  • The professor should write a book. It could be called " Meeting of Elements: My adventures in the Periodic Table." I will be a customer as I am sure will also be many of your subscribers

  • Osmium is very interesting... It's a silvery-bluish metal, and I collect minerals, gems, metals, etc. I would like to find a sample. He mentioned it has a strong smell, well "Osme" in Greek means "Smell". In natural abundance, about 42% of it is radioactive and some have extremely long half-lives. I believe it decays by double beta minus decay. It's also the 10th metal to have the highest melting point. It is also the most dense of the natural elements, 2X that of Lead. I want to get a sample!

  • @DazIOM1140 i dunno about that although if it reacts with oxygen which is part of the air maybe it could've reacted with something else along the way but i think chances of that might be 50-50

  • @omichron420 but how can you do that when it just reacts with the oxygen?

  • @DazIOM1140 you break the vile?

  • why didn't this mention the haber process?

  • How do you get it out of the vile in order to use it for experiments?

  • Why is it that scientists have the same crazy haircut...

  • @johagla elements 105 to 109.
