    Back in 60's when I was a kid (around 10 years old), my friends and I would ride our bikes to the drug store and buy bottles of ammonium dichromate. Big bottles of the stuff. After a few purchases, the pharmacist finally asked, “what in the world are you kids doing with all this ammonium dichromate anyway?” Oh, we're just making ammonium dichromate volcanos in our back yard. The pharmacist shrugged his shoulders, looked at us directly and warned us to be careful. We were careful and no one got hurt. And that how things went back the day for kids from Lake Wobegon.

      Yea, The pharmacist that owned the pharmacy I did my residency at talked about all the cool things you used to be able to do.
      Mostly explosives.
      Until they cracked a window with their black powder, and his mum put a stop to it.
      We used to do random chemistry 'recipes' from the 18th century 'useful household things' ranging from fireworks to glue to pesticides.

      @XanTheDragon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I could certainly use that video. I've been educated to a small extent on the elements and how they tend to generally react in the broad scope. I want to know what makes these sections of the table unique.

    • @SpritoftheStairwell
      @SpritoftheStairwell 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The simplest answer to why they are arranged in such a way is the valence shells of the elements. The s-block (groups I and II) have s-orbitals as their valence (outermost) shells, the p-block (main group) elements have p-orbitals as their valence shell, and transition metals have d-orbitals as their valence shells. The number of electrons that can go into the d-orbitals and their various energy levels are what cause them to have unique reactivity.

      Actually, I'm pretty sure he'd want the professor to get it.

He was also mentioning the plan to update all the older videos on elements, and that seemed pretty interesting too, so it's not necessarily just padding the numbers :P

      You don't really learn anything from these videos. You have to have a basic understanding of whats going on to understand the reactions, enough to where you wouldn't be learning anything new, you'd just be seeing something happen that you already know will happen. If you don't know enough to understand the reactions, you won't know it from watching the video considering nothing about it is actually mentioned as these are beginner oriented novelty videos not educational videos, you'd need to spend a long time studying reaction pathways in an actual classroom before it could make any real sense.

    The reaction at 6:30 forms a violet peroxo complex of chromium, thought to be [CrO(O2)2(OH)]- if I recall correctly, not two different compounds as stated. This then decomposes to oxygen gas and is reduced to green Cr(III). The peroxo complexes of chromium are awesome and you should make a video dedicated to them in the future!

    That brings back memories from first semester. We had to do a lot of experiments and qualitive and quantitative analyses with cromate and dichromate. The experiments were really nice but we had a lot of chromate waste that we had to dispose properly. A pretty messy and slow process that blocked half of our fume cupboards and most of our beakers and funnels. Although the chemistry of chromium can be very beautiful and interessting, every time chromium compounds are mentioned a little alarm bell gets off ; )

    Professor, two weeks ago I witnessed the brightest meteor I've ever seen. So intense that I cast a dim shadow as it passed. It was the most amazing pale green. I know this might be more of a astrophyisics question, but I wondered what chemical makeup would show a color like that. Another factor was that it looked like it just skipped off the upper atmosphere, so maybe it was burning yellow and was "greened"" though our blue tinged atmosphere, so green and yellow could have been the real colors as it burned.

    I remember being lectured by my chemistry teacher in 1975 about the dangers of forming compounds with the noble gases as the energy you put into it will be suddenly released all at once embedding fragments of the containing vessel into my body parts. The lecturing was done in the tone of putting objects into power points or playing with matches. I never forgot it. The lecturerer waved his arms around in an animated discussion.

    I could just sit here and listen to Professor Poliakoff say “chromium” over and over again. :-)

    YAY! Transition Metal Redox chemistry! PToV got me hooked on Manganese and Vanadium (I've replicated the Vanadium experiment that Darren did in the Vanadium video). Now I'll have to gear up and see what Chromium can do for me.

    Professor, the electronic configuration of Cr is [Ar]3d5 4s1, so there are 5 d electrons and 1 s electron.
