  • think i feel asleep watching this........

  • Thanks, Argon.

    Thargon.

  • this is kinda outdated ?

  • Yes the song is cute but of little educational value since the elements are listed in a random order. Somebody should come up with an equally good song in which the elements occur in order of increasing atomic number. Overall an excellent video as one would expect from the BBC.

  • The song is 'The Elements' by Tom Lehrer. Lots of information can be found in the wikipedia article 'The Elements (song)'.

  • this sucks...no offense

  • @pranavarora1995 K melts itself into a ball because it's rotating violently. Li doesn't.

    Also, why the hell isn't Rhenium, Technetium, Francium, Polonium, Promethium or like half of the Actinides on there? They were all discovered.

  • I couldn't find that pottasium reacted more violently with water than lithium in

    the experiment....

  • daniel radcliffe did this on the graham norton show!
