loved the face reveal and especially the lab reveal. I guess I imagined something more sterile, white, and futuristic - it was fun to see something more like my electronics workshop at home!
Yeah, it isn't too crazy. I would like to have a better more modern work area though. It stops me from doing a lot of experiments, especially ones that absolutely require a fumehood.
Kevin has started a go fund me campaign to get the other end revealed too, he's been waiting for 5 whole years, but it seems he's the only one putting money into it, nobody else seems interested in NileRear lol..
In college we had an experiment to do with bromine. I had to bring a container from under the hood to a counter and had a “whiff” of bromine in the nose and it burnt for like 2 weeks. I also had a drop somehow going through my glove and making a blister. This was definitely too dangerous of a substance for college teens.
Bromine and iodine are sometimes used in halogen lamps. An electric current is passed through a filament, and the halogen interacts with the metal filament, producing a higher temperature and longer lifespan light -> higher luminosity. Pretty neat, eh? :) I do prefer LEDs, as diodes are typically more efficient.
I like metals, and especially iron. They have so many interesting physical properties! From magnets, to electricity, quantum shenanigans to radiation! They also have large roles in chemistry. Being electrodes themselves, reducing agents, and all the way to organometallics! I also just love their lustre, and strength. I like to keep at least one piece around me to stimulate my imagination and the good feelings!
I'm italian and I only watch chemistry videos in english because there isn't any youtuber in italy as competent as you! Thank you for all of your videos and do never stop making them!
The best thing about Nile Red's videos is that he never "blows stuff up" gratuitously. As far as I can tell, he really cares about the chemistry. If a reaction or a substance happens to be dangerous, he may still show it, but not because it is dangerous but because it is interesting in some other way. And the camera work is awesome. I like to take pictures of my element collection, but I REALLY need to upgrade my camera.
I love these element series and I am actually in my final year of high school and plan (as of now) to go into chemistry. I love watching your synthesis and have actually slowly been purchasing my own equipment. If you would ever do more educational videos just explaining general chemistry and things that would be amazing. Love watching your videos and you do a fantastic job!
@@dunkinnatalie Okay I'll let you know I went into chemistry, however after about 2 years and having a roommate who was doing his PHD in organic chemistry I decided to swap majors. It seemed difficult to get a job outside of a university or lab and not amazing pay where I am at. I do still love watching chemistry videos but not the right choice for me.
omg you're exactly what I imagined you'd look like! I've been watching your content for the past 2 years and I've always been curious as to how you'd look! I knew you'd be clean-cut looking, short hair, slender, pale - frameless glasses was the only thing i got wrong - and being biracial lol
I really like these elemental series. I was always very interested in what each of the elements might look like and how'd they'd behave. Hope to see more elements in the future.
Hey NileRed, I'm a high-school student and I love your videos. I'm taking H.S. level chemistry this year and I've already got the knowledge to easily pass and probably score advanced on the state test. Your videos are very advanced but it's fun to make sense of all the weird chemistry-talk. I'm also using your videos to learn nomenclature. I'm planning on going to college for chemistry, because I love science, and chemistry seems like the coolest most hands-on (more pure) science. My chemistry teacher is also assisting me in going really in-depth with a lot of this stuff, and allowing me to stay in for part of lunch to use the lab for other things, though I haven't quite gotten any chemicals out yet, only working with Bunsen burners because my school is too poor to afford hot-plates. Though hopefully I will go far in competition for science this year. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I love your videos and they have made me very enthusiastic about chemistry. I've always loved the more pure sciences, though I haven't ever decided which ones I liked more. I think chemistry will certainly be my choice in the future! :)
The reason i love this guy is because of the science aswell as him kinda not giving a crap while still being safe and having fun also the fact that almost always something in all his synthesis videos something doesn't react the way it's supposed to
The very word bromine sends shivers down my spine. Can't forget those days in the pharma industry when it used to make my eyes and nose water, choke my lungs and throat. Safety isn't a priority in developing countries.
The element series are really informative, you should do them more often. After i watched the white phosphorus one, i looked all over the channel for more episodes but there were none, it's nice you brought it back
Bromine is used as a second sensitizer“ in case of daguerreotype. It’s combine with anhydrous lime. So that the polished silver plate can be fumed and turn into silver halogen to make a daguerreotype. There are still other steps to do in order to bring the image to life.
NILE! We can finally see you :) Somehow I was expecting someone with those looks to match the voice But remember to keep you very professional, safe, assertive posture with the slight hint of mad scientist as when you are off camera. The voice is of a very young guy but that knows exacly what he's doing
Imagine a bromine spring in a fictional setting. "It just broke through one day. The plants withered and died, the people and animals fled... It's just a wasteland of withered snags and brown mist. Some say they've seen shapes moving in the mist, but we can't send anything in there to check."
If I remember correctly Bromine was also used as a fire retardant in some plastics. It's why some consoles like the SNES, OG PlayStation, and other white consoles from the 80's, 90's and early 00's turned yellow over time
You look good :) this shows us chemists too, have good looks. :P keep it up!! Love your channel and vids! I use them in my classes as well. My students really learned a lot from you.
dude you're videos are content, it feels like I'm in chemistry class all over again but I'm actually enjoying your teaching on chemical elements :) you're awesome dude.
Yeah, working with bromine is always fun... I remember one experiment I had to do a few years back in university, simple addition of bromin to fumaric acid. Thats when I learned the hard way, that bromine basically does not have a surface tension, something I never thought about ^o^ I blanked out for a second and turned the stopcock of the addition funnel the wrong way and in that following half second that I noticed and closed the funnel as fast as I never closed it ever again ;) , all 9g of bromine went *whoosh* in the flask with boiling water... One second later the (secured) stopper went *puff* and all of the gaseous bromine filled the fume hood where I luckily could contain most of it so nobody needed to be evacuated... that was a lot of fun, let me tell you, who needs scary movies for an early heart attack :D The links you wanted to add below the video btw. was for the making of the bromine and putting in the ampule (around 1:55) And concerning the improvment of your videos I can only say that showing you cute face more often definitly wouldn't be a bad thing ;)
I'm in the medical field and I always come across microscopic images of tissue prepared with haematoxylin and eosin stain. Pretty cool for me to now know how eosin is made!
I clicked on the video and I was like WAIT WHAT. It's NileRed?. Man... You look way more younger that you sound, anyway I finally saw the man behind of one of my favorite chemistry TH-cam channel. Great video and also it's some way nice to meet you.
Wow. Totally unexpected. I've been watching all your videos for a long time. It was really great to see you. Thank you for another wonderful video. keep uploading them :)
That was just awesome and I am more then happy with the format. Sure, the "how to acquire" and typical application makes some elements not fitted for the format, but I think there are plenty of elements that are interesting and can be obtained reasonable. When does elements are covered, then the format can off-course change, but I acctually like, that you have shown an relatively easy to obtain element, showing that chemistry is work and requires safety procedures, but it is not that complicated.
I have two of the same respirators as you. I still breath some gas. Maybe my face is too big? But I truely recommend the full faced nuclear war one. Since bromine is an old anesthetic I passed out but a friend nearby woke me. Don't drink when you make it folks you'll get really drowsy and could die softly sorry NileRed! I really stuffed up with this stuff. I made a lot of it. etc. left it in open air and passed out. everything metal in the room lost its chrome. And I was sick for a week. So beware!
You were at least 50 and with white hair in my imagination! Some kind of retired professor that does experiments in his free time. Also you have an awesome voice. And you should look into the camera lense. And Bromine is toxic n shit, how could you just open the bottle and inhale that? :D
Two bros discovered this element, they were confused what to name it after discovering it so they decided to name it bromine so their bromance is remembered forever.
So found this channel at the beginning of 2017. Thought it was pretty cool and I was taking organic chemistry at the time so I said why not. Started from the oldest to the newest videos. Finally got to this one and I’m am shook.
Great video Nile! I like the new format! Also i love the idea of element series. Was gonna comment "where is the lab coat?" but you put one on! :) Maybe do a total noob series for us that know nothing about chemistry but want to learn. Things about lab equipment for example. Safety. Maybe a few really (and i mean really) guerilla experiments that we can do for kids. That don`t require actual laboratories. A small tip for focus. Put something where you are going to stand and focus on it before recording. This way you will avoid the actual focus being on the background. You`ll avoid people getting their eyes stuck on the shelves behind you instead of looking at you. :) All in all great video though! Feel free to ask if you need lighting tips if you indent to put our more of videos in this format. There are some very easy ways to make the production value of the videos jump without expensive gear. Also love the pleasant and clean audio! Keep up the great work!
thanks for the input! This was my first time filming a person really, so it was a little bit frustrating. I tried to pre-focus where I would be standing, but meh. I really should do a total noob series. Ill try to get on that at some point...I am very slow though, so i am not sure when that would be!
4:39 Just remember kids... _Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer!....._ Have - _hydrogen_ No - _nitrogen_ Fear - _fluorine_ Of - _oxygen_ Ice - _iodine_ Cold - _chlorine_ Beer - _bromine_ There, don't say I never did nothin for ya!
HOLY FACE REVEAL (YESSSSS). You look nice! You should show your face more often! Bromine is the one thing I've never wanted to attempt to synthesize (although, I did synthesize hydrogen sulfide and wore a respirator and never had any issues). It freaked me out once when I saw a TH-cam video where someone filled up a container with bromine and put in one of the mostly-aluminum-bodied iPhones in it with literally zero safety gear. I shudder just thinking about it.
NileRed I'm not sure as it's at my house (which is 3 hours away). It's the only one I could find at Lowes, and it looked really similar to the one you had on (I think it was made by 3M?). I couldn't smell the hydrogen sulfide at all (until I bumped the mask about midway through, which is when I got a quick sniff of rotten eggs and death). Most of it was going into a Zinc Chloride solution, but there was a good bit more than I expected escaping. I left and came back the next morning when the synthesis was done, so I wasn't exposed for more than 30 minutes anyway.
genuinely spooked by face reveal. i essentially just forgot that this was nile red's channel and just assumed i was somewhere else for like 5 seconds when i saw his face.
If you want to use up all your bromine in some chemistry, look up bromine oxidation of carbohydrates. I use bromine, potassium carbonate and water to turn riboses into ribolactones. The great thing about it is that it is selective for the anomeric hydroxyl group so all you need to do is make the acetonide of the 2'-3' hydroxyls and you're good to go on the oxidation. I can provide paper refs if its an idea that interests you.
I liked it! You did well face to camera for a long video like this and your composure was seamless compared with your annotated videos. Though, I am not sure I like the annotated videos "more" or that I am just used to them. I wouldn't say doing a complete transition over to this form would be my preference. That being said though, you would NOT lose a subscriber because of it nor would I be any less enthusiastic for future videos when they drop. The non-personal aspect of seeing only the labware and apparatus adds a bit of a clinical feel to the video and removes and bit of subjective feel and I kind of like that. If that makes any sense?? lol Same with NurdRage, Doug and (sady gone) Chem Player. All in all though, its complete quality as we have come to expect and enjoy from your content. Keep it up, you're doing great! :-D
Mine too. And I believe Bromine is favorite element of many people. One of very few elements that are liquid ant room temp. and the only non-metal there. Very volatile with fascinating red vapor.

that's so cringe
And now you sir, has made this one of my favorite elements as well now.
woaaah face reveal was the last thing I was expecting :D
Great vid!
Whoa..another gem TH-camr here

@@Rhodanide literally honoured sir! 🙏
Have a great day
@@swastikbiswas8293 You too!
Whenever I forget the name of this guys channel, I just search “bromine” and he is always the first to show up 😂
Thanks for making extremely cool and interesting videos, I enjoy them for quite some time now. Keep 'em coming! 😁
HOLY FACE REVEAL (YESSSSS). You look nice! You should show your face more often!
Bromine is the one thing I've never wanted to attempt to synthesize (although, I did synthesize hydrogen sulfide and wore a respirator and never had any issues). It freaked me out once when I saw a TH-cam video where someone filled up a container with bromine and put in one of the mostly-aluminum-bodied iPhones in it with literally zero safety gear. I shudder just thinking about it.
Which respirator did you use for the hydrogen sulfide? That stuff is nasty. Way more dangerous than bromine in my opinion
NileRed I'm not sure as it's at my house (which is 3 hours away). It's the only one I could find at Lowes, and it looked really similar to the one you had on (I think it was made by 3M?). I couldn't smell the hydrogen sulfide at all (until I bumped the mask about midway through, which is when I got a quick sniff of rotten eggs and death). Most of it was going into a Zinc Chloride solution, but there was a good bit more than I expected escaping. I left and came back the next morning when the synthesis was done, so I wasn't exposed for more than 30 minutes anyway.
Face reveal, sweet! Now convince Nurdrage to do the same! She really needs to stop hiding from us! ;)
She?
Nobody knows for sure. NurdRage could be a lizard person for all we know.
NileRed looks a lot like NurdRage's silhouette during those early patreon videos.
Nurdrage is more than 1 one person from a school chem department
nurdrage isnt a girl
No fume hood or respirator opening it? Now i know why Nile can’t smell anything 🤣🤣🤣
Holy cow, that was unexpected. You're *insanely* handsome, seriously.
Bromine and mercury are my two favorite elements because I also think it's cool that they're the only liquid elements at room temperature. :)
you're hotter than I imagined
+joebiekong dalitas sounds female. But I could be wrong
+Dalitas D no. Just wondering :)
MrFrankylll well the character, Dalitas, is female yes
He is angrier looking then expected, like no smile at all. Though thats likely because it was first time face reveal and he was a bit anxious.
agreed
Old school style was chill as
"Bromine can kill you!"
*proceeds to pour vaporized bromine all over the floor and table*
our boy almost choked to death because of bromine just to show us how it fumes. that is what I call dedication
Ok, your turn, Nurdrage =D
Nurdrage is more than 1 person from a School chem department, for reals
what?
He is anonymous.
He states "himself" that they are a group of science nerds
instructables.com
I'm sure there is more than one person behind the scenes. Doesn't mean it isn't just one person actually filming the experiments/demonstration.
genuinely spooked by face reveal. i essentially just forgot that this was nile red's channel and just assumed i was somewhere else for like 5 seconds when i saw his face.
"It's really not common to find bromine alone in nature"
I guess I am bromine now 😂
Those vapours look like some cheesy 70s effect from a Doctor Who story. That's really cool!
0:01 Hey guys! 👋
If you want to use up all your bromine in some chemistry, look up bromine oxidation of carbohydrates. I use bromine, potassium carbonate and water to turn riboses into ribolactones. The great thing about it is that it is selective for the anomeric hydroxyl group so all you need to do is make the acetonide of the 2'-3' hydroxyls and you're good to go on the oxidation. I can provide paper refs if its an idea that interests you.
My dumbass immediately thought "only other element to be liquid? What about water" 💀💀💀
Would have been nice to be recomended this during my high school
is this a first time face reveal
yes
you could see his face in reflections of flasks before though
I was pretty taken back as well brother. I hope to see more of it in the future. its good to put a face to the name.
4:12 what my dab rig looks like right now
I never expected Nile to look so Nile.... Your face definetly fits the channel man!
I liked it! You did well face to camera for a long video like this and your composure was seamless compared with your annotated videos. Though, I am not sure I like the annotated videos "more" or that I am just used to them. I wouldn't say doing a complete transition over to this form would be my preference. That being said though, you would NOT lose a subscriber because of it nor would I be any less enthusiastic for future videos when they drop. The non-personal aspect of seeing only the labware and apparatus adds a bit of a clinical feel to the video and removes and bit of subjective feel and I kind of like that. If that makes any sense?? lol
Same with NurdRage, Doug and (sady gone) Chem Player.
All in all though, its complete quality as we have come to expect and enjoy from your content. Keep it up, you're doing great! :-D
Mine too. And I believe Bromine is favorite element of many people.
One of very few elements that are liquid ant room temp. and the only non-metal there.
Very volatile with fascinating red vapor.
Alright NurdRage, your move.
The bromine vapor looks super cool
2:02 I saw this and thought "You're not wearing a fucking gas mask for this?"
Then he put a fucking gas mask on
Honestly i would love to see nike red do a whole series on all the emements like this
