Curium - Periodic Table of Videos

[qazmatron]

Look up "idiot's apostrophe" on Google.

A video is just one picture that happens to move, a "motion picture".

And this video isn't a video, it's an audio with a face. Audio is only a few hundred words.

Welcome to twitworld.

Uninformed.

Uninformative.

Incorrect. (It's 120 watts per GRAM for Cm-242.)

Not useful in audio format. (Talking head at a desk does not make it a video.)

(Some of their other videos are better.)

Viewers, go to Wikipedia and READ if you want to learn about elements.

@qazmatron Lol, go to wikipedia

[uxa1]

@qazmatron they say that a picture replace's a thousand word, a video is made up of (normally) 30 pictures per second, 67x30=2010, 2010 pictures are 2010000 words, fuck Wikipedia.

@qazmatron oh you're not being very kind....

we put quick videos up on every element some time ago and are gradually updating all of them.... this is really more of a placeholder

but thanks for your warm words anyway! ;)

@qazmatron LOL wikipedia. GTFO

any uses for alkaline cesium hydroxide ?

[TheWorldsLimits]

@bearpatch626 Yep. CsOH are used in some organic reactions. Usually when you need a strong source of OH but don't want any undesirable directing effects caused by smaller Na or K ions (Cs ions have no directing effects because the ion is too large).

@bearpatch626

Caesium hydroxide is very alkaline anyway . . .

WOW this helped for me learning more about this elemnt and coments were....rather beefy

[pHzerodotcom]

watts/hour? does he mean watts?

[TeslaCoilArbiter]

0.12 kilo watt hours i think he should say

[csmaster65]

@TeslaCoilArbiter why?

[TeslaCoilArbiter]

@csmaster65 no idea : ) i dont know why i said that

[csmaster65]

@TeslaCoilArbiter I think 120watt hours sound better.

Curium-243 has about a 30-year half-life. Most isotopes of Plutonium have pretty long half-lives, except for 241, which has a half-life of 14 years. So I guess the answer would be "usually?"

[dajwilkinson]

Curium-247 has a half-life of about 15.5 million years. This allows us at least to know there have no supernova explosions too close to Earth recently, otherwise Cm would have been found in nature long ago. That half-life still doesn't come close to Pu-244 at 80.8 million years so Cm is indeed, essentially, more radioactive than Pu.

[malango255]

So is it more radio active than say plutonium?

[Devilwarriar]

Much more lol
