For me, blowing stuff up is the *least* interesting stuff in chemistry. What fascinates me, is how poeple were able to determine molecular structures without even seeing the molecules, separate seeminly inseparable mixtures (chromatography), the acid and base theory, fascinating properties of soap and so on. When he ignites the hydrogen bottle, what amazes me most is how we are even able to obtain hydrogen from natural sources. How we were able to determine chemical reaction formulas. All that hidden genius stuff...
This dude is intelligent, bumbling, loveable, and brilliant- I'm privileged that he was one of the handful of great teachers in the world that made his way into the public eye. Can't wait to see more from him.
A very good, and inspiring talk, for chemists and non-chemists alike. Also; I love the fact that in the end he is just standing there and releasing dinitrogen tetroxide fumes from the ridiculously large tube. He has definitely spend enough time in the lab to not care too much about what others would call "toxic gasses". XD
Such a sad world we live in that cat videos get millions of views and this has less than 10,000. Andrea Sella, as well as all other great science communicators, deserve a huge round of applause. It's great how experiments start with an opinion then lead to facts.
I am self studying math and chemistry. And I love it but I do find that the reason that chemistry is difficult, not because it is actually difficult itself, but it is difficult because it is so extensive, it takes a lot of time and dedication to learn. For example, lewis sctructures. There is always a general rule like the octet. But then there are exceptions to the general rule and so on and so on. Those so on and so on's can be annoying to learn but amazing to finally understand. Anyhow, thanks for the lecture.
Kid : Sees interesting Chemical Reactions videos. Kid becomes genuinely interested in Chemistry Teacher : Introduces Quantum Number, DeBroglie's wavelengths and Countless Chemical Enthalpies without giving any basic knowledge. Kid : ight imma head out
I remember in a chemistry lab, our professor told us that if we get any of this particular chemical on our skin, it will bind to calcium within our bones and lead to loss of bone. Chemistry is fun!
Really great talk. Also I do love clock reactions. I remember being shown one for the first time at a university open day, BZ+ferroin is my favorite. And that may have been the best description of Monckton's and Dellingpole's connection to climate science, well... best allowed by our libel laws.

Chemistry is hard you nit.

Nice demonstration Professor !

The posphorus is the element agradable for the chemical bonds on hidrogen ligation
I'm so glad he mentioned distilling urine.
where's the book he talk about at 14:6
Lmao
14:47
Wow amazing love you man
So many bad jokes i've lost the count
