@@matthorrocks6517 I love watching this channel in a morbid kind of way. It's fascinating to see all this exotic chemistry, and I am happy that it's him and not me having to do this. On the other hand, I regularly find myself wanting to scream at the screen: Why would anybody do that?! This is insanity. In the end, it reminds me of first semester demonstration lecturers. Those were awesome and quite memorable.
@@matthorrocks6517 Actually I'm more impressed he's willing to work with molten selenium and tellurium.... I'd be totally scared about getting any of it on me and getting 'selenium breath' and be shunned by everyone for the next year or so.....
I love the craziness that this stuff is so nasty he uses kerosene DRIED BY NAK as the cover fluid. When "fresh" kerosene is too wet, nature is trying to tell you to slow down.
Another comment. The violence of these reactions is even more astounding when you realize the products are ionic salts! Explosions usually involve breaking down to expanding gaseous products... that this is sheer heat energy explosions with a solid product is simply mind blowing.
I know nothing about chemistry, and I always feel like that. You being a chemist yourself (you know what you're talking about) and you being impressed, impresses me even more with Felicks! He thinks of out of the box, and we get to watch!
Probably because most people do not grasp what is going on and the exotic nature of the reactants. I actually hope this channel grows with people actually into this and not to simply become a popular fad, popularity ruins everything.
You need to contact the slo-mo guys and get some shots of the coulombic explosion in water and and other clear liquids. You got a REALLY good view of the liquid alloy in the water! Just need a zillion frames per second and a REALLY bright light.
Tellurium out of nowhere, then anhydrous hydrazine!! This is such an amazing channel thank you so much, educational, entertaining, and exposure to incredibly rare and dangerous reactions and substances ❤❤❤❤
As a chemistry hobbyest from the 1970's, loving that I get to see things and (in other videos) some terrifying reactions that can't be found anywhere else (mad mixing of super reducing agents with super oxidizing agents - something we learned to never do). Seeing liquid ozone which I only read about - interhalogens and so on. I never imagined making RbCs like NaK, and "playing" with it. Awesome. But I do wax philosophic sitting back and thinking about the resources that needed to be utilized to bring Cesium and Rubidium in one's hands. Really hardly any concentrated minerals, always a by product. They are precious but also amazing.
First of all, I thought, "that's brave", mixing those two, but then the visual thing kicked in and absolutely blew me away and the chemistry didn't matter! Beautiful. What a fantastic video!
This is the first reaction that I have even seen where anhydrous hydrazine acts as an oxidizing agent rather than a reducing agent. We have come so far in order to see that! Thank you so much for this video; the visuals are spectacular!
9:42 about cold oxidizers, always comes to mind one of my favourite quotes from JDClark: "Chlorine trifluoride, ClF3, or "CTF" as the engineers insist on calling it, is a colorless gas, a greenish liquid, or a white solid. It boils at 12° (so that a trivial pressure will keep it liquid at room temperature) and freezes at a convenient -76°. It also has a nice fat density, about 1.81 at room temperature. It is also quite probably the most vigorous fluorinating agent in existence-much more vigorous than fluorine itself. Gaseous fluorine, of course, is much more dilute than the liquid ClF3, and liquid fluorine is so cold that its activity is very much reduced."
I'm telling you, my friend, that you truly are the Force behind very many peoples' interest and increasing fascination with Chemicals. You are the best! I am just 3:14 in and already SO pleased with what we are seeing. The change from the silver alloy to the gold and then brown as it oxidizes is awesome. Then, solid into...FIRE! Truly, you are the best.
Very nice and interesting video! Thank you! I'd like to see what happens if you try to alloy mercury and cesium or rubidium: I've seen a video about sodium-mercury alloy, and it was quite interesting...
Hi Felicks! How are you? I hope well! Felicks, you know what? When I watch your videos, I have to wait until I have no distractions. I want to absorb every second. Your videos are just so good. You're so smart! P.S. Iodine is my fav! Thank you!
Stunned video. I especially love that drops behaviour, the beauty of instability, transition from flaming balls with nice layer of hot plasma around it to abrupt chaos of explosion. (I am not a chemist, but my first major was biochemical physics).
(How would this react with Fluorine I wonder?) Aaaaw yeah! You are the king mr. ChemicalForce! This is epic! That transition from a silvery colour on the wooden board to a gold colour during burning is SO beautiful! Also please keep the burning ChemicalForce intro and music. It's awesome! 14:45 Also WOW! Reminds me of a miniature black hole!
Somewhere around 12 minutes or just after the needle clogged and sprayed out the side but it was very interesting that it created his own oxide pipe imagine moving the liquid metal from one location to another without having to build a pipe, as it sprays it forms its own oxide layer continuously making its own pipe a very weak pipe but still a pipe
high class video, never seen any alkali metall reactions with sulfur or liquid oxygen or iodine, pretty amazing makro and slow motion shots, subscribed !!
As always another great video thanks for sharing as always! Would you mind making a video of cleanup after the videos? What kind of PPE do you wear to do these videos? Maybe a tour of your lab? I have wondered about your setup.
I've done CsNaK. It looks just like NaK, but more golden colored and reactive enough to catch fire on contact with air. Though I only made a few grams because I was making my own Cs at the time.
Awesome video! Doing the hydrazine reaction under inert atmosphere under cryogenic temperatures would've been cool, to get a chance to look at those highly basic deprotonated hydrazine salts, and then see maybe a reaction or two with them. Idea for another video in future, perhaps? Would be tremendous to see. Still, thanks for this, I particularly enjoyed seeing the burning alloy "dancing" on the wood, and the reactions with oxygen. I hope you keep at it, to the extent your budget and time constraints allow.
I also agree! I want to see deprotonated hydrazine salts being used in reactions! I also wonder what the application for deprotonated hydrazine salts would be.
@@Theriodontia4945 Lithium hydrazide is one, it's been researched as a hydrogen storage material. For the purposes of this channel, it would mostly be another exotic, highly reactive base/reducing agent. Probably hypergolic with most oxidizers, given that hydrazine already is, so replacing a hydrogen or two with an alkali metal only makes it more vigorously reactive.
Thanks for these awesome video’s. Might be Nice to see Cs/Rb react in N2/Ar atmosphere with Cu-,Hg-Cr (etc.) salts and see the formation of these metals.
Hey. I've been wondering if soap is possible to make using RbOH and CsOH. What would it turn out like? Can you show us an experiment where you try to compare all the alkali metal hydroxides in triglyceride saponification process?
I used to experiment with kno3 on various surfaces in hot liquid state. It burned EXACTLY like your alloy here on the surface of the wood, even same fire color. Pretty cool❤
All those white trails are very fast (supersonic?) droplets flying away, they appear to be strongly repelled from the central point. Thanks again for a great video of things I will certainly *not* repeat 😸
Did you notice, that when the alloy didn´t spontaneos react because of a fast forming oxide layer, it everytime exploded when a fresh drop hit the unreacted drop laying already there. On the wood and in liquid chlorine etc.. The same effect can be seen for potassium too. Due to the fact that the normal "oxide" of potassium is the hyperoxide. Same is true for cesium. Maybe that why they react so violently upon contact with "non" reacted drops of itself. Pretty much combining cesium with cesium hyperoxide to create a bang. Great video!!!
these videos are incredible, I am pretty sure every reaction you filmed is the best shot of it humanity has ever created. for a fun segment in a future video - it would be cool to alloy all alkali metals together xD LiNaKRbCs
Loving the fumes from the iodine reaction and the sulfur fireball. So colorful. Also: is it not a coincidence that of the chalcogen reactions, sulfur was the most tame and reaction with tellurium was the most violent?
I'm a chemist and when that petri dish filled with Cl exploded it triggered my immediate response to run away. Holy shit. Edit: the bromine was beautiful though.
Great video. Can you do a follow up or in the future videos including for the reference details of the electron configurations of valent levels of reagents before during and after the reactions?
It just got better and better. I definitely saw the humanoid shape. First Alien with skinny torso & long limbs. Next a cross legged Buddha looking figure and, finally, a colonial era (1750-1800) in pantaloons. The rapid frame cameras have paid GOLD for returns. Every reaction is so satisfying.
A golden-silver liquid, with purple flame that scorchs everything. It fits perfectly for some venomous monsters in fantasy, since it looks way more crazy than spitting ordinary fire or acid.
Thanks for doing all these crazy experiments, so the rest of us don't have to... :D Insane shots of fire and smoke trails. You forgot to drop the stuff into liquid ozone and fluorine....hahaha. Have you ever considered playing with liquid fluorine? I think nickel is passivating in fluorine. Should be possible.
A fascinating alloy with some exciting reactions! Also, some fantastic footage of the reactions. So, I have just one question - what happens when you react RbCs with liquid fluorine? I mean, I'd expect it just to explode, but will it be more destructive than the reaction with chlorine?
Injecting a tomato like that, you are now probably Integza's new favorite person.
A grape,has to do a grape 🍇 😆
He converted the tomato into a rocket, from the slo-mo, which in Integzaland is an irreconcileable paradox. Is it disgusting or amazing?
you are the first person to witness a bell pepper being injected with chocolate milk at 4k feet in the air
I, stopped watching that guy, he's going to get someone hurt, when they try doing the same things
Man, NaK is already scary but this is just crazy, hats off to you for working with it
How about those flame colors though? Red engulfed in white! Like something out of dragonball.

When Nilered says: This Sodium and Potassium alloy is now called NaK, and i think its kind of scary.
You know it's scary already😂
The fact your willing to spill and shoot chlorine all over the place for TH-cam is what makes me come back to watch everything you make ❤
anyone can shoot clourine all over the place tbh
@@KookyPiranha pure chlorine is extremely toxic.
I was way more worried about the Rubidium and Cesium. xD
In super slow motion

Cerubium
RbCs + ClF3 = Excitement guaranteed!
You can find cesium reaction with flourine here on youtube, that one might be similarly bright, but calm.
yes
First you have to find a chemist insane enough to even attempt to demonstrate it.
How is this channel not more successful it drives me nuts!!! This guy shows his stuff we're never going to see anywhere else!

yes! i hope we can pester one of those slo-mo channels into a collab some day.
@@billynomates920Very very very much this
Thunderf00t has it it slow mo for a few. Na, K and NaK for sure.
A spicier NaK. Love the little balls of alloy leaving spots on the wood as they bounce across.

Couldn't have said it better! When you're right, you're right! 😊
I thought the red/brown tellurium flames were nuts - almost like the flames were darker than the resulting smoke!
Seeing the blue color of electrons as the Rb/Cs alloy reacted with hydrazine was awesome. Thank you for demonstrating it!

The soundtrack is spot on.
13:19 right?
If NaK wasn't dangerous enough, RbCs _really_ seems like it doesn't want to exist!
as if you wouldn't be mad if someone tried to steal an electron from you
Hmm… what about LiCs? They’re so far apart, I’m sure there would be interesting possibilities.
the iodine reaction was spectacular
That reaction had the most streamers, far more than Cl or Br. No idea why (slightly lower reactivity + solid phase ...?)
First of all, I thought, "that's brave", mixing those two, but then the visual thing kicked in and absolutely blew me away and the chemistry didn't matter! Beautiful. What a fantastic video!
The way you edit these videos and time the music with the reaction is simply impressive
Can't get enough of the slow motion chemical reactions. It's my new favorite TH-cam channel!
This is the first reaction that I have even seen where anhydrous hydrazine acts as an oxidizing agent rather than a reducing agent. We have come so far in order to see that! Thank you so much for this video; the visuals are spectacular!
You've created a chemical black hole at 14:50. Best I've ever seen!
Thank you for bringing us beautiful photogenic videos, of exotic reactions, and unusual chemistry.
As always, excellent chemistry and excellent photography!
The slo-mo explosions with Br are just visually stunning.
You have outdone yourself again. I am always impressed by the quality of your videos and the fascinating reactions you bring to us.
Sulphur closeup was really cool w the light around it
Was not expecting to see it’s reactions with selenium and tellurium. Awesome.

Impressive chemistry experiments! As a chemist Ι feel great to see such rare chemical reactions. The dream of every real chemist! Congratulations!
I like how that very first drop on the hydrazine goes from silver to black to clear before finally fizzing out on the edge of the glass!

I love how with the Iodine you get the standard pretty purple smoke, then a little bit of light blue smoke, and then some orange smoke. So colorful!
Magnificet video, like always!
beautiful purple explosion on the bromine demonstration
