    "And 5, if you're a mathematician, you will know is half of 10" This is some advanced math right here lol.

      Actually, if 0 doesn't exist, half of 10 is 5.5

      pipnina Not true....zero is not a factor so is not relevant.

    • @KajoFox
      @KajoFox 9 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      baarni Get 10 things, pick the middle one. 10 is an even number and there is no integer middle value when the value represents objects in a line.

    • @baarni
      @baarni 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      pipnina yes correct. Therefore you cannot halve the sixth item to create 5.5 otherwise you would only have 4.5 things in the second half of your division as you originally stated.
      Messed up hey...So to halve 10 items you can only have 2 groups of 5 with a divide in between....;-p
      You just contradicted your first statement

    Where I grew up you could buy potassium permanganate crystals in the pharmacy without a prescription, to make light pink disinfecting wound washing rinses (weaker than bleach, you also could get tincture or iodine), but we as 9 year old kids would buy a packet of like 1 gram, and use the crystals to create artificial sneezes. You pick out a crystal and stick it in your nose, and it's an instant sneeze. I only did it like twice in my life, but some of my friends found it so interesting that they did it over and over and over and I'm like dude, you're messing up your mucuous lining like that, and creating permanent damage or something. Crazy!
    We also used to shave match heads into a loud noise making device, made of two male screws screwed into a female one from the opposite side, and a piece of shopping bag tied around the end of one of them, which, when you throw it up in the air, becomes the tail as the screw contraption falls down, guaranteeing that it will hit the cement sidewalk tip first. So you unscrew one of the male screws, and shave some match heads into the chamber between the two screws, then screw it back on fairly tight, and throw it up in the air so when it lands it hits the cement floor. Booom!
    Fun, fun fun!
    We also stole calcium carbide from the welding generators at the nearby construction site, and put it in a wine bottle the alcoholic construction workers left empty around the construction site, with a cork, so you fill it with water, drop a piece of grey-brown carbide covered with white lime, and plug the cork, and 30 seconds later pop! it shoots it up into the air. I'm thinking H2O2 with a drop of MnO2 catalyst into it would also do it, unfortunately the reaction rate is too uncontrolled between MnO2 and H2O2, unless you use a small piece. MnO2 is also a great O2 generator catalyst when trying to get O2 out of KClO3 or KClO4, which, when heated, have a high decomposition temperature, or KClO3 actually turns into KClO4 without decomposition, but in the presence of a little MnO2 it comes out fast. MnO2 like PbO2 is also a great Cl2 generator from HCl, maybe from bleach too, and I think I read somewhere that cobalt gives you O2 from bleach while manganese and lead give Cl2. PbCl4 might exist at some low temperature and decomposes at something like 5C, I'd have to look it up, like chlorine hydrate is also stable at low temp. I don't know about MnCl4 if it's ever stable, but Mn2O7 exists for sure, and it's wild.

    Manganese is not strictly in the middle of the transition metals, but it is one of the 2 yes, the other being Iron (as would be seen by a mathematician or more specifically a statistician). Idk why Manganese is more special than Iron, I am guessing it has got something to do with the half filled d-orbitals. Mn has all its d-orbitals half filled, but iron has one filled d-orbital.

  • @frankium264
    @frankium264 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Manganese is one of my personal favorite transition metals. It has many different colored salts, the colors can be easily changed through redox. Its oxides are strong enough oxidants to generate halogens (primarily what I use them for). KMnO4 makes spectacular pyrotechnic reactions with reducing agents as well. KMnO4 can also be converted to Mn2O7 with sulfuric acid. I've done so before and it is so reactive that it instantly ignites/detonates substances such as alcohols on contact.

    During WWII, the United States removed the nickel from the alloy used in it's five-cent "nickel" coins (Cu75/Ni25) to, supposedly, divert it to arms production. They replaced it with silver and manganese (Cu56/Ag35/Mn9). As an indicator of the alloy change, the placed very large mintmarks above Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home) pictured on the reverse. The color of the alloy is strikingly different to anyone familiar with coins. It is speculated that the true reason for the change was public relations - demonstrating reallocation of resources for the war effort - in an attempt to encourage scrap collection, etc.

    I'm surprised the reaction of permanganate and glycerine wasn't mentioned. Reduce the permanganate crystals to a powder with a pestle and mortar and arrange in a pile (like a small hill). Drip some glycerine on top and it should start to catch fire, looking like a volcano! The permanganate is a powerful oxidant and the glycerine is the fuel.

    I must disagree with the professor on one thing here. Zinc is technically not a transition metal; it's ground state atom contains a completely filled d subshell and its 2+ oxidation state (virtually the only oxidation state in which it exists) involves the loss of only the 4s electrons. Zinc also typically forms diamagnetic, colourless compounds, in contrast to those of the transition metals which are paramagnetic and coloured.

      Wolf Truong Scandium isn't either - it forms 3+ ions which results in loss of the 4s and 3d electrons

    ***** Can you please do an in depth video on Thorium, I am studying Thorium as a stable reactor replacement over Uranium Reactors or more over the Thorium reactors in question are called LFTR and it's quite remarkable and even so because of the fact that it can use spent nuclear energy rods and waste as fuel etc etc etc and i think allot of people that follow this channel would love to learn about this, especially the fact that in a LFTR reactor there is 0 risk of a reactor meltdown in a Thorium reactor, just a suggestion.

    My friend and I tried to make a firework incorporating potassium permanganate, thinking that we would get purple sparks. It was just a kid's chemistry set from "Toys by Roy" so we failed to get what we expected.

    Well frankly Manganese is less interesting than I expected :) Just kidding.

    I thought that Scandium and Zinc weren't considered to be transition metals, only d-block elements, because they don't form ions with an incomplete d sub-shell?

    Here is the instant-cure if you don't already appreciate manganese;
    1: start the video.
    2: press 0.
    3: repeat until you appreciate manganese, or until you feel like you absolutely must watch the rest of the video.

    As with most of us alive. We can only see soo much. All of us individually know practically nothing in proportion to what could be known. Its hard to see past our own nose. Which is exactly why we are not the same. We are not equal. We aren't supposed to be . To think we are equal or should be striving toward it is completely absurd. Lol.

    Whern the KMnO_4 was put into the solution, the purple crystals fell leaving a trail of prefectly spaced bubbles on the slow motion footage.You can clearly see their frequency, what is causing this frequency instead of a solid stream?
    I know that if you want to be technical, it will never be a solid stream because they are molecules but the fact that they are released in little bubble bursts at a specific rate just boggles my mind right now. So interesting, but would someone care to explain this? Maybe some theories? I'm super curious :3

    Manganese, Along with red Iron oxide. black manganese oxide pigments are among the earliest known, having been found in cave paintings dating from at least 17,000 years ago.

    Why Metallic manganese was not attracted by mangenet?
    As it has 5 unpaired electrons in d orbital. It should be paramagnetic in nature.

    In a standard D battery there is a copper electrode surrounded by manganese dioxide soaked in ammonium chloride solution.
    I used to mix this manganese dioxide with aluminium powder and obtained a thermite reaction but didn’t see any manganese. I suspect it burned in the heat of the reaction.
    Later I read this MnO2 mixture with aluminium could be explosive so I didn’t do it again. It wasn’t randomly thrown together, it was in stoichiometric proportions and even small quantities could be ignited with a blowtorch.

    Really weird that mnso4 is magnitic salt! Just like magnetic oxides. But i wonder if the solution of mnso4 in water could be magnetic, can you answer the question?

    Zinc isn't a transition metal? A2 chemistry course in the transition metals module excludes Zinc from transition metals.
    Am I right? Or just misinformed?

    Don't tell Neil that I broke the bottle. Just record me saying it and upload the video to TH-cam where anyone can see it, he'll never find out! Well, I think he too will forgive you in the interest of science. I never knew manganese was such an interesting element!
