    So I'm studying chemistry and just today we went on a trip to Freiberg, Germany (which is near where I live). In Freiberg Clemens Winkler discovered the Germanium in 1886. We visited his old laboratory and saw some fancy letters from Mendeleev and now Hank uploaded that video. All of this makes me more that happy right now.

      The main sickness of Mendeleevs table was, that he wrote elements in it, witch were found/invented decades later after his death. There are two ways: 1.) This dude was god and knew the future or 2.) he understood, what nature is.

    • @Mig29tvc
      @Mig29tvc 8 років тому +2

      Yes, but Mendeleev let empty places in his pereodic table. He already new, that there are elements in the nature, which must be accurete in this group, have axactly this weight and be part of this unit. He not just ordered elements, he understood the whole system already at his time while the table still today is uncomplete.

    A little correction at 2:30. Mendeleev's first table had the atomic weights increase in the vertical direction, and elements in the same rows had similar chemical properties. Basically he had his row and column's purposes switched compared to our modern usage of the table.

      There was a time when the letter "Z" was the seventh letter. It had been removed from the Latin alphabet until its reintroduction a long time later; explaining why it's the last letter. Some letters were originally loan letters from other languages ("K", "Q", "X", "Y" and "Z") while there existed former letters ("Þ", "ƿ", "&") that became a digraph ("th") in the first case, in the first two cases blended into other letters (e.g. "Y", "W") or in the latter case dropped entirely.
      The most recent letter added that is still present in the Latin alphabet is the letter "J" and I would love to have separate glyphs for some of the sounds that are currently written as digraphs such as "Þ" or "Θ" for the "th" sounds and "Ш" for the "sh" sound.

  • @KodyackCasual

    @Fourmarduk666 if you mean the lanthinide and actinide series, those are under there because they would extend the periodic table based on how electrons and such group together. they really go right in the middle, but would mess up the spacing and make the table huge. as such, they are under the table and are basically the "F" blocks, and the only two "F"blocks on the periodic table, the other ones being "S" "P" and "D" which make up the other areas that are on the main table.

    @pikachparty565 groups are collumns, all elements (generally) have the same number of valence (last shell) electrons, periods are rows, same number of shells. It's pretty basic this, but if you're interested in learning more, in senior chemistry you learn spdf notation which better explains the divisons between metals, metaloids, gasses, lanthanides and actinides. Then in uni you learn quantum notation.

    @minitari it's actually spelled differently in American English than British English. He's pronouncing it correctly for American English. The reason for the different spellings/pronunciations of many words is due to Webster, the American Lexicographer who wrote the American English Dictionary. In part this was to highlight some differences already present following the American Revolution, but also it was a further intentional act meant to help solidify the division between the two countries.

  • @TheClevelandWellson
    @TheClevelandWellson 12 років тому

    @d4g0thur My understanding--and I could be mistaken--is that it was called aluminum before it was called aluminium, and British scientists, writers, and editors started spelling it with that second 'i' to make it fit in better with other element names that ended in -ium. Actually you'll find that much of the time, when American and British spellings and pronunciations differ, the American one is the older, more conservative one, for various fun historical linguistic reasons.

    How should we organise the alphabet? I suggest vowels first, then consonants. And they should all be sorted according to the place of articulation, so that for the vowels youæd have i - y - u, e - "schwa" - ø/ö etc. In the case of consonants I don't know where you'd start but voiced and unvoiced consonants articulated at the same place could be next to each other (or they could be two different groups). E.g. k - g, p - b, f - v.

    Good question! I can tell the vid needs a little clarification: elements can't be broken down (or be transformed into other element) using chemical methods/reactions (that's the exact definition of an element). But elements can be broken down or created using physical methods, (like fision and fusion). In short, natural-radioactve and synthetic elements decompose themselves into enegy and/or another lighter elements according with some nuclear physics laws.

    @Quargos In America, "aluminum" (without the second i) is used and accepted, though there is apparently an interesting story on why that is (apparently the very man who named the element used both spellings at different times and settled on "aluminium" because his colleagues liked how nicely it fit with the other -iums, but we use -um apparently because the option was in Webster's dictionary and a lot of people used it rather than -ium). Even my spell check is currently favoring -um. =]
