Fluorine (version 1) - Periodic Table of Videos

[fisterB]

big hair day

[FrozenHaxor2]

Oh god professor mixed it up too much, didn;t understood anything :(

[luxollidd]

damn where can i get that detailed periodic table?

[100artem]

Good morning,my name is Artem Elkin(Russia, Siberia). I am the manager of development firm's "INTERFTOR". I want to ask:

When i can to find internet a resource, on there is list of companies in Silicon vallie.

[ReaperAHHH]

@100artem i own many companies

[Onlyabreathaway]

@BoomerSniper Yea, and it made me homicidal!!! (no, I didn't kill my husband after all!) lol!

[polarkangaroo]

as other people have pointed out, oxygen is electropositive with respect to fluorine. Fluoride has a -1 charge. The product, O2F2 (at least he got this part right) has oxygen in a +1 state of charge. Oxide is O-2, so it is clearly not an oxide (-2), peroxide (-1 per O), nor is it oxygen gas. I'm not sure what it is- I seem to recall it is Dioxygenyl fluoride =)

[skBundy]

@polarkangaroo O2F2: Not "dioxygenyl" Fluoride:::..:::, the O2+ cation has a valence of +1 [O2BF4, O2SbF6]. And this is the cationic peroxid's analogue: O2+2 instead O2-2... so it has to be just Dioxygen Difluoride or Oxygen (I) Fluoride

[ScottSkye9500]

fluorine is my fav element!

[PersianElite95]

Lol he looks like Albert Einstein! ;)

[Acer353]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!



[EPICGUYDUDE]

but the fluorine will "eat" the material in your "apparatus"

[Panthera0nca]

The guy's hair reminds me of Spagna.

[Brillmongot]

I think Professor is a pretty cool guy, eh makes FOOF and doesn't afraid of anything.

[kalus732142825]

good afro !:-D

[imaball]

4 year old asking if there was HF in water wow . he is going to be a amazing chemist if he is already learning at 4

[KarbineKyle]

Very interesting! That apparatus looks a lot like a Hoffman Apparatus, (which is used in H2O electrolysis) to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water using DC voltage. I want to get one, I've found and made a lot of crazy things since I got into science since I was about 4... Now, I'm gonna be 26 soon... It's amazing how you can just learn and learn continuously... Nice Video! I like it! Keep up the good work! 5/5!

[EezyMacaroni]

you can make it into a bong.

Smoke out of it. Let the flourine react with your lungs. Get a brand new lease on life.

[wolfcrapshit]

Man he is a old afro!

Nice one

[stonerj0e]

so why does the city add it to the drinking water ?

[Grundalizer]

they add the reduced form of flourine, known as Flouride (F-). A flourine ion with a single negative charge. Flouride is important because it replaces a hydroxyl group in the hydroxylapatite mineral crystal in enamel, producing flouroapatite, which is less likely to react with the lactic acid produced by bacteria in your mouth after a sugary drink. It basically makes your teeth less prone to cavities

[Strideo1]

They don't, not in it's pure form obviously. They add sodium fluoride or something like that which in small amounts helps prevent cavities. It is not corrosive in that chemical form.

Hydrofluoric acid on the other hand certainly wouldn't be good for your teeth. xD

[Cathain78]

In1925, McCollum, Symonds, Becker & Bunting fed rats on a diet containng flourine which displayed "peculiar degenerative dental changes".

The mottling found in teeth of people drinking water with natural flouride was found to have a measurable hardening effect. However this took the form of organo-fluorines and not inorganic Sodium Flouride which was previously only a toxic waste product from the aluminium industry. All flourides are toxic to humans The fatal dose of Sodium Flouride is 5-10 g

[jimbobg65]

@stonerj0e They fluoridate water supplies so they can use the human body as a filtering and storage mechanism, due to the fact the toxic waste by-products (fluorides) from the phosphate fertiliser industry can't be dumped very effectively. If they were trickled off into the oceans at much lesser concentrations, it would be classified as an environmental disaster. Hexafluorosilicic Acid and Disodium Hexafluorosilicate (H²SiF6 and Na²SiF6) are both extremely toxic to all forms of life.

[JehuMcSpooran]

@stonerj0e it's fluoride that they add, not fluorine. They add it to keep your teeth healthy, apparently

[stonerj0e]

they should add prozac too while they are at it for mental health !

[oneirozzz]

i wana know what else is in his cupboard..

[Literallogicz]

was there HF in the water! LOL smartass kid......

[slonamu]

I need to get me some florine or better hidrogenfloride. No, not for mother mother in law. Please do not asume that...

[you238]

Grammar: 1/10

Spelling: 0/10

You fail at the English language.

[fattymattyweasel]

@you238 Who are you referring to?

[juggliac]

If you update any videos soon, I think it should be this one if there's any more to be said... I'd really like to know more about flourine and this video is so short.

[liquidoxygen0]

I've got a little correction. Fluorine is meant to be a yellow or brown gas rather than being green; that's Chlorine's colour he might be thinking of.

[liquidoxygen0]

I always thought Caesium or Francium would be the most reactive?

[deathdrako]

They are the ones with a very low electronegativity therefore will allow them to react very easily by lossing electrons on the other hand flourine has the highest electronegativity therefore taking very easily the electrons.

[oOoxelAoOo]

Not really, Fluorine is so electronegative that it'll react with pretty much anything rather violently, including glass, Chlorine and even some of the noble gases (ie Xenon). Caesium and the like are just the most reactive of the alkali metals.

[philsaspiezone]

Fluorine has the highest Pauling electronegativity of 4 compared to Oxygen being 3.5 so a compund of oxygen and fluorine as mentioned could be called an oxygen fluoride as oxygen is less electronegative than fluorine. Hydrogen fuoride also forms hydrogen bonds and boils at around 19 C due to its hydrogen bonding which is formed by the high electronegativity of fluorine with the low electronegativity of hydrogen.

[Assi2004]

right, it has to be oxygenfluoride and not the oxide of fluorine

[pepsibookcat]

OK, that story about his son is too adorable! Geek family! Yeah!

[BushmenKing]

He forgot to mention Teflon!!! :D

[bustincapz]

i was told that oxygen was the most reactive element >8(

[RavnoUK]

Fluoride has higher electronegativity.

[bustincapz]

oh ok then peace <8)

[tibinsaid]

Why don't you make a clip showing fluorine reactivity? I know fluorine all to well but if you take some precautions you can show us some very interesting reactions which could only be performed in the lab. For example, reaction with carbon, heated copper or even H2. :) Thank you! I think this would be amazing because no one can purchase and play with F2 at home. So it would be really exotic. Thank you Professor; I am waiting for an answe... ;)

[silentelysium]

As the Professor said, fluorine is a very reactive element, thus it is a very dangerous element for you to play around with. H2, carbon and some of the other experiments were ok to demonstrated because the reactions can be controlled in that sort of environment. Fluorine, however, maybe so reactive that it's hard to control it's reaction with O2 or water.

[tibinsaid]

??? What? It would be really cool to show us at least one reaction. Or perhaps they don't have F2? That would be funny :))

[Draxis32]

02F2 wow!

I though the only element that Fluorine didnt react was oxygen, but seems that i was wrong.

[stfuandleavemealone3]

exactly!!!

[daelectricflower]

lol "did the witch have HF?"

[stfuandleavemealone3]

Fluorine my favorite element of all

[dabuddha669]

why? its an evil highly electronegative piece of shit thats in our water and toothpaste to cause cancer and dementia and other shit.

[SoldierFrontJunky]

makes our teeth strong :D!

[nintendowns]

wow... let me ask, did you by any chance swallow the toothpaste?

[TemplarLucas]

That's fluoride, not fluorine. Different chemical properties than pure fluorine gas. Makes a good disinfectant.

Aso, last I checked, Oxygen was pretty high on the electronegativity "scale."

[dabuddha669]

yea, fluoride is good at disinfecting bc of its electronegativity. oxygen is lower than fluoride as far as electronegativity and o2 isn't good for us. why do you think antioxidants are good for us? oxygen is a free radical too, just not as bad as fluoride.

[TemplarLucas]

Oxygen atoms can become free radicals if certain criteria are met, but oxygen isn't always a free radical. Often times free radicals are created when something like ultraviolet radiation knocks an electron off of an oxygen atom, causing it to rip a replacement electron from another molecule, such as DNA. That's how free radicals can be harmful.

Fluoride doesn't really have this opportunity, since it passes through the system quickly, and isn't readily absorbed by cells.

[TemplarLucas]

Additionally, I'd say that oxygen is quite good for us, being necessary for our existance and all.

[dabuddha669]

haha yea. but i was referring to it being a free radical. fluoride does have this opportunity and forms harmful bonds with carbon that are carcinogenic. i dont fully understand te process (obviously) but ik in drinking water the fluoride can be harmful.

[TemplarLucas]

Truthfully, I think you're at greater risk of developing cancer from daily sunlight exposure than from fluoride compounds, especially since the concentrations in water are so minuscule.

That, and I'd say the pathogens fluoride kills are a greater health risk than the chemical itself in drinking water concentrations.

[silentelysium]

They say having fluoride in the water is good for the teeth hence a lot of dentists claim it's best not to remove it in the water mains.

[zeropointprophet]

wow this guy is the total stereotype of the crazy scientist

[GalilxG3]

Your scale looks like a bong.

[MariusSemeonOrtiz]

By the way, how come you can't get 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane?

I was reading about organic reactions on wikipedia and noticed that all C2H2F4 was 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and I can't find any info. on 1,1,2,2-.... This leads me to believe that it doesn't exist or can't be made. If so, why is this??

[chris536343]

I'm pretty sure fluorine's actually a pale yellow/brown gas

[polonium9]

poliakoff is a genius I CAN SEE IT IN HIS HAIR

[luiza2166]

OMG I love his hair - reminds me of Einstein.

[fetrug]

-"is the most reactive element"-

Isn't that Francium?

[jeremiahswee]

francium hasnt been isolated in large enough quantities. and no, cesium isnt more reactive either.

[fetrug]

Did I write that Cesium was more reactive? I apologize.

[MariusSemeonOrtiz]

Yeah, like he says, Francium is very rare, and in any case, I know it would be extremely reactive with water but not sure if it would otherwise.

[slateflash]

I thought it was pale yellow?

[ManlySlut]

Chlorine is yellow.

Fluorine isn't actually very visible, but by looking at the trend, it's obviously green.

I purple

Br red

Cl yellow

F green

[ManlySlut]

Fluorine -- pale green

Chlorine -- pale yellow

Bromine -- dark red

Iodine -- dark purple

I'm guessing Astatine would be dark blue.

[AdultmentSystem]

thatd be sick

[r0galik]

I guess it would be dark white :P

[Galv140577]

If I may draw on your chemical expertise anyone, could you tell me how to safely remove hexafluorosilicic acid from drinking water?

[artman40]

I actually saw a picture of visible fluorine. I was impressed about a text explaining how hard it is to put fluorine into a transparent container.

[Galv140577]

Yeah JoeCfb it's funnier than brain damage, bone cancer, dental fluorosis, ulcers, and many other scientificly proven adverse health effects caused by water supply fluoridation. I am only one of millions of "nutjobs", many of whom are highly qualified, who know a lot more than you care to know about the grim reality of this situation. It's sad that you are amused by the hypnotically induced belief that this is just a "theory".

Go on google and research the facts!!

[865951]

Galv, it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, the point is you have a hilariously inept grasp of basic chemistry and couldn't debate your way out of a shoe box if you tried. Just unplug your keyboard and stop embarrassing yourself.

[Galv140577]

No 865951 that is not the point and yes I am right. The EPA's maximum safe limit for mercury contamination in water is set to 2 ppb (parts per billion), but fluoride is more toxic than mercury and the safety limit is set at 4000 ppb!! There is as much fluoride in a cup of tap water as there is in a gram of toothpaste. You don't swallow toothpaste because fluoride is poisonous. Can't you see the wrong in that? They are forcing fluoridation on people against their will.

Why? To reduce their I.Q.

[LucyiX]

Fluorune is in the toothpaste!

[Galv140577]

He said it "dissolves human flesh". This is what the government adds to your water supply.

[GeekOfDeath2]

Sorry, that would be chloride.

[Galv140577]

No choride is what they use in swimming pools to keep them clean. The world's governments put sodium fluoride, and in some places hydro-fluosilic acid in your drinking water. It's more toxic than lead, more toxic than mercury even, yet they still poison us with it just like the nazis who were the 1st to fluoridate water supplies. This is to sterilise, dumb down and weaken the population for them to control more easily. They aim to reduce the population by 90%. Do a google on "fluoridation".

[papapapaddy]

" Galv140577

He said it "dissolves human flesh". This is what the government adds to your water supply. "

'Have you ever seen a Russian drink water? No... no, they drink vodka...'

Have you ever seen Dr Strangelove..?

Hey Galv, what you're saying is rhubarb. Minerals are pretty much all poisonous in large doses - you still eat iron, which is toxic in large doses (produces free radicals, which makes it carcogenic). It doesn't stop fluorine from giving us all healthy teeth and bones...

[Galv140577]

WAKE UP Papapapaddy you total waste of space. Why spread the dangerously misleading lie that this deadly poison is good for teeth and bones? Do you believe that just because you are getting the equivalent of a lethal dose gradually every year in your water supply that it wont harm you? Would you do that with lead, or mercury? Fluoride is more toxic than those. It accumulates. It is not at all like iron. There's a big difference between minerals and toxic waste. Google this: "fluoride causes".

[Galv140577]

papapapaddy you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Let me give you some advice, SHUT UP. Fluoride is NOT a mineral, it's toxic waste. Iron is theraputic in small doses and iron defficiency causes illness where as Fluorine is NOT theraputic in small doses and having no fluoride ever does NOT cause illness. What you are saying is designed to promote the distribution of deadly poison in our water supplies. Why don't you prove how good it is for you by eating a tube of toothpaste?

[papapapaddy]

Quote, Galv140577: "you obviously have no idea what you are talking about."

Quote, Galv140577: "Fluoride and fluorine are the same thing"

I'm sure there's something fundamentally different between an element and it's ion, mate. Namely a different number of electrons.

Perhaps iron was a bad example, letting you use other metals as examples... instead take the halides. The closest example to fluoride is chloride, which the body needs to maintain the metabolism, the nervous system etc....

[Galv140577]

yes papapapaddy the body does need choride NOT fluoride. The difference is one is good for you at "recommended" dosages, where as the other is not. It's "recommended" by rogue health organisations run by the same people who instigate and profit from wars which they finance all sides of. They say "no side effects were reported", meaning they didn't bother to report the very real side effects, or "failed to substantiate" meaning failed to bother substantiating the fact that fluoride is poison.

[papapapaddy]

(Oh, and I wouldn't eat concentrated hydrochloric acid, either...)

[Galv140577]

The MAJORITY of people DO NOT WANT their water fluoridating, and those who think it's a good idea don't realise that they have been deliberately mislead by those who use it as a designer poison to make us their slaves. It was first used by Nazis in the concentration camps to make the holocaust victims easier to dominate. You should research this before you go repeating the bullshit you've bought.

[JoeCfb]

That's the funniest conspiracy theory I've ever heard. You're a nutjob.

[ianberke]

no thats fluoride

[Galv140577]

Fluoride and fluorine are the same thing, what's in toothpaste is sodium fluoride, the salt form of fluorine. Still poisonous. A gram or two would be lethal if ingested.

[YoodellyHoo]

Fluoride and fluorine are not the same thing. There is a difference between atoms and ions, elements and compounds. One also has take into account the reactivity of the compounds that are formed and the different ways they act in the body. In this context saying mercury is more poisonous than fluorine and quoting ppm allowed in drinking water is fairly relative. Be wary of googling stuff and taking it as gospel - one needs a certain amount of applied knowledge to make sense of the results.

[Galv140577]

Sodium fluoride, as used in toothpaste, rat poison, and to fluoridate water supplies, is very toxic and very poisonous. It's actually very bad for teeth. Bathing in fluoridated water will harm you. Ingesting sodium fluoride will harm you. Dentists make more money when people have more dental problems. People who can't think clearly are easier to con. People who have problems are more likely to buy the offered solutions. The source of many peoples problems is not knowing they have been decieved.

[Plutonwolf]

One great 'tell' of the toxicity and general unaturalness of fluoride compounds is the inability of sewer treatment systems to handle drugs such as Prozac. Prozac just passes through the process untouched and is building up in our streams and rivers.

One other telling point is to do a little research into the group that did much of the initial research into the uses of fluoride compounds.

Hint: Think Swastika.

[Galv140577]

Thanks plutonwolf. Isn't it annoying when people defend water fluoridation and quote the endlessly repeated lies that "fluoride is harmless" and "good for teeth", without realising that they are being decieved and that by repeating this bullshit to others they are making the problem worse. People need to realise that their government hates them. Holocausts and wars are deliberate. Can't they see that any compound that contains the fluorine ion is harmful because it makes the compund so reactive?

[Plutonwolf]

Heh. There is a debate still ongoing. I know where I stand and I know where you stand. But the other folks have a right to their opinion so long as it isn't shoved down our throat....literally. If people want to use fluoride compounds, let them. They can buy fluoride enhanced toothpaste and hell, if it was taken out of municipal water supplies, I bet some sharpie would sell bottled fluoride water. Isn't free choice what America is really all about anyway?

[Galv140577]

The question is who needs defending the most, the fertilizer industry who needs to ilegally dump it's extremely hazardous toxic waste in our drinking water because they can't think of anywhere better to put it, or the billions of innocent unaware people who know no better than to trust their water supplier and absorb it into their bodies and get cancer from it and have deformed babies, brain damage, and an endless list of other nasty illnesses?

[Plutonwolf]

The true root question is why do they do this. The efficacy of fluoride supplementation is in doubt, it's expensive, it's dangerous both to the consumer and to the provider, and it's controversial. Yet, they plow ahead, eyes down, horns out like some stubborn beast. I just don't understand what the bottom line for them is unless it is like the conspiracy theorists insist, they want to deliberately sicken us....but not too much, gotta keep the esnes at their posts.

[bugblood1978]

Exactly, why would they do it? I did look into it abit, because a bloke at work is always boring us about conspiracys and the like. I cant see any real evidence of its danger in the amounts we consume, but also there doesnt seem to be much benefit although there is some. Its mostly a by product of heavy industry, so i should imagine its a cheaper way for them to unload it, as it costs alot to dispose of it safely into the enviroment. So i suppose we are acting as filters for heavy industry.

[tomandjj]

you don't realize what your up against here mate I can get a massive team of biochemists to sit you down in a room and show you exactly how hexafluorosilicic acid (what they use to fluoridate water) affects the biology of every single part of your body and you will walk out of that room seeing that what you claim is so ridiculous. and btw hexafluorosilicic acid is completely harmless in its dilute form.

[Galv140577]

I do realise what I'm up against here tomandjj & if what you say is true where's the proof? There's plenty of proof to suggest that what I'm saying is not ridiculous at all, it's proven fact. What I find ridiculous is people who defend water fluoridation, which is so very wrong for many reasons. It's against the will of the vast majority of people(victims), the dosage varies drasticly from person to person, the affects on every part of the body are detrimental, it causes cancer, brain damage...

[Galv140577]

BULLSHIT!!!!!!

you can get a massive team of biochemists?

NO YOU CAN'T. LIAR!!!

Hexafluorosillic acid IS HARMFUL EVEN IF DILUTED.

YOU LYING BULLSHIT REPEATING MORON GO AWAY.

[Galv140577]

OI tomandjj I bet you are one of those types who believe the official version of the events that transpired on sept.11th. oh and btw Hexafluorosilicic acid(H2SiF6) releases hydrogen fluoride when evaporated, so it has similar risks. It is corrosive and may cause fluoride poisoning; inhalation of the vapors may cause lung edema. Like hydrogen fluoride, it attacks glass and stoneware. If you dilute it you get a smaller amount & smaller effect, but the effect itself is the same: poisoning.

[Galv140577]

They only recently started using hexafluorosilicic acid to fluoridate water because they know that people are defluoridating the water by distilling it. Distilling evapourates the water to leave sodium fluoride behind as a salt, while the steam condenses back into clean water. Hexafluorosilicic acid is much nastier however as it will disolve the equiptment you use to clean your water, as well as your bones. Diluting it only reduces the negative effect it does not make the effect positive.

[Plutonwolf]

The problem is long term cumulative damage. The biochemists will tell you that. 

Another problem with hydro or hexafluorosilicic acid is the amazing ease of accidental or negligental overdosing and that has extremely nasty results. The real solution is to allow people the right to chose for themselves by taking it out of the water supply and letting folks choose a fluoride supplement toothpaste if that is their choice.

[musl2009]

Do you know what household items contain dysprosium,bromine, and boron? i really need help with it. For each element i need three household items that i can display.I will really appreciate it if anyone can help me out a bit.

[hydroxynitro]

Hydrogen fluoride could also dissolve glass.

[Plutonwolf]

If that apparatus was specifically meant for Florine generation then it is made from florides. They are the only substances that can withstand exposure to Florine.

[CyberaxIzh]

Nitpick:

OF2 is not "fluorine oxide", it's "oxygen fluoride". That's right, oxygen is _oxidized_ by fluorine :)

[kairi768]

I'm fairly sure that since it's a covalent bond, it's "oxygen difloride". :/

[spannerbutton]

Some of these post are from idiots!

[absscabs]

his four year ol son knows about chemicals?

[Thedutchjelle]

With a father like that I'm not suprised.

[theguycalledchris]

I know, I'd LOVE him to be my dad... It'd be so cool having a scientist for a dad and learning all about science at an early age

[deathdealer0902]

i bet that thing he's holding can be converted to a crack pipe lol :)

[EmbersOfEden]

I'm wondering if his son has an afro too. XD That'd be so awesome.

[heartlikemetronomes]

Lmao about what his four-year-old son said about the Wizard of Oz!

[sciencoking]

he asked if there was Hydrogen fluoride in the water

[runescapingvids]

dude im loving the afro.

[archaedemos]

so i am wondering if there is any problem with flouride in our water and most toothpastes?

[jtoksa]

> so i am wondering if there is any problem

> with flouride in our water and most

> toothpastes?

The fluoride in toothpaste is sodium fluoride (or some other compound) which is not highly reactive like elemental fluoride.

[deathcrunch]

I agree with the other guy and it's the same with most elements. Even the calcium in your teeth and bones is highly explosive in water but the things you buy over the counter are never anything to worry about no an elemental level.

[TomAllenUK]

Hahahaa was there HF in the water. Pure Genious.

Bye Bye Wicked Witch

[othertopics]

Holy shoot...

You have awesome hair.

[GingleGangle1]

O2F2? Never heard of that.

[TurangaBLEU]

Hydrofluoric acid does not burn the skin severely, but does pass through flesh and dissolves the bones below.

[AlmightScoop]

Yeah. It was uses a while ago for cleaning metals. My dad knew a guy who got some on his hand. One morning, he put his hand against his dresser to push himself out of bed and his wrist snapped. He eneded up having his arm amputated. Messed up.

[CharlieBBoy12345]

i'd be interested in these experts' view on flouridation in water
