  • I love these videos, though I think the camera work is pretty shoddy at times. Enough with the rapid zooms!!!

  • @NASCreations: Gosh sorry... I'll try harder in future.

  • I didn't know you were so responsive!!! Sorry for being so harsh. I guess I'm just jealous that you got to do this project when it's something I'd have loved to have done.

  • @NASCreations: What, you only critique the camera work of people who don't respond! :)

    We're grateful to everyone who watches and comments (as long as they are not offensive or inappropriate).

    Not everyone likes crash zooms and jump cuts! But I do for this project - and I came up with the idea so I get to do it! ha ha! :)

    Thanks for taking the time to watch anyway!

  • Actually the professor wasn't all that wrong in thinking Ruthenium was named after some place in Czechoslovakia. The very easternmost tip of Czechoslovakia was known as Carpathian Ruthenia (annexed by Ukraine after WWII). Interesting piece of territory actually.

  • 2:25 BEST TIE EVER!!!

  • I want a alcohol scented candle

  • @theguycalledchris

    I think that he was referring to tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride. It's sometimes called Rubipy or ruthenium bpy because of its chemical name [Ru(bipy)3]Cl2.

  • I want that tie!!!

  • Ok, who doesn't want a Vinegar scented Christmas Candle now?

  • PERIODIC TABLE videos give us a lot of information!

    I like ruthenium and its interesting coordination chemistry aspects!

    I wish a happy International Year of Chemistry 2011 for everybody!!

  • Is that a copy of Claydon and Greeves I spy in the background? Nick Greeves taught me organic chemistry :P
