I am confused you say teeth can be dissolved very easily with acid, but in your sulfuric acid video the killer was caught because they found the teeth while the rest of the body was dissolved in H2SO4.
Tin Fluoride is safe in toothpaste as long as you don't swallow it(particularity bad for children), sodium fluoride... significantly more dangerous but it isn't used anymore, the Nazi connection scared people away from using it for good reason.
The stuff put in water to fluoridate it is waste from the Aluminium industry, it(hydrofluorosilicic acid) is far more toxic than sodium fluoride, and doesn't provide any benefits to dental health... Tin Fluoride works topically, systemically it's unsafe.
@AugustinusSextus I meant toxic rather than the burning/eating property. Ofcourse the acid is more dangerous but rather because it disolves everything at once. The salt sodium flouride is not eating or burning, but it is still extremely toxic, drink it and you will die but slowly and surely.
@soundspark That's also true. But again, that's the acid and by it's burning properties it also act as a contact poison. JUst tried to warn for that salt of sodium and that acid.
@Iamcroplayer and it is...theorically, hydrogen under extreme conditions would be an even stronger reducing agent, but it is difficult to say for sure.
@CroatianProductions noooo! lets chose Cesium or Francium :D, ought to be the strongest chemical reaction there is(apart from nuclear which I have no clue about)
@dean10007 Yet Nuclear Reactions, theories and the whole topic about Nuclear power was discovered and explained in terms of chemistry. It's only in recent times that Physics are able to explain these phenomena with relative calculations.
The original study on sodium fluoride in 1935 showed that topically it could have a positive effect on oral health... however if ingested it killed the test subjects(rats), if ingested in very small amounts it gathered in the brain and bones, increasing the rate of cancer, reducing mental capacity and oral health - tooth rot from fluorosis.
Exact same story with Tin Fluoride, but far less toxic.
What's put in water is neither, it's chemical waste.
It will react with gold? Well that explains why people are suggested to put a bit of collidal gold in their drink to reverse and prevent flourine poisoning.
Fluoride is a toxic bone destroyer. Iodine is the good stuff.
GOOGLE[ Fluoride Iodine Antagonism ]
Fluoride in water is a toxic waste byproduct of Aluminum refining, it cannot be dumped directly into the ocean, so they "dilute by dispersion", and have been chemically poisoning the USA and most civilized nations while leaving the water pipes contaminated with toxic fluoride poison. It is one of the largest most vile crimes against humanity.
What happens when fluorine ions interact with soft tissues? Should I be concerned? Is there a biological mechanism for the regulation of fluorine in the body, or is it simply poison? I've heard of ion channels in cells for potassium, sodium and chlorine, but not fluorine.
You know, I really , really wish these videos where around when I was a kid, but heck the internet just wasn't there when I was a kid and the first personal computers started showing up around the time I was 12-13. *sigh* Ah well, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the videos now :)
Hmm, anyone knows what happens when you add fluorine into water apart from making oxygen and ozone? Like, is it violent reaction almost explosive or calm reaction with small flame o.o
Long term double-blind studies have proven that fluoride in tooth-paste only delays the onset of tooth-decay by a few years but doubles it overall. There is actually a tooth-decay vaccine that was invented in the 90's using genetically modified tobacco plant extract that is applied onto the teeth. It works by promoting a type of harmless bacteria that prevent the harmful bacteria from multiplying. They soon swept that one under the rug to keep everybody on fluoride & buying toothpaste.
Other than Nickl, what are some other metals that theoretically be used as containers for Fluorine? I understand that Nickel Fluoride (which is the layer forming on the inside of Nickel containers for Fluorine) is one of the few fluorides that is stable in air, but could a metal such as Copper be used to store Fluorine?
Isnt the benefits of fluoride a myth. areas in America that do not have fluoride in water etc has better teeth than in other areas and in places where fluoride is used extensively teeth quality is worse than average. plus the fact that fluoride has been strongly linked with lowering cognitive ability (use at an early age can reduce your ability to learn at an older age) ... personally I'm fluoride free where I have the choice., but thanks for the great video.
@tasilbhurn Flourides are very beneficial in the quantities they put in toothpaste and drinking water as it hardens tooth enamel and makes it less soluble in acid (the proffesor explains the chemistry of it in a different video) However, excess amounts of flouride, it can actually soften the enamel. In africa, there are some tribes who live on volcanic soil which is high in levels of flouride salts and their teeth are so soft from the drinking water, they are able to cut their teeth into a point
@TheAllSeeingToe I've heard that too, but wasnt the 'benifits' of fluride origonaly put forth by aliminium foundaries and nucular processing plant researchers who needed to find a reason for selling it so they waste product. untill sometime in the 50's fluride was a controlled substance and illegal to posess even a tiny amount. also controlling the right ppm in flowing water is impossable.
@TheAllSeeingToe that tribe (im very aware of) and they do it to normal teeth, doesnt need to be soft, the girls do it because they think it is attractive. they normally perform it at or just after puberty, they often tell how it really hurts, in one case on film the mother who helped perform it sayed "she cried for days, but she is ok now". nothing to do with soft teeth, many unmodernised people have done it.
@tasilbhurn Well done, point well made there. I would find out more to completely make up my mind but theres flouride in the water all the time and no flouride free brands of toothpaste in Ireland so i'd rather just keep my blissful ignorance because theres nothing i can really do about using flourides :P On the other hand, Ireland has the shown up consistently in many studies as having very little tooth decay on average compared to other western counties such as the usa and we all use flouride
@pug6666 Why are Helium, Curium and Barium the medical elements........ Because if you can't helium, or curium Then you might well want to Barium. Chemist's are great at solving problems....... We hold all the solutions..... I think I'm going to hell for that last joke
@kitty6837 nice question! it'll burn it much vigorously, hogging all the electrons, or maybe one! If you see akail caesium with water, think of it as ten times worse. Flourine wants eight electrons, so it takes the extra electron an akali metal wants to give, and a happy family at last.. although u might not be with a blackened face -_-
Maybe I can't see it, but I can't believe they aren't using a hood. Fluorine and the products made during its reactions, especially with sulfur, are quite toxic...dangerous in the low ppm levels.
@Bubafat it is true that is toxic, but they dont need helmets because it is reacting with the other elements as soon as it got out, so it was not much harm. But if it were to come out over a long distance, chances are it will spread and under this condition, it is toxic.
@StarSpawn06 re-watch from 4:12, it does react with the metal, but once the surface is corroded, the remaining fluorine cant get to the rest of the metal
@StarSpawn06 well at some point they do pass it through a plastic tube actually, in the beginning when they freeze it, but i have absolutely no idea why it doesnt react with it, or maybe it does react, just really really slowly? dont know lol
Probably few knkows tihs, but PTFE a.k.a. Teflon, is a Flurorine based compound, and if heated to 260-280°C it starts to give off a very toxic gas, which may enter the food or be inhaled.
"Teflon-fever" is a phenomenon where some rolls a smoke after getting PTFE on their fingers somehow (heat vaporized PTFE), it can be like a very bad flue and hit almost instantly.
Fluorine is not healthy. The teeth need so little of it it is almost unbelievable.
I wonder what would happen if all of the halogens were reacted together at the same time (excluding astatine, which only exists as a few million atoms globally at any given second)
@geter14 That's not going to happen. Francium is in such trace amounts, it cannot be isolated and stored. Plus, it decays in minutes (Fr-223 has the longest half-life of francium isotopes, and its half life is still just 21.8 minutes). That being said, cesium with fluorine ought to be interesting.
@M1ST3RHYDE Pretty sure he was just wetting it with water. Like if your shower glass steams up, you can spray they shower water on it to clear it up again.
Wow, I have always been fascinated by #9 on the Table, but never seen it in action. These guys keep just getting better and better. Thank you for doing that!
hew, what reaction occurs between cesium and flourine? I know sodium is reactive with chlorine but what would cesium do if it were to be in touch with flourine?
I had HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) training this week.
When we got on the subject of corrosives, I mentioned your fluorine video. The instructor is familiar with your work, but had not seen this video. The next day, we saw the video in class. :)
My chemistry teacher, when he was MUCH younger and the rules for chemicals in schools were much looser, was once being shown liquid pure bromine (I think) by his teacher, and his hand slipped, and a drop landed on the webbing between his thumb and first finger. It burnt straight through.
@gigglepox you dont know any thing fluorine is reaactive i had a glass ampule of it and i encased it with steel wool and broke it and the steel woll caught on fire
you can't put flourine into a glass ampule...it reacts with water to produce HF which then etches the glass. thats why even on those periodic tables with pictures, you usually don't see an actual picture of flourine.
@jetsamjetsam They answer that in the video. It's the same reason we use Fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is an anion that has already filled the vacant orbital space with an electron. Fluorine gas is dangerous, but the Fluoride anion is safe and useful.
I love this series and the "mad scientist" looking fellow, but I'd like to see him try and justify putting sodium flouride in the public water supply.
@DevilMaster Oh really?So you swallow toothpaste?It's already been proven that there's no benefit to putting fluoride in drinking water.There have also been tests that say it has potential to cause cancer and other bodily harm. The nazis were the first to put fluoride in drinking water at concentration camps because it makes people docile which is why its used in pharmaceuticals like fluoexitine(prozac). I'm not some lunatic conspiracy theorist by the way do your own research if your unsure.
@lezsmokehaze420 It's inevitable to swallow a small amount of toothpaste every time you rinse your mouth after washing your teeth. And BTW: Godwin's law. You fail.
"which is why its used in pharmaceuticals like fluoexitine(prozac)"
Prozac's primary pharmacodynamic effects are due to the prescence of an amphetamine tail on the diphenhydramine backbone of the molecule, not the trifloruomethane moeity.
I have, thats why I think you might be a lunatic blah blah. BTW I didn't just 'research' anything, but have the degrees pre and post doc in biochemistry to back up my statements ... opposed to your answers.com or wikipedia derived answers

I think it's 100 ppm or something. Make sure of it, because I'm not sure. At about 9 ppm you can smell it. Or is it ppb?

@M1ST3RHYDE Pretty sure he was just wetting it with water. Like if your shower glass steams up, you can spray they shower water on it to clear it up again.

I was thinking Denatured Alcohol, Water should freeze on the glass.

hew, what reaction occurs between cesium and flourine? I know sodium is reactive with chlorine but what would cesium do if it were to be in touch with flourine?

I had HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) training this week.
When we got on the subject of corrosives, I mentioned your fluorine video. The instructor is familiar with your work, but had not seen this video. The next day, we saw the video in class. :)

My chemistry teacher, when he was MUCH younger and the rules for chemicals in schools were much looser, was once being shown liquid pure bromine (I think) by his teacher, and his hand slipped, and a drop landed on the webbing between his thumb and first finger. It burnt straight through.

@breakingstuff1 Ouch. I did that to my thumb once, and the bromine left a large, but beautifully cauterised wound.

@gigglepox you dont know any thing fluorine is reaactive i had a glass ampule of it and i encased it with steel wool and broke it and the steel woll caught on fire

@herpdude122
you can't put flourine into a glass ampule...it reacts with water to produce HF which then etches the glass. thats why even on those periodic tables with pictures, you usually don't see an actual picture of flourine.

and tell us why we have to DRINK FLUORIDE WATER

@jetsamjetsam because we are trying to kill or sterilize you so that you do not reproduce.

@jetsamjetsam They answer that in the video. It's the same reason we use Fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is an anion that has already filled the vacant orbital space with an electron. Fluorine gas is dangerous, but the Fluoride anion is safe and useful.

@jetsamjetsam Flouride is not the same thing as flourine. Flouride has an extra electron. So it's not as reactive anymore.

I love this series and the "mad scientist" looking fellow, but I'd like to see him try and justify putting sodium flouride in the public water supply.

@lezsmokehaze420 The reason is the same as for putting sodium fluoride in toothpaste.

@DevilMaster Oh really?So you swallow toothpaste?It's already been proven that there's no benefit to putting fluoride in drinking water.There have also been tests that say it has potential to cause cancer and other bodily harm. The nazis were the first to put fluoride in drinking water at concentration camps because it makes people docile which is why its used in pharmaceuticals like fluoexitine(prozac). I'm not some lunatic conspiracy theorist by the way do your own research if your unsure.

@lezsmokehaze420 It's inevitable to swallow a small amount of toothpaste every time you rinse your mouth after washing your teeth. And BTW: Godwin's law. You fail.

Yes, and so do you, and anyone who brushes their teeth

"which is why its used in pharmaceuticals like fluoexitine(prozac)"
Prozac's primary pharmacodynamic effects are due to the prescence of an amphetamine tail on the diphenhydramine backbone of the molecule, not the trifloruomethane moeity.
