    In this video, I talk about the myth that surrounds iodine, which has to be one of the most widely spread misconceptions in chemistry. It is often taught in class and even appears in textbooks.
    I try to explain why this myth came to be and I offer a potential solution. This video took me a really really long time to make, so I hope you guys like it!

    I like the idea for a new word for sublimation without a distinct phase change! However catchy "nilation" may be, might I suggest an alternative? Both sublimation and evaporation are derived from Latin route words - sublimare meaning "to raise to a higher level" and evaporare meaning "to vaporize". I propose sticking to the Latin theme and using effugere meaning "to escape". Effugation would be the process of molecular escape.

      The easy way would be to say "iodine doesn't melt under standard atmospheric conditions", then go into detail about the conditions when it melts.
      It's like saying "mercury is the only element that is liquid under normal atmospheric conditions" when gallium melts at around 29.75°C (85.55°F) which is not only below human body temperature but also below "standard" temperature in many climates. For somebody in Spain, gallium would naturally be liquid. Even potassium with a melting point of ~36.84°C (98.31°F) would be liquid on a hot summer day.
      I would go even further and say "iodine prefers sublimation over melting under normal atmospheric conditions" to make sure to tell people that both can happen, but one ist just far more likely than the other.

The bigger problem with a term like "nilation" is that it doesn't pull its conceptual weight: what's happening is escape of thermal fast particles from the material, and it doesn't really matter what phase the material is, the physics is the same.

      @@officiallynerdygames7270 the primary colors _are_ Red Green and Blue, but that's not the whole truth; those are the primary _additive_ colors, while Magenta, Yellow and Cyan are the primary _subtractive_ colors.
      This means that if you are working with an additive medium, where the wavelength of the colors are _added_ together (99.9% of the time this just means "light") then yes, RGB are the primary colors you want: you can mix additions of those 3 to each other to create every color; but if you are working with a medium where each color subtracts how much light is being given off (again, 99.9% of the time this just means "paint") you'd need CMYK ("K" standing in for Black).
      This happens because paint and light are literal opposites in the way they form colors; light gives off color, whereas paint _absorbs_ most colors, and only reflects the color we presume they "give out"; so, in fact, a "Blue Paint" is technically more of a "Not-red Not-green" paint; if you tried to take an RGB value for something like purple (150 red, 50 green, 200 blue) and tried to mix _paints_ with the same proportions, "3 parts red paint, 1 part green paint, 4 parts blue paint", you wouldn't get purple; you'd get a blue-ish dark brown color.
      As for why Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (plus Black, hanging out in the corner) are the primary subtractive colors, well, to put it simply, they are the result of subtracting the 3 primary additive colors from White; if you take away the Red from White, you have Cyan; take away the Blue, it becomes Yellow, so forth; this makes mixing subtractive colors much easier with these 3 building blocks.
      It might be fine to just teach kids RGB, but I have to say: as a child I absolutely _hated_ this; I _thought_ I had learned the primary colors, and I couldn't, for the life of me, understand why only a few of the paint mixes I made worked; using RGB you can barely get to the secondary colors before everything just turns brown, and it's really frustrating. When I eventually learned that I hadn't even been using the correct basic blocks it all made so much more sense; what makes me actually angry about this is that fkn paint companies here in Brazil actually _do_ sell "paint kids for children" that come with just RGB White and Black as colors, such a dick move.

    I’m actually okay with using evaporation for solids and liquids, since in both cases, it’s the random escape of particles into the gas phase not linked to a real phase change. Although the starting phase can be different the physical process is the same, while boiling and sublimation are definitely different since different intermolecular forces are being broken.

    • @kilroy2517
      @kilroy2517 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But that's wrong. The New Oxford Dictionary for Scientific Writers states evaporation is "The change of state of a liquid into a vapour at a temperature below the boiling point of the liquid." Almost all the other sources I checked agree, and state it is specifically the change from liquid to gas. The only one that didn't was Merriam-Webster, which said it is the change to a gas without referring to its original state.
      "...not linked to a real phase change." Um, no. It is very much a real phase change, and there's nothing random about it. It has definite causes and you can change the rate at which it occurs, for example by putting it in a vacuum chamber.
      "..boiling and sublimation are definitely different since different intermolecular forces are being broken". No, they're the same forces, they're just being overcome for different reasons.
      So evaporation is a liquid turning into a gas, and sublimation is a solid turning into a gas, both of which are caused by differences in concentration of the substance (vapor pressure?), while boiling and freezing are phase changes caused by a change of heat energy.

      @@kilroy2517 Good to see Kilroy was here. I think I'll be your gadfly for the evening though. In a hot cup of tea, there are molecules at many temperatures. Those temperatures average out to something nice, but individual molecules may be near absolute zero and some are much hotter than water's boiling point, say thousands of Kelvin. The same is true of a lump of brass or anything at any temperature. The hot molecules can and sometimes do fly off. The only difference material phase, temperature, pressure, or strength of intermolecular forces make is how many molecules fly away. Elvis left the building because he met and encountered all the conditions to do so even if the audience is sleeping it off or running after him for a sweat rag.
      Looked at that way, evaporation, sublimation, and nilation are all the same thing--Elvis leaving the building. If you are more interested in questions like: will it leave a mess, how long will my lump of stuff remain here, will the meltwater refreeze on the sidewalk tonight, or what does the test want for an answer, the distinction matters.

I don't disagree with anything you said, except your assertion that their may be a huge difference in energy states in that cup of tea - the range of temperatures for the vast majority of the molecules will be much, much narrower than you say, but I understand you did it for illustrative purposes. In effect, sublimation and evaporation are the same thing, but they're different words with different meanings, and I took the time to research it to make sure I wasn't just offering my opinion.

      @@ineednochannelyoutube5384 I was skeptical at first too, but then I calculated the Hawking radiation pressure for a 5 mega-solar mass black hole and it turned out to be 10^-70 or so. You're right that Hawking radiation is analogous to black body radiation, but the difference is, Hawking radiation will actually evaporate the entire black hole away, whereas black body radiation will not. Imagine a situation where black hole and lump of metal are each isolated in their own universe, with nothing else -- no matter, no radiation, nothing. In that situation the black hole will begin to evaporate, but the tungsten block will cool down radiatively until its black body radiation is less intense than the Hawking radiation, too.
      There's two key physical principles here. One is that the stuff the lump of metal is made of -- protons, neutrons, electrons and the like -- are at least approximately conserved (if they do decay, it's much less important than anything else in the problem). In contrast, the black hole is happy to evaporate emitting only photons, and will do so for a long time. The second reason is that black holes have negative heat capacity, so as they radiate away heat they get _hotter,_ not colder. This means that Hawking radiation only ever becomes more intense, eventually becoming hot enough to even produce massive particles, whereas black body radiation slows to a trickle and stops.
      So there is a sense in which the claim in the OP is correct and meaningful.

    Vote here on what you would like to see as a new term: goo.gl/rQ8sQ2
    The new term would describe anything at temperatures to the left of the melting OR sublimation point. Regardless of whether or not it is below or above the triple point. I just wanted to add that because I might not have been super clear in the video.
    Also, the actual term that is used is up for debate. It's even possible to keep sublimation as the general solid to gas transition, and then use a new term for the proper phase change. My goal was to just bring forth this issue, not to push my own term.

      Bit narcissistic there to be naming a physical process after yourself, isn't it? And besides, "nilation" doesn't intuitively sound related to any of the other words for phase-changes. It sounds more like "annihilation" to me.
      Since this process is essentially "evaporation of a solid", I think the term for it should at least take the root -vaporation, to make the connection to "evaporation" clear. Subvaporation, maybe?

      @thisisashan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great idea, but the term itself is poorly structured. Nilate, is confusing because the phonetic breakdown is, Nil- and -ate. I'm sure you can see the issue with naming a phase change with 'Nil', which means zero.
      To the argument itself, I think anyone can see the clear logic in having differentiating terms. One thing I would keep in mind, is the rate of education of minors.
      Often when we are specialists, we use precise jargon to clearly specify what we are speaking. However, when we are children, it is often better to keep things simple so that children can learn without having to focus too much on learning a bunch of new words.
      I think this is the type of implied emphasis on specialization that is just common. Just think of stirring.
      To a child, they automatically think, "GRAB A SPOON AND GET MIXIN!".
      But to a sophisticated chemist you automatically go through a series of logic in your head... Am I going to use a magnetic stirrer? Will this mix with just a few striations? Will heat help as a catalyst while I stir? Do I need to stir this inside of a vacuum? Etc Etc Etc.
      Jargon is already known as creating an extra burden of restrictive education, I.E. increase the learning curve.
      Great for experts, bad for the new guys.

    Science textbooks are garbage. Some of the gems I can recall of the top of my head that I learned in high school:
    - There are 26 amino acids (there are 20)
    - Solids and liquids are completely incompressible. (they both compress, just a lot less than a gas. if they were incompressible, the speed of sound in them would be infinite)
    - Lasers a perfectly monochromatic, the beam never spreads and all the light waves in the beam are perfectly in sync with each other - all false. (perfect monochromicity violates the laws of thermodynamics, laser beams absolutely spread out, there's special optics laws governing that, perfect light wave synchronicity also violates thermodynamics and ignores things like multiple cavity phases.)

      There are thousands of post-transcriptionally modified amino acids but only 20 canonical ones that are coded for by DNA.

Also, having been fascinated with chemistry as a kid, I figured that any pure sample of a relatively simple substance could be rendered solid, liquid or gaseous with sufficient control of heat and pressure; learning about phase diagrams was a delightful affirmation of my earlier figuring.

      well nope, if you think about it even salt dropped into water is a solution and that one definitely doesn't have to be moltne into a liquid to dissolve in the water and make up a solution

    This reminds me of the saying that "it's not the volts that kills, it's the amps".

    Talk to IUPAC or submit a paper. I really wish that to happen. You’re great 👍.

    I was taught in school how melting and sublimating works. I remember them saying it has to do with pressure. I haven't finished the video so I'll see if I'm right.
    6:00 I knew it. I remembered that same diagram.
