Ununquadium - Periodic Table of Videos

[Buddyb309]

Can we go out for lunch someday? I would love to meet with all of you.

[VoxNeruda]

Name it Jeezium,

as in "Sweet Jeezus, eight days banging and all we've got to show is two goddamn atoms."

[tantricsam]

'myassonium' is also considered a new discovery and potentially when of the heaviest elements around. (however J-Lo may disagree).

[zbrooo]

I thought we were only on the 'shores' of the island of instability because they can't get hold of the right elemental isotopes to form isotopes that are predicted to be in the island of stability. Wouldn't it be cool though if a super heavy element was stable or had a half life of over a hundred years at least.

[MissIshiokaShibuya]

Flerovium!!!

[thetick531]

What does Ununquadium look like?

[TheMotherOfChrist]

@thetick531 it decays to quickly to get i picture (i think) :P

[mrliberty1776ma]

HOW about "Naquadah" element 114

[jodydessi]

I want that tie!

[Hyp3r309]

I think this guy is the cure to insomnia.

[Sakurazuka1999]

I NEED the same necktie :D

[Roshkin]

My vote is for polikoffonium (the professor with a white dome of hair)

[320005397]

Wow he can reallly show anything on ties! Interesting videos by the way!

[SirArghPirate]

Scientific method :)

[aSongScout]

These videos are fascinating, thank you.

[Mandragara]

HIS HAIR IS SO BIG

[napalm4sd]

I don't understand how these particles can be considered elements if they can only be produced synthetically, and only last a fraction of a second... I would think the only particles that can be considered elements, are those that are produced naturally and don't exist for fractions of a second.

[periodicvideos]

@napalm4sd how many fractions of a second must it last to be considered.... what is the official cut-off point?

[Stormdude100]

@periodicvideos Where can I get that tie? It looks awesome but seriously where can I get it?

[skateman22]

@periodicvideos They are still synthetic

[xGothimox]

@periodicvideos

Long enough so you can actually study the element, at least some aspects of it.

[Eldrmfdl]

@napalm4sd Good point, but then how would you categorize those 'particles?' The term 'element' is a word that defines the category of unit particles making up a physical object. Atomic number, being one of the important properties showing a pattern, cannot be ignored. Atomic numbers of elements increase by one according to how many protons it has in its nucleus. So, it is correct to consider these synthesized particles to be considered elements. Does this help?

[Prstvlkkrtek]

@napalm4sd It is an element because it's not a compound; it is one single atom. The speed at which it decays does not matter.

[W3UnIT3]

@napalm4sd thosent matter because if the synthetic element would be put in a vacume it wouldnt dissapear

[maverickplabs]

@napalm4sd The so called "naturally occurring elements" were all made in the sun and universe, H being the simplest form. These "unununims" are first off, NOT particles; protons, electrons, & neutrons are examples of particles, the building blocks. All atoms are made from these building blocks. He is atomic number 2; you just add more blocks to get from H to He...all it takes is E. That's the way you play the game all they way up to 114...the only problem is it takes a "LOT" more E...

[Trigger200284]

@napalm4sd ok well if thats the case, do we just forget these particals exist? do we not name them and document them for later encounters? these experiments do produce atoms, not particals, even if it has lifespan of a fraction of a second, it has a nucleus, made of neutrons and protons, and it has electrons. how is that anything other than an element?

[peon17]

@napalm4sd I can't say much for the synthesis argument, but some of the super-heavy elements do have isotopes with relatively long half-lives. For example, Copernicium has an isotope with a half-life of 4.2 minutes.

[DukeFireBird]

@napalm4sd let me ask you this, if a baby was born and then died in a fraction of a second, should they issue a certificate of birth and death? Would you consider that baby a human being?

[jodydessi]

@DukeFireBird Absolutely!

[randisius]

@napalm4sd I think the thing to remember is, these elements, though unstable on Earth at roughly sea-level, could in fact exist in other places of the universe in large, stable quantities or compounds. By synthesizing these elements, we actually increase our understanding of how elements form and even how they stabilize.

[morkatem]

@napalm4sd

i guess it would be much like your comment where if the creator of this channel were to delete it then it will no longer exist and so would have decayed out of existence...would we still consider it a comment? Perhaps only if it lasted longer than a few fractions of a second? 8 months? i guess it's a comment after all !LOL! Science and Philosophy all wrapped up in one for you!

[MrKingJay99]

@napalm4sd so Technetium (atomic number 43) isn't an element?

[dclaver2]

What does Uuq look like?

[pikachuthesquirtle]

All these artificial stuff. God won't approve I tell ya.

[1mb0123d]

@pikachuthesquirtle

What are you talking about? This is a very interesting experiment which provides valuable insight into the workings of chemistry and nature. It is an experiment which adds scientific knowledge and understanding. I don't believe the computer you used and the internet medium through which you accessed and commented on this video is not "artificial".

And I'm not quite sure how you think you have the authroity to know what you refer to as "God" would approve or not approve of.

[EnragedSephiroth]

@1mb0123d What are you talking about? My computer fell out off an apricot tree and is slowly biodegrading into the soil as I write th..i...

[DARTCG]

It is the tie from our GSI in Darmstadt, yes :)

[loserofnothing]

did you see that??? around 1.15 the screen behind the professor!!

[mitchly]

@loserofnothing Yeah, I did! How's that work then? Very weird. Billy. UK

[pbtwentythree]

I want that tie.....

[ItsSkaTV]

Whatever they call this element, the chemical symbol should be "J". There are no Js on the periodic table.

[Frankyboy1177]

Where is he getting these ties...I need one!

[LithiumChicken]

in the spirit of element 112, element 114 will be called Gallileum, after Gallileo Gallilei

[cepson]

Maybe they should name it after the famous scientologist, L. Ron Hubbard.

What? Scientist?

Oh, never mind.

[TitanREW]

he is a fukin heimerdinger. :)

[davedavedaveannoy1]

The new name will be... "Giantassatom-ium", has kind of a good ring to it doesn't it.

[kawana87]

Can someone explain why they bother trying to create these new elements, if theyre only able to make 1 or 2, for a fraction of a second? What can they do with them in that short amount of time?

[RSXdaLV]

@kawana87 Island of stability is wider than just element 114,  I guess it's even till 126, so even for sake of testing this neutron shell theory, i guess it's worth it, atleast for me it would be worth it.

[WestGaul12]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that tie!!!!

[iceland3211]

LOL his hair is a freakshow!

[SporeInfoProductions]

Well, they can't choose Einstein, because he has the number 99 XD

[natcapucim]

Oh my God who makes these ties??? hahahaha awesome!!

[awlangham]

So am I going to have to buy a new periodic chart poster?

[stylin1983]

the next stable element is 115

[TheKrazySystem]

Fascinating.

[lthnnpwr]

You, god Sir, are a superstar!

[ultrahenk]

Naming a new element after a famous scientist who inspired others... What about Poliakoffium? :)

[Paddler007able]

yea, great idea, and you could create one of those molecular model out of the professors water bottles

[Paddler007able]

why calcium?

[ultrahenk]

Because Plutonium (94) + Calcium (20) = Ununquadium (114)

[Paddler007able]

actually I guess my real questions is, if you are trying to create an element with stability why did they think calcium would be it? why not lead or some other element?

Thanks

C

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

does 114 have a name?

[LukasofLithuania]

Ununquadrium

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

we know that but has IUPAC given it a name?

[moosey333]

does he have Parkinsons?

[chemiealex]

Turn off you telephone at 0:22 ;-)

I love your videos! Good channel!

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

so what did he call number 112? what was it named?

[ElveeKaye]

How awesome that he can use his tie to explain something about chemistry!

[crabbygaz]

Top Stuff.

[QuantumCarl]

So basically this is the best scientist ever because he changed his tie so he could use it to explain science.

I salute him!

[876904]

hes got douyle monitors yay

[Roxy222uk]

I want that tie - where does it come from?

[Jarls]

A shop.

[Roxy222uk]

Ha ha, actually not true if you watch the video about the Professor's new tie

[silent555666]

is that last bit a plug for his own name?^ . -

[Zeldakitteh]

@silent555666

Possibly. Let us all make a Facebook group supporting it? =D

[newg123456789]

i think i love him :)

[jellis4465]

Is this the new Susan boyle makeover?

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

i believe this is Proffessor Poliocov (im sure that is the wrong spelling)...

[SegaFanClub]

Wow. Holy shit, my friend probably sees this guy on a daily basis

[kurucu83]

I love this man! He pulls his tie out to show an example of decaying atoms.

Brilliant.

[Tote1883gas]

I would love to flick a match into his fair and calculate how long it would take to burn

[dark18fury]

Lol his hair. haha.

[jhiam64]

anyone notice the scrolling markee on the 2 screens behind?

[Cokecakepopcorn]

Why people like this got crazy hair always? though he is missing the bow tie

[hididdlyho82]

hELLO i'M FROM THE FUTURE AND IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE ATOM SIZE YOU NEED TO BUILD A "ATOMIC CAGE" Build a atom up inside a single carbon 360 cell, When it will build nomore remove the surrounding nucleas, the future of fuel depends or you!

[ljdaug]

I'd have more faith in the future, if you could spell nucleus right.

[hididdlyho82]

It's the idea itself, not my spelling that you should be worried about!

[hididdlyho82]

It was meant as a plural!

[dlouis95]

@ljdaug I'd have more faith in the future if you knew where to put and where not to put commas. =)

[hididdlyho82]

if only they could make the nucleas bigger! They should name it MICHEAL JACKSONIUM symbol MJ

[Guarding]

would it be better to write it on a piece of paper rather than on a tie

[deam1nable]

yawn!

[cwlhandluc]

I hate to be pedantic but Copernicus was born in Prussia. Although Prussia is in modern day Poland (at the time it was a vassal of the kingdom of Poland) Prussia was and is culturally German. (most of Prussia was German until 1945) So essentially the Germans did choose a scientist from their own country. ( Or at least their own countries cultural sphere)

[rabiesdog]

Wikipedia doesnt make you clever

[Zggrt443]

A very interesting and promising discovery!

Plus this guy's hair is dope as fuck... waving his hands around like an Italian!

[mariek12]

were would we be without mad scientists i wonder

[TheLotusMantis]

I think this guy found element 114 in his hair.

It's kind of cool to know that real stereotypical "Mad Scientists" exist.

[MareBellator]

And here we have your sterotypical German mad scientist :)

[Oneandoneself]

he is Russian

[muslimah871]

ooooh mad scientist lol

[mary89xmc588]

cut your hair, you shouldnt look like einstein, every genious should have its own style :P

[7agris]

Einstein had mustage

[AdRenaLinMMIX]

LOVING THE TIE!!

[Rakyth]

What if they use a different combination of nuclei to fuse together?

114 can be split a LOT of ways.

[tybo09]

These super-heavy created atoms are incredibly short lived (but you know that).

Do you have any ideas on how to stabilize them (how would they conceptually be stabilized, if you knew how to do it in practice, you'd have a nobel prize)

[storinge]

tybo09 - you ask, Do you have any ideas on how to stabilize them (how would they conceptually be stabilized, if you knew how to do it in practice, you'd have a nobel prize)

To make the atoms more stable, you would need to slow down time for those atoms relative to our 'normal' time. One way of doing this would be to accelerate them to near speed of light.

The other option would be to play them Wagner's Ring Cycle (Der Ring des Nibelungen) which makes time pass very slowly indeed. - Dr Lilo

[CATSCEO]

Hawknium for Hawking?

[AbsolutMyS]

how do they make the screensavers so that it starts on one screen when it ends on another?? XD it looks quite cool :P

[TadRaunch]

name it after the professor!

[x3x3Kennyx3x3]

im thinking about... obamarium

[HaloGeek454]

its so powerful just one atom of obamarium cam destoy a mass the size and shape of america

[buzzausa]

Wow, you guys are really on top of things.

I hadn't heard about it yet.

Great video as always!

[SpellboundSolution]

The periodic table is getting really overcrowded! 92 is the only cool element anyway.

[Drag0nfoxx]

I read somewhere that ununquadium might be a noble gas O_o

[AdmiralBud]

no, ununoctium is a noble gas

[Drag0nfoxx]

I said that because it's so heavy, it could have some strange properties.

[CATSCEO]

114 is under lead, 118 would be a noble gas.

[Drag0nfoxx]

Yes, I know, but that website just said that because they're so extremely heavy, they might have strange properties.

Though of course it would be possible that they're just wrong. You can't mess with the periodic table...

[DrBumQuist]

I love your videos Professor! Please keep on doing this :)

[exodia94]

i heard of UUn UUQ and someothers

[jsm555]

I hope they don't name 114 after a Kenyan Marxist.

[Killermonkeyink]

LMAO!!

[Rakyth]

What's wrong with Marxism?3:

[WiseMasterNinja]

Marxism is a scientific theory for history, politics & economics which has been disproven.

Marx predicted countries would go communist only after being fully capitalist, but all countries that went communist were pre-industrial (except Czechoslovakia). Marx said the industrial proletariat would inevitably become increasingly poor, numerous, class-concious & revolutionary, but in fact it has become less of all these things. It is based on obsolete theories of science, psychology, economics etc.

[Oneandoneself]

its crap and doesnt work

[LAOTG]

What about 113?

[zztwp]

Element 115 that what I want to hear about !

Also known as 4333 !

ZZTWP :

[underground24020]

Believe it or not...this guy is a cocksman

[Digeridude]

Woo, this is my favorite element!

[SANNAFABICH]

hell yeah! white afro is back! And so is that cool screensaver!!!!

[BasherCoon]

Lol, windows 3d text is a cool screensaver? :)

[SANNAFABICH]

text going from one monitor to the other, yeah that's cool

[BasherCoon]

Get UltraMon, and 2 monitors. You can do it too. :p It's a pretty basic multimonitor trick.

[SANNAFABICH]

don't dis the white afro!

[MisterGooglyEyes]

when it plays between two monitors it is :)

[BasherCoon]

Any dual display PC can do that... Little program called UltraMon is all you need. To one-Up that, there's also screensavers that are specially designed for dual/multi monitor use.

[SANNAFABICH]

great! now I just need another monitor :p

[trickyricky42]

Where can I get a tie like that please?

[johnclavis]

Excellent video as always. I think physicists have to realize that just about all of the 20th century physicists have elements named after them already. Wait a second... I got it --

Schrodingerium!

[sliver321123]

Does that mean it exists or doesn't?

SO CONFUSING :P

[TehConqueror]

it did/does (for a fraction of a second)

[sliver321123]

I was making a joke about Schrodinger, not a real question :P

The Schrodinger's Cat thing? You know? Yes? Maybe?

[taofledermaus]

I predict the new element will be called

"Barackobamium". :-P

[dan020350]

made in 10 yrs ago ?

[BentleeFarms]

element 114 name Poliakoff

[y8r6jrrtfg]

wherer the hell do i got is tie???

[darksideofthebrick13]

you computers' screen save is cool. How do you do that?

[ynkl7abg]

It's just a standard dual monitor setup on windows

[cheetah219]

bohrium should be e-114.

[SharpTeef]

id hit

[seedot555]

einastoneium

[Beefdoctor]

If element 114 has been created before in russia and it has a decay chain, surely they would of observed it decaying into element 112, copernicium. this would mean 112 was created 10 years ago, am i barking up the wrong tree?

[drokles]

Makes sense, and thumbs up for noticing, although there's probably no way of knowing for sure that it would be an alpha decay.

[cheetah219]

you are correct, and in fact it is presumably possible that e-112 was actually "created" in russia, although they did not observe it and thus they did not mention e-112

[super1commenter]

how about poliakium?

[jlspma]

original!

[super1commenter]

Thanks!

[culwin]

Poliakoffium. Yeah.

[jlspma]

yay...you copied me.

[exodia94]

i heard about this element a yr ago but i was nt tat convinced.

[forglegorktheork]

I think it should be named Poliakoffium.

[PieXNinja]

I say we call 114 Poliakoffnium (I hope nobody beat me to this)

[pepsibookcat]

Yeah!  He got to wear his new tie! :)

I wonder which 2 elements will prove successful in combination for 113.

[robdotcom71]

It's Doc Emmett from back to the future!!

[jedisoul]

where do you get those ties? it's not in the chem store at my university nor is it at the Bay...
