Very nice to see Yuri Oganessian again in a video. He looks very friendly. It must be amazing to be the only person alive having a chemical element named after you.
@@tomt7028 I can say for 10 with my highschool knowledge that the nuclei of Neon fits the magic number series and is very stable. Dunno about the other 95, would like someone more knowledgeable to help.
@Richard Joyce I just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding since people still believe weed makes you trip due to misinformation amongst people who haven't used or researched drugs. In retrospect, I believe you meant to say psychoactive substances, and I more or less agree with the argument you have made. Cheers
i love the fact that there is never an end to the scope and depth of knowledge regarding these elements, no doubt that's why chemistry is an evergreen field.
I agree with the professor. Science, scientists and science enthusiasts are going to have to be the ambassadors between cultures and even within cultures as the world becomes more and more polarized along political and social lines. It's gotten so uncompromising and outright insane that we need more cool, logical, and especially humble minds. And there is no other profession with more humility than science.
He needs to be investigated for election tampering! Prof. is a Putin puppet. This call for science to bring us together is just Russian influenced propaganda to sway our elections to the far-right.
Agreed. It's a noble profession, and the most noble stance in general, starting from a position where one admits: "I know that I don't know," then working hard to find knowledge, and even better, to share it.
Well, sounds nice. A first step would be to take away prizes, especially the Nobel prize. Once all these humble scientists recognise that there's a likely discovery to be made, I'm afraid the humility is rather squashed by the race for glory. I understand that the discoveries represent a lifetimes work by the discoverer, frequently requiring a level of intuition and intelligence beyond the comprehension of mere mortals like me, and I too instinctively want to recognise their achievement. But the glory I want to bestow is a cause of great friction in the scientific process, and it would be better if I never got to bestow it, really - if we truly believe that big advances can only be made by cooperation. And perhaps the race for glory is a bit less glorious in those fields that simply require a huge investment of money, typically from the state, to determine the winner - I'm looking at you, transuranic element fabrication and you, particle physics. It's very interesting, but in the end neither Seaborg nor Organessian really 'discovered' Dubnium - they just made it according to a recipe devised by other physicists - brighter men as far as I'm concerened.
Yeah, I'm not too interested in these short-lived heavy elements. What can you do with an element (Dubnium) that must be synthesized, yet only has a 32 hour half life?
Dubnium was named after dubstep and was invented the first time someone dropped the bass. They also realized it starts being self-propagating at 105 decibels, particularly in auditoriums with a large excess of laser beams and smoke haze.
Dubnium was the last element known to the writers of the book I used when I did GCSE Chemistry (in the second cycle of GCSEs) - though they referred to it as hahnium then. Some of the periodic tables we had included rutherfordium, under the name kurchatovium. Elements up to meitnerium had been discovered by then, but of course no names were actually decided for them until some years later. I am not at all surprised rutherfordium was so named - it was Rutherford that first showed atoms to be mutable - and it is likely that dubnium's name was agreed as a "trade". Now, of course, we can get an element named after the source of one part of the experiment - livermorium being an example.
When I was studying chemistry, the last element on the periodic tables was element 103 Lawrencium, the last actinides, symbol Lw than changed to Lr. It also was subject of a dispute between USA scientists and USSR scientists - on who discovered it first. The IUPAC gave the credit to the US scientists. In the late '90 they changed mind, and split the credit for the discovery of Lawrencium among the two groups. Thanks for the video, very appreciated...
What I find fascinating about Dubnium is that its longest-lived known isotope is much more stable than its neighbours in the periodic table but it's an odd-number element.
@Michael Nope, the stability of an element as nothing to do with electrons, it is purely a nuclear phenomenon (plus, the relativistic effect of the electrons would be more or less the same between Dubnium 268/270 and its neighbors). And like the op said, it is very strange to see a nucleus that have an odd number of protons AND an odd number of neutron to be more stable than any other proton/neutron combination neighboring (in fact the odd/odd combination is typically so unstable that there are only four odd/odd combinations that are completely stable : 2H, 6Li, 10B and 14N although the 50V has and extremely long lifespan) But we can observe that these two isotopes have a number of proton and neutron close to semi-magic numbers (106 and 164 compared to 105 protons and 163/165 neutrons) which give the nucleus a little more stability. And given the fact that the typical nuclear shell model that is use to describe and predict the stability of nuclei doesn't apply very well due to the huge number of side effects a nucleus of this size have, it could indeed be that the global effect of 105 protons and a number close to 164 neutrons could be particularly stabilizing, i don't know if there are studies about this stability
@ tesseract: There are a few cases in which the stability and half-life of an isotope are influenced by the presence/absence of orbital electrons. Bound state beta decay and the inhibition of electron capture in some fully stripped nuclei are observed.
Really glad that while i'm trying really hard to understand the main point of this vid but ending up distracted by his amazing periodic table tie. I'm trying. I really am.
Cue UB40... "Me tek a "D" and a "U" an' a "B" not "E" That thing there is special to me. Me synth it in the morning, also in the night For dat form of element is out-a-sight. The newest form of element is easy to see It start with a "'D" and end with a "'B" Dubnium in a de morning and Dubnium in a de night Mek the whole neighborhood feel alright, Feel alright"
But ultimately the scientists showed that they cared more about establishing the truth than getting the credit for it by reaching an agreement on the name. I have great respect for all the physicists at both Berkeley and at Dubna for all their impressive work in pushing forward the boundaries of our knowledge of the universe.
Greetings from Venezuela (Beautiful country, nice people but shitty dictatorship)... Thanks a lot to the team.!!! Many Blessings. I was waiting for your new video. Nice to see the good professor and learn from him. Best 8 minutes of the whole month.

"..the relativistic effects caused by the electrons traveling at very high speeds..." Professor! You can't just throw that out to us of smaller minds like that! I never thought of electons having "speeds" but as being in quantum states. My old textbooks don't cover this topi at all. This needs a video all its own.
Well, when you "disturb" the electron you can talk about speed. Plus keep in mind that all of this is just models. The professors is just choosing the model that allows him to do the most straightforward explaination.
I have always had a problem with the idea that these heavy elements do "exist" because they "survived" for a very short time before desintegrating. It's like saying "I successfully grafted a human head on a dog ! the hybrid survived for 3 seconds !!!"... And 3 seconds is much longer than most of these heavy elements will ever know.
Sometimes it's just about pushing the boundaries. It's like having to calculate millions upon millions of digits of Pi even though we aren't possibly going to need more than 40 of them. You can discover something in the process or create tools to do it that can be used for something more practical in the future.
Your comment literally took less than a second to reach TH-cam's comment system once you hit reply. In that time a truly absurd amount of instructions were collectively executed by an absurd amount of devices to create the packets, fill them in, transmit them, verify they weren't too badly damaged, decoded, submitted into TH-cam's comment system, parsed by an automated system for various legitimate and not so legitimate purposes, had a few bits controlling permissions flipped to allow it to be viewed by others and a ton of other steps I'm leaving out to keep it simple (and because I don't know the entire process). A lot can happen in less than a second, our perception of time really puts us at a disadvantage.
It's early and I haven't had my coffee yet. But.. 1) @ 7:38 Mr. Bean monitoring product placement of the meetings sponsor. 2) US and Russian scientists fighting over over dib's on dub's. And finally 3) Discovery of Dubnium leads to trends in excessively large expensive wheels known as dubs.
Usually, alpha decays are used to characterize heavy elements. Gammas are quite a bit harder to measure, you need precise energies to identify and it's harder to identify elements at low statistics. Alphas have the advantage that it's always two protons and two neutrons, they are emitted at monoenergetic bands, detection is moderately easy and with a series of decays you can very certainly identify the nucleus that the chain originated from. Fortunately the superheavies mostly decay by alpha emission and don't fission or beta decay.
Sir your son is my physics teacher. I wasnt sure if this was just a coincidence but it isnt. He teaches in dame alice owens. I have watched your videos for so long and never knew.

Wow, four years and nobody answered. -um and -ium are the latin suffixes for neutral nominative, that is a name (subject of a sentence) of neutral gender (usually, a thing). In Italian, for the same reason, all these elements end in -o or -io, the masculine suffix (Italian language doesn't have neutral gender)
Israel Rodriguez You can't tell how bad the acting is in the original audio because you can't understand what they're saying. You're spending more time reading subtitles than you are watching the anime.
*Starting Chemistry:* This isn’t so bad *Learning it in college/life:* This math is ridiculous *Geniuses learning to create new elements:* uhhh 10 + 95?
0:55 I don't know much about this stuff, but why not 250Cm+19F->268Db+n? It has a very long half life (possibly over a day!) for such a high-numbered element.
It's not the electrons that cause radioactive decay - it's the nuclei. But you'd certainly expect relativistic effects in these heavy atoms, which would affect their chemistry in various, often hard-to-predict ways. (Though the simplest one is that heavy elements often form fewer bonds than elements higher up the group. For example, carbon and silicon form four bonds, tin usually forms four but can form two, lead forms two and you have to put in a bit of work to make it form four.)
@@alexpotts6520 i am aware that stability is a function of the nucleus and chemical reactions are governed by the valence electrons. What interests me is the prospect of chemistry with a super heavy element. I had never before considered the effect of relativistic valence electrons. But you cannot do much chemistry with an element that has such a short existence and only exists as an ion. There are reports of a stability plateau around atomic number 160. The term stability is relative and may not indicate sufficient time to form a neutral atom, but it would be interesting if it did.
I spending the rest of my amateur scientific career looking for Dumbnium. Unfortunately, it’s incredibly common. It’s very easy to isolate. Just look around in a crowd of “self-proclaimed” scientists. You’ll find Dumbnium everywhere.

I love that despite all the hardcore chemistry, physics and engineering behind synthesising Dubnium, it all comes down to 95 + 10 = 105
But there's a lot of physics involved in choosing 95 + 10 rather than, say, 94 + 11 or 96 + 9.
If you can be bothered explaining, what does decide between 95 + 10 or something else? I'd be interested to know.
I don't know the details, but part of it is probably which isotopes the two elements have.

What interests me is the prospect of chemistry with a super heavy element. I had never before considered the effect of relativistic valence electrons. But you cannot do much chemistry with an element that has such a short existence and only exists as an ion.
There are reports of a stability plateau around atomic number 160. The term stability is relative and may not indicate sufficient time to form a neutral atom, but it would be interesting if it did.
Is this within the "Island of stability" ?
Can you use it to create a "dub-step"?
Does any 100+ elements have a chance to become stable elements? Like the "island of stability" that theorizes "quark matter" at 120+.
Mauro Tamm Unlikely, as then you'd be able to find them in nature.
i did happen to read a while ago about "island of stability" expected to come after 120+ with vastly improved stability.
"Vastly improved stability" might mean "has a half-life of 1ms instead of 1ns".
Please can you make a video on Teflon and BAM?
Fascinating!
Professors wardrobe must be organised like the periodic table.
And the bottle at the end is fill with Whiskium of course a very hard element to synthesize !!!
I spending the rest of my amateur scientific career looking for Dumbnium.
Unfortunately, it’s incredibly common.
It’s very easy to isolate.
Just look around in a crowd of “self-proclaimed” scientists.
You’ll find Dumbnium everywhere.
Wow this guys hair is wild.
He must be a busy man cause his hair is outta control and so is his office
Hadn't noticed the colourful new tie until the professor referred to it , but it's quite late & I'm tired ...or maybe it was some of that Poliakov vodka I purchased earlier this week!
The only way to synthesise a neutron rich super heavy element is to synthesise a heavier elements and wait for it to decay.
Supposing it decays by alpha, proton or positron emission.
When are you going to make O3 for me to see?
That facial expression of the man in the middle at 7:41 after the bottle is being turned 90° :D
Switch to using heavy tin?
Hair is looking dope as always :D
