Thank you for this cool demo... I was studying Molecular Orbital theory for my tomorrow's lecture and found this video... Gonna show this video to my students thanks again
@@joeguy6351 i don't know how much you know about this stuff so i am just going to explain in layman terms. You know that electrons spin around atoms, right? Since electrons have charge, when they spin around the atom, they create "magnetic moment" whose direction is perpendicular to the plane in which the electron is revolving. For example, if you say that the electron is spinning on your bed, then the magnetic moment will be created in the direction perpendicular to it. Now you can think of this magnetic moment like a stick. Suppose you hold a stick to some angle to which a wind is blowing. The stick aligns itself with the direction of the wind, right? Now you can think of the magnetic field between the two magnets as a wind blowing from north to south pole. Now what you will study in quantum mechanics is that the electrons have a principal quantum number called "spin" which can be either +1/2 or -1/2(this spin actually has no physical meaning. It is just a mathematical model). If an electron ha s spin +1/2 and another electron has spin -1/2 then their magnetic moments cancel out or you can say their is no stick which you can hold in the wind. But if two electrons have same spin (+1/2 or -1/2, doesn't matter) then their magnetic moments or "sticks" add up. Now what happens in o2(according to molecular orbital theory) is that all except 2 of the electrons pair up i.e. since you have 16 electrons in o2 then 7 electrons have +1/2 spin and 7 others have -1/2 spin so their magnetic moments cancel out. But the other 2 electrons have spin of same sign (+1/2 or -1/2) so their magnetic moments add up. Now when you are pouring liquid oxygen onto the magnet the magnetic moment or stick is reacting to the magnetic field(or wind). However with nitrogen gas(n2), it has 14 electrons which when arranged in the molecular orbitals give a net spin of 0 so you don't see any reaction.
@TehCthulhu combustion requires fuel, oxygen, and ignition, so by itself the liquid oxygen isn't flammable. on the other hand, because the oxygen is highly concentrated in liquid form, it will make any combustion happen more quickly (and violently).
BRAVO !!!' • Molecular oxygen in the ground state is a bi-radical, containing two unpaired electrons in the outer shell (also known as a triplet state). • Since the two single electrons have the same spin, oxygen can only react with one electron at a time and therefore it is not very reactive with the two electrons in a chemical bond All organic compounds, including those that compose our body tissues, should react rapidly with air to form H2O, CO2, and N2 in an exothermic reaction. Fortunately for us, however, this reaction is very, very slow. • The reason for the unexpected stability of organic compounds in an oxygen atmosphere is that virtually all organic compounds, as well as H2O, CO2, and N2, have only paired electrons, • whereas oxygen has two unpaired electrons. Thus the reaction of O2 with organic compounds to give H2O, CO2, and N2 would require that at least one of the electrons on O2 change its spin during the reaction. This would require a large input of energy, an obstacle that chemists call a spin barrier. Without the quantum rules that govern the predominantly two-electron chemistry of carbon, versus the one-electron behavior of oxygen, the world that we know and love could NOT exist.
Alignment of the angular magnetic moment of oxygen. Many people think that only the magnet has magnetic properties.xD Very Nice. :D Brazilians Greetings
This is also done because Molecular orbital leaves two unpaired electrons in each of π• orbitals Hence, electronic configuration of molecular orbital accounts admirably for paramagnetic properties
I read a thing about magnetitism of Carbon Nano Tubes having a current capacity of 5,000 times of regular electro magnets. I wonder if 5,000 times current and torsion capacity can move air for a flying car of some sort.
I love this experiment. I'm so glad I found this channel. I watched all the uploaded videos for 1 afternoon. I studied in low budget university and we had only few experiments. Thank you so much for making these videos. This Universe never stops to amaze me. And btw why the oxygen is blue in its liquid form?
The transition responsible for the pale blue color of liquid oxygen compare to clear gaseous form is the simultaneous excitation of two molecules from triplet sigma to singlet delta. The double excitation avoids the spin forbiddeness. The energy for the transition corresponds to a wavlenght of 650 nm. Absorbing in the red means the liquid oxygen looks blue. This is only possible in the high density of the liquid so air doesn/t have this absorption with any intensity :)
The last scene really helped me see the 2D physics, thrown against a 3D space, vs a 4D model of time that I tbh believe relies on a 5+D model of perceptual/interactable time to make any sense. Each magnetic pole even in 2D creates the field that then interacts which each dimension above. Though forever I find myself asking... what would the 1D/monopole model look like? And could we ever surmise an experiment like this that so clearly presents it? Or at least a way to visualize it in a way that then helps underwrite broader physics? Unanswered questions aside, thanks for this vid. Its great :)
The liquid nitrogen cooled the oxygen gas below its boiling point creating the liquid oxygen, so cool. That liquid nitrogen has a termperature of -320.4 degrees F. The liquid oxygen has a boiling point of -297.3 degrees F so it is liquid at -297.4 and degrees and lower. This is how the oxygen gas became a liquid. Very cool! Thank you.
So there's ferrifluid but is there another state of matter outside of liquid that can have a similar affect? Like ferrifgas? What about a ferrifluid, oobleck under the effects of a supercomputer?
Very cool experiment. I wish I could show it to my students, but I can only show them experiments in which the experimenter is using reasonable precautions, such as eye protection.
Could a strong enough magnet condense the oxygen to a visible gas without cooling. Or at least bring the partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere higher than normal?
@Canadiankiid93 No, your hand will be fine for a split second of exposure. This is because LN2's boiling point is extremely low and from it's stand point your hand is extremely hot. That means that for the split second your hand was in the LN2 it is actually boiling on top of your skin and evaporating. A good example of this is to pour water on a hot cooking stove, the water will almost like "dance" on the stoves' surface, then evaporate. But any longer than that and ... well, you know.
@bleachzeldakid To simplify, there are 3 states of matter; solid, liquid, and gas. Oxygen at room temperature is obviously a gas as you breath it to live however it can be cooled to become a liquid, cooled further it would become solid. Try thinking of water if you're really struggling with the basic principles. Water can be frozen (solid) or boiled into steam (gas). Water is hydrogen and oxygen bonded (H20).
So if that happens to liquid oxygen, what about gaseous form? Do oxygen molecules tend to gather around magnets in the same manner? Is the temperature a factor?
@thedualmobius Obviously this is dependent on several factors, but oxygen will become solid at normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm) at temperatures below 54.36 K. To have room-temperature solid oxygen, the pressure required would be something ridiculously high. I'm not sure on the magnetic properties of solid oxygen, but I'd assume it's higher than liquid or gaseous oxygen, as there are more molecules in less space. Check out the Wiki page for more info! Hope that answers your questions!
after he pours on the liquid oxy and it dies down abit are we seeing the magnetic field as the gas forms that half circle ontop of the center of poles?
agreed infact after posting i was thinking and ended up to the same conclusion ... the oxigen will boil over faster so the chilling part was good call for beter video ;)
Didnt you add liquid nitrogen on before liquid oxygen? Wouldnt that have a chemical mixture meaning liquid oxygen may behave differently without first having added nitrogen
The reaction between oxygen and nitrogen only happens at high temperatures, like in a spark, lightning, or an internal combustion engine. At the temperatures of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, there's practically no reaction. The liquid nitrogen boils off when it hits the pole pieces, and it cools them down. It's gone by the time we add the liquid oxygen. Often when we do this demo for a class, we repeat the sequence of adding liquid nitrogen to further cool the magnet so we don't have to make as much liquid oxygen. Thanks for the question!
Whatever was burning that caused the flame would light up real fast even before being suspended in liquid oxygen due to concentration of it in the air just above the liquid would be far greater than 21%. When submerged, I have no idea. Could be put out due to the low temperature or... could burn even faster.
+Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations So would the behaviour of the LN2 when poured on the magnets demonstrate its diamagnetism? Cool experiment by the way!
Basically any molecule with unpaired electrons... there are a few. Nitric oxide is the other really common example. Look up molecular orbital diagrams (MO diagrams) to learn how to figure them out for yourself. There are plenty of ways to make oxygen. Electrolysis of water is an easy way at home. Take a 9 V battery and put it in some water. (Maybe attach some wires/electrodes so you can control the spacing of the terminals.)
you would just freeze your self as TheHeew pointed out but it is possible to breathe through oxygen-rich liquid such as a perfluorocarbon. It is not 'easy' though so you can't just jump in a pool of the stuf and start breathing.
+TheBammer78 it shouldnt - but if its rotating i guess its because of minimal different temperatures, causing one side (towards camera) to boil the O2 a bit more than the other....
Nice magnet and nice video. The color of oxygen is just such a beautiful blue color...

I also liked seeing that liquid oxygen is blue.
@FTSinclair yes the induced magnetic moment is inversely proportional to the temperature.

I love these videos, but it frustrates me that they don't include any explanations at all for us who don't know anything about what's going on...
Why does having unpaired electrons make something attracted to magnetic fields?
lol just enjoy the video,it wont be worth it to explain MO theory if you dont do chemistry anyway

The vaporization rate of the liquid nitrogen increases at 0:57. Is this because condensation of atmospheric oxygen begins to occur at this point?
Great experiment Harvard
Thank you
