Bromine (version 1) - Periodic Table of Videos

[eilselyiu8]

is it liquid metal?

[b1912313]

@eilselyiu8 No. Bromine isn't a metal.

[ilvmusiclol]

@eilselyiu8 No, it is just a liquid element :)

[mariosoupa]

Somebody spilled a whole bunch of it at my school today. The whole 5 level science block was quarantined.

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

Bromine, test for unsaturated bonds. FTW. 

[hurasane]

some idiot spilt some on my hand in the lab fml

[ajay120]

im having a hard time dealing with this hazardous stuff at my pharma plant. It has burnt my face a bit and it is very irritating for the eyes. When you try to wash your eyes with water it burns even more coz its oxidising potential increases

[mymsong]

lmao at the guy at 0:40 XD

[hr1100]

sci-fro

[james1212j]

this is good in AN EDUCationAL Way but boring in A KIDS VEIW, THIS Was recommed to me by Mrs.Newton

[5StarGeneralXenoCO]

@james1212j I wish I had that older man with the afro as my chemistry teacher XD

[MasterTonberryV1]

Lol at the Japanese name: 臭素

Literally mean: "the base of why it smells"

[imanerd36]

There are also brominated vegetable oils. They are used in citrus soft-drinks to emulsify the citrus oils with the water.

[phoenix22567]

@imanerd36 O_O

[vmelkon]

@imanerd36 Mountain Dew. Do the DEW!

[Nguli34689]

Bromine salts were once used in medicine. Before the discovery of phenobarbital, Potassium bromide was used to treat epilepsy. Bromides were also given to patients as a sedative. 35 years ago, and over-the-counter medicine containing KBr, NaBr, and Ammonium bromide was used as a mild sedative. It's name was Myles' Nervine. Bromides were also responsible for a certain condition called: Bromism which gave a fetid breath, lassitude, and other untoward symptoms.

[KrazyKuul111]

nice hair einstein wannabe

[imanerd36]

@KrazyKuul111 He actually made a whole video about his hair, you should check it out. He addresses the Einstein question.

[Strideo1]

0:37 Dude! Check out that hair. This guy looks awesome!

[Assi2004]

one of only a few liquid elements?

there are only 2... :D

[liam7morris]

4; Caesium (in hotter climates), gallium, mercury and bromine

[Assi2004]

both gallium and caesium are not even liquid at 25°C

the usual reference temp. is 15 and 20°C

sometimes also 0°C

never more and never less

in other words: there are only 2 liquid elements

Br2 is not "one of only a few liquid elements"

[liam7morris]

I know they're not liquid at 25°C, which is why i stated in hotter climates, for example >30°C.

[darksideofthebrick13]

Five.

Gallium

Mercury

Bromine

Cesium

Francium

[Assi2004]

whats up with those?

still only bromine and mercury are liquid @ room temperatur

even at 25°C they are still the only 2 liquid elements

[darksideofthebrick13]

on the periodic talbe those 5 elements are labeled liquid at a reasonalbe temperature. gallium and francium would melt in your hand, but solidify at room temp.

[DeltaPhi79]

If I might ask..... What comment are you replying to? lol.

[darksideofthebrick13]

assi2004

[dwerg2k]

There are only 2 elements that are liquid at room temperature, thats bromine and mercury. Gallium and Cesium are liquid a little above room temperature, francium is so rare that it is unknown but wikipedia still says it's over room temperature. Room temperature is 25°C, 298K or 72°F.

[darksideofthebrick13]

your body temperature is usually 98.6 F , hotter than room temperature.

[dwerg2k]

According to the international standard ISO 5011 the standard temperature is 20°C, standard pressure is 101.3kPa (1atm) and relative humidity is 50%. By this international standard there are only 2 elements that are considered liquid. None of the other standards exceed 25°C. Your periodic table is most probably inaccurate, you should change it. And one more thing, body temperature isn't a scientific standard.

[darksideofthebrick13]

its in my science room

[dwerg2k]

Probably not made by anyone with alot of chemistry knowledge.

[darksideofthebrick13]

actually it says copyright 1979 its pretty old... i looked at it closer today.

[TEKsterful]

mercury is the only element liquid at STP. bromine is liquid at room temperature.

[HairLikeCottonCandy]

at room temp

[darksideofthebrick13]

haha >.>

[j0han1]

When I was a kid I had a period when I used to burn or smash up all my toys. Once i tried to burn a very old circuit board, it didn't catch fire but gave a terrible, unfamiliar smell and brown smoke. I think that was the day when I discovered this element.

[Assi2004]

that was just some very poisonous smoke u saw there

u dont get Br2 out of a combustion

[DrLaksative]

Heh, kind of funny story you have, i also made uranium silicate out of silica beads and uranium :)

[xevious04warriors]

i love it so much!! go BROMINIANZ!!

[GodzillaCO]

BROmine

Most bro of the elements

[iDoCoversAndStuff]

I'm using that joke in a presentation I have to do in science. Not really a joke, more of a pun.

[Assi2004]

lol :D

[TheCaptainLulz]

pump chlorine through NaBr and you get bromine. but a word of warning, it REAKS!!!

[TheCaptainLulz]

I managed to distill the bromine and got a couple of drops of the pure stuff! it stores fairly well under water. It ate the hell out of the plastic tubing I was using though.

[Assi2004]

it also stores just as good (even better) as dry and pure substance

oh, did i mention that there are only 2 materiala u can accualy use to store it?

glas and PTFE (--> PTFE sealed bottle = best)

[AdvancedHumor]

Look at that guy's hair!

[dbc616]

My favorite element.

[TutorialGeneration]

Same :D

[culwin]

I use bromine to wash my hair... gets it squeaky clean!!

[GvannD]

really?

[gofe25]

congratulations ...... good work !!!!!!!!!

has been a great contribution to my study ... jejejejeje

[froggymaan]

put an aluminum piece in it :>

[TuneMaestro]

WhatWhatWHAAT? I'm from anglesey, I know not of a Bromine place!

[sciencoking]

they don´t want you to know because they want all the bromine o_O (just kidding)

[wojek52]

This is 1g bromine?

[SuperDuperMan180]

it looks like blood

[30016463]

we dont needs roads where we're going

[djphonehome]

doesnt bromine have 35 protons or electrons?

[johnsmith777710]

Both

[oo000OOO000oo]

i did not put the supercalah thing, my friend did

[howe094]

i made this at home for a lot cheaper than buying it out ofr KBrO3 and H2SO4 and capturing and cooling the vapor so that it condenses into a liquid. its actually a very easy process, although the vapors are quite dangerous

[YoodellyHoo]

It's not quite dangerous, it's fucking dangerous!

[howe094]

well even though it looks really bad, its actually less dangerous than chlorine gas because of its lesser electronegativity, so in small amounts it wont hurt you.

[YoodellyHoo]

Yeah you're probably right about it in a gaseous state - gram for gram though I reckon it's worse than chlorine though. We had a scare at work the other day when we thought some had got out, and then when someone got dizzy we were all really scared! Turned out to be food poisoning rather than bromine poisoning, so it's all ok...

[Draxis32]

Actually not, Cl element is quite a powerful one, but he doesnt harm us biogically speaking, Br on the other hand does happen to be much more poisoning if you breed or ingest it.They can form a serious of reactions that can screw you up, much worst than with Cl.

That's why Cl is used in house cleaning products, its has the less toxicity for us, from the halogen family.

[sciencoking]

i think that´s the bromide ion which is in fact more toxic than chloride ions. But the elemental form of bromine is less dangerous than chlorine

[quackbeef]

if you inhale it you will have respitroy failure. it can cause 3rd degree burns on your skin too.

[slateflash]

It's the only liquid!

[oo000OOO000oo]

mercury is also a liquid

[Blinkwing]

ever put aluminium in bromid?

try it!

[saintaureus]

Bromine is awesome!

[ManlySlut]

put potassium in bromine.

go on, i dare you.

[Queenmania2007]

That guy has awesome hair. End of.

[Sectorsophia]

Thanks for these videos. I'm having a hard time staying interested in my college chemistry class. These videos make it all very interesting!

[Spankmeimbritish08]

wow u no somthing but i bet u dont no why it has 35 of each of the protons and electrons

[WhatdoIdoforauser]

Because its an atom not an ion. Now stop dissing people.

[Spankmeimbritish08]

thats not the reason its cause it has to be negativly charged so it has to have the same number of + charge protons and - charge electrons

[99rhetbaboons]

They didn't mention that being 35th means it has 35 protons. Or that this means it has 35 electrons. Or why the electrons it has make it unreactive. Boring...

[chemboy47]

What? Bromine's chemistry isn't that important?! The Bromine Society disagrees. It plays a huge roll in organic chemistry, especially in palladium mediated coupling reactions; Thousands of these reactions are carried out each day, some on an industrial scale. Bromine rules OK.

[CaelanM]

I agree.

[bmarlin611]

I once, as an idiot lab assistant at college, accidentally (purposely?) poured bromine onto a (thankfully designed-as-nonreactive) lab bench. WHOA! the beautiful purple vapor rolled off the table onto the floor, corroding the S*** out of everything it touched. Talk about a stench it emptied out three biology labs and eventually the whole building. --Oakton Community College 1972. Maureen Carney, are you listening?

[BartManNL]

When I went to lab school (about 1992) a 2,5 litre bottle of bromine fell onto the floor and broke. The whole building had to be evacuated and the culprit lab assistant who dropped the bottle was sent in to clean up. Het couldn't find a breath protecting apparatus and eventually came out of the building coughing his lungs out of his chest.

The stench lasted for several weeks... Later I did research requiring bromination. I was véry careful never to spill a drop...

[heruursciences]

Don't drop it... the TLD of it 16x less than CYANIDE!

[Samael78]

I love these videos, yet I always hated science as a child. Keep them coming!

[n3wby001]

why?

[Samhains]

you guys are great! Well said, well spoken, learned alot...

!GO!

N.F.F.C

[spruce86]

Lol i agree with everything in that statement - N.F.F.C all the way!
