Grown adult in his 30s, and I enjoy watching these because they remind me of PBS science shows from back in the day. I was today years old when I learned about CHNOPS, and how they integrate into everything.

I appreciate all the works u’ve put to the video! Btw could u please let me know what kind of editing program u use making the video? Like premier pro or after effect?
It is because: Carbon atom is the unique atom that can form 4 stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and a wide range of other elements, and it can do so in many different ways from rings, to chains, to double or even triple bonds. This results in many different types of organic molecules. So, from my understanding, carbon is the main key player for organic chemistry, the essence of biochemistry, and oxygen, nitrogen, iron and zinc are his sidekicks to make variety of structure with different purposes: Iron -> heme group in hemoglobin Oxygen -> for oxidation and energy Nitrogen -> for protein Phosphorus -> for back bone of DNA You may ask why silicon cannot be organic even though silicon also has 4 valence electron to form 4 bonds, it is because silicon is a metalloid and cannot bond with other atoms. Its bond with itself and other atoms is not stable and stronger compare with Carbon atom. Hope it helps! Stay Curious.
You *do* have iron! Just very little of it. An average human has about 3 or 4 grams of iron, or about 0.005% of the body. It's required for hemoglobin, which is in your blood.
Sigh... Nice information mixed in with unnecessary abstraction. implying intentionally and "goal seeking" from atoms in the rhetoric is just lazy wrong.
Like, testosterone and estrogen don't "prepare your body for what's to happen". They do not have intentionality to know what "prepare" means. They are chemical compounds that interact with other compounds created by body systems due to a long chain of causality. We don't need to anthropomorphize functions of chemicals and physics. I find it often leads to accidental compartmentalization and hazing of spaces for inquisitive thought. Of course the benefit of simplified abstraction and thus subjective engagement with the scope of the symbolic makes for a more engaging and memorable video for recollection later...
I often hear "anthropomorphized" and "implied agency" with many videos, it's a thing I just ignore since it's a common way to communicate. It's much easier than saying "statistically likely"

I am so pleased that you are doing this course. You have an engaging presentation. Thanks.
Love the narrator’s presentation skills and the graphics make learning engaging and fun.
ABSOLUTE BEST series in a while. Well done, Doc !
Dude gives off serious LeVar Burton vibes and I am HERE FOR IT.
I smashed my chemistry class thanks to crashcourse.
Same & that's how I found the channel back in 2014 or 15
I crashed my chemistry course thanks to smash class.
I wish i had resources like this when i was at school. 😢
we all here do
As an old person, apparently, I appreciate the Trogdor reference. Glory to the burninator.
Burninating the countryside
Informative as always.
Love it! Thank you!❤
Great video. I love it! Thank you so much.
Amazing ❤
as always: a great video!

This is so much fun , thanks.
This guy is awesome!
Woot! Organic chemistry!
I prefer the CHONPS acronym, it sounds nicer
New video!!
Kinda disappointed that you didn't call the team "Sponch". Rolls off the tongue better.
Theme music needs more base!
some Peppermint CHNOPS plz
Hi how's it going watching from Broomfield Colorado
First!!!
Yeah but my question is still unanswered. Why is life made up of some specific elements only. Why is Carbon and oxygen alive but iron and zinc not?

and the best and perhaps only umpire goes tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo umm a platypus
Are you wearing that orange hoodie to look like phosphorus?
