Our Friend the Atom 1 of 5 - The Fisherman and the Genie

im happy i'm not the only one laughing at the guy walking around with uranium... i wonder if he's alive or how gruesomely he died.

Remember, radiation poisoning is an ACCUMULATION, over time. Uranium (boy does HE say it weird or what?) 238 (normally found in nature) isn't instantly deadly, like Radium. U235 & plutonium are much more deadly, but still not instant.
In the early 1900s they had lots of badly concieved Radium-based 'health' devices & medicines that over time killed or maimed lots of people! Google it for some really bad stuff! I loved the xray shoe-fitter! Massive dose of xrays to see your foot thru the shoe

lol i saw this in class bout 3 weeks back :p

why are you guys talking about carbon its just so funny watching a guy walking around with a fuckin uranium block in his hand

Uranium is only slightly radioactiv. Holding it in hands is completly safe. You can even walk around with plutonium which is waaaaay more radioactive, as long as you don't use it permanently as a hand warmer and if you wash your hands after. Guys really EVERYTHING around you is radioactive.

and yes i know what a molecule is ..

i must be mistaken then, i thought you mean that the molecule dont have an atom.

WTF are u retarded??? CO2 is not an atom u moron its a molecule....molecules dont have atomic numbers ...


didnt u even finnish gradeschool??? this shit is like 7th grade chemistry....


and firemen only use co2 to put out fires since co2 is a stable molecule ....so putting it on a flame will stop it..

if u where to use carbon u would just make it worse,..pure carbon is basicly COAL ...

jesus where did u learn chem...

A molecule is a combination of two or more atoms bonded together. For example, a molecule of water (designated by the symbol H2O) consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom which are in a "relationship" — held together by an electric attraction.

wtf does this have anything to do with what i said?

some idiot said co2 is just C with a diff atomic number ...co2 is a difference substance from c ....
