Ytterbium - Periodic Table of Videos

What better way to update our video about Ytterbium than to visit the very place where it was discovered - Ytterby in Sweden. More about all the elements (and our Ytterby road trip) can be found at our main website http://www.periodicvideos.com/

The applications part was especially interesting! Thank you once again for your efforts and for the brilliant videos!

[periodicvideos]

You're welcome.

We're trying to be different and not simply an "encyclopedia"... and there are plenty of other sources for people who want to know about the applications of each element.

However plenty of you seem interested in this and want to see more about applications... so we'll try to do more of it.

Hi guys! Even though i am not a chemist i love the videos you are doing, really great work. May I ask what happened to the usual chemistry professor?

Great to hear from you guys... There seems to be plenty of interest in the elements over there in Romania. Maybe we'll work on some Romanian captions soon!?

This series just keeps getting better and better. Thank you. I hope you never stop. :)

im doing research on this element! :D what a great resource! :D

I saw this element in the periodic table in high school, and I never knew what it was or what it was used for, I'm a computer engineer, it was interesting to see that it's in capacitors. I'll definitely go through some other elements that I'm not familiar with on your periodic table website later, perhaps there are some other elements that I don't know about that help the electronics industry, aside from the obvious ones like silicon, germanium, and copper.

Fantastic job! These videos are a wonderful way to learn about the elements and I just want to express my gratitude. Thanks!

Yep, it's nice to hear about the applications. This is one of your most informative element videos so far, well done!

Hey. I'm doing this for a science project that's why I looked it up on youtube. haha. This is a very good video. Thank you for the video. =] And you probably researched on it a lot! I only learned about half as much as you did. lol

lol, at 2.15 the subitle says ''abandoned'' instead of ''ABUNDANT''

[behnnie]

I know nothing about chemistry but I *love* these videos and enjoy learning something new from each and every one of them! Though I must confess the primary thing I seem to be learning is that I'd love to marry a chemist... :S

...And one isotope is used as a nuclear source in portable X-ray machines where electricty is unavailable
