to see the bones was a lot of bother, and quite a mess.

  • Cool, X-ray is called röntgen in Swedish, that's pronounced the same as Roentgen.
