This has to be one of my favorite videos around. It brings together The Professor, who is probably my favorite personality on UA-cam, with Max Whitby and Theodore Grey, whos website jump started my entire chemistry and element collecting hobbies. The excitement of the professor is just great to see, and I was just as excited watching along with him. Those periodic table displays are amazing and beautiful, a true blend of art and science! Thanks for making and sharing all these great videos.
Bismuth naturally forms an extremely AWESOME crystal made almost entirely of right angles (google image it), and varies in color with the oxides that it develops with. I myself have a little bitty chunk that I got my hands on on holiday in the mountains one time. Gorgeous little metal it is. =)
@ravnoUK it's astatine, so rare and has such a short half-life there only ever exists approximately 0.16g of it anywhere on earth. Also, note his comment "if it was pure astatine, we wouldn't be standing here"
This is art! Really splendid. Thanks to Dr. Max. I just read an advertisement for a tawdry looking bracelet for $18,000. Thus, in reconcile, $20,000 for this is quite a steal. Shame they used a bit of gold leaf for Au. And producing white phosphorous for science in a small amount would not be so bad. It's not like scientists/enthusiasts are going to use it to drop on people like Israel. Beautifully shot by the way. You can see everything nice and clear. Great job! Cheers!
I love Theodore Gray. I have his periodic table, known as "The Elements" and I also have his book "The Elements, A Look at Every Known Atom in the Universe." Both filled with pictures of all the elements that can possibly have a large enough lump of to take a picture of (beyond Americium, It's a lot of pictures of seals, or people like Rutherford or Bohr.
I have to tell you, this is one my personal items I want to obtain in my life, almost all the elements that make our visible universe trapped safely confined into beautiful acrilic or glass pieces like that. That would be wonderful to add with addiction of some light.
That's just a really cool wall. On that note I had someone ask me what Rhodium was because apparently they make pens out of in addition to gold/platinum. I just told them that it's so expensive, you've never heard of it.
I'm a chemistry student at Nottingham; if there's any funds going spare I think one of those would look pretty awesome in the foyer of the chemistry building!
A pleasure to see. If I had one at home my cats would make a shambles of it daily. I suppose putting everything back every day would be as good a method as any to memorise the table.
It took HUNDREDS of years to work out that these pure elements were the irreducible components of ALL matter. Chemistry was amazing detective-work, learning the chemical properties of atoms too small to see, trying to deduce the pure form of the elements (for many hundreds of years, some metals were separated were really the oxides of those metals).
That is a great idea! Those discharge tubes is an ingenious way to show the different noble gases. Any chance of a video showing where they make these things?
thats about the best i've seen a periodic table being featured before. if science had more... presentation, perhaps we could see a new influx of interest.. its a hope :)
thats soo cool! At Griffin Observatory here in Los Angeles they have one that's similar but nowhere as good as this one! Would definitely love to see this in real life :D
I have been thinking about this for a long time actually, and how I wanted to build a periodic table. I would love to buy one of these or even be a part of building them... is there a link to a place to buy these?
I don't think you'd be able to keep francium because it's rare (as in only a few atoms of it exist at any one time), reactive/unstable, and radioactive.
I noticed there was a space for Francium, but to my knowledge that's very difficult to get your hands on in a quantity that can be displayed. Do you know what it was replaced with, or whether it was infact there?
I'm a big fan of Theodore Gray, and am delighted to see this video! How long will it take me to save up £2,000? I look forward to the videos taken at the lab watching osmium being melted (I don't know why this is a treat . . . yet)
those are normal glasses with some plastic added on the sides to make it as effective as normal safety glasses. he probably never takes the plastic off because he has to wear it a lot every day
Or have a piece of glass over each slot where the elements sit and on this glass have the symbol of the element lightly etched in the glass. Have it very lightly etched so you can easily see through it, almost like a ghost symbol. But.... it might take away from the clear awesome view of the beautiful elements.
@XxTeamHazMatxX Its a halogen, probably more electronegative than the silicon in the glass on the Pauli scale, maybe it reduces the silicon dissolving the glass?
Excellent stuff - Brady, I trust you'll be in the party that goes to visit Dr Max's lab? And thanks to Dr Max - it's quite refreshing to see a hands-on chemist who's trying to avoid making things go bang. The acrylic display boxes both look good and disply the element well, and I'd love to have a wall like that.
That's is very cool. It's just too bad it's so expensive. In the futurefuture there will be holograms of all of the elements in order to keep the cost down.
@Kysen100 weren't you listening? when he was talking about astatine he said they used a form of uranium. i'm not sure about plutonium but uranium isn't very dangerous if its depleted, its just incredibly heavy and dense, so its still valuable
It would. I mean you'd have to have a room in your home that could house it properly and without it being obtrusive. But it would be really cool to have one.
@Drag0nfoxx No they don't. It's extremely had to store anti matter becuase it annihilates when it comes nto contact with matter. The only way to store it is in a magnetic field, but the longest anyone has ever stored it is about 6 seconds I think.
And actually at $2-20k its actually a lot cheaper than what I was expecting it to cost!
"I want to see gold!!!"**hand shaking,thrilled**
Moments later
"It's a bit thin"**disappointed**
4:35 The Professor was just like, "(>._.)>))) Lemme hold it. Please? Please? Just let me hold it."
LETS LOOK AT THE PHOSPHORUS!!
4:33 Its funny to see the professor extending his hand to hold that piece and that guy keeping it.
As an American all i can say is :ah, that's so cool"
I wonder if they have Plutonium there

The prof was pretty disappointed about the white phosphorus..
I want to know how they store hydrogen or helium... They diffuse through most substances rather easily at room temperature...
he should have put a tiny model of the atoms inside each acrylic block

This periodic table man loves his job very much

this is quite impressive. I do think at least 1 museum in every country of the world should have one for the chemistry enthusiasts...
I am not a chemist, but I NEED that table!
I love Theodore Gray. I have his periodic table, known as "The Elements" and I also have his book "The Elements, A Look at Every Known Atom in the Universe." Both filled with pictures of all the elements that can possibly have a large enough lump of to take a picture of (beyond Americium, It's a lot of pictures of seals, or people like Rutherford or Bohr.
I want this in my house...

i really love the sense of comradeship in these videos that passion in what they do is inspiring
There was a guy who built a literal "periodic table" with samples of each element inside of it. He did fantastic work of it.
That's just a really cool wall. On that note I had someone ask me what Rhodium was because apparently they make pens out of in addition to gold/platinum. I just told them that it's so expensive, you've never heard of it.
I'm a chemistry student at Nottingham; if there's any funds going spare I think one of those would look pretty awesome in the foyer of the chemistry building!
Thanks youtube recomendations for showing us this amazing videos from 10 years ago!!
I think it is very better to use gold in schools than in jewerly
That's a stunning collection of elements! Awesome!
A pleasure to see. If I had one at home my cats would make a shambles of it daily. I suppose putting everything back every day would be as good a method as any to memorise the table.
That is so cool.
Only the British would think of something like this while in the U.S UA-cam recommended you this video. Comment if I’m right
As an American I can honestly say that this is indeed so cool.
Come to Canada sometime. Just cuz
That is so cool eh
Pardon my ignorance, but why might looking at Astatine be fatal?
That neon sign in the begining is awesome!!! WANT!
It took HUNDREDS of years to work out that these pure elements were the irreducible components of ALL matter. Chemistry was amazing detective-work, learning the chemical properties of atoms too small to see, trying to deduce the pure form of the elements (for many hundreds of years, some metals were separated were really the oxides of those metals).
it would be soooooo nice if there were more elements shown, but still a great video
This is awesome! I wish this was in my university! :)
My Uni needs to get one of these! Bloody brilliant :D
does it have plutonium?
That is a great idea!
Those discharge tubes is an ingenious way to show the different noble gases.
Any chance of a video showing where they make these things?
"Why haven't you got white phosphorus?" xD
words cannot describe how much i want that periodic table...
thats about the best i've seen a periodic table being featured before. if science had more... presentation, perhaps we could see a new influx of interest.. its a hope :)
Apparently I'm the only other one here who heard when he said, "in America it's a constant stream of people saying, 'man, that's so cool!'."
thats soo cool! At Griffin Observatory here in Los Angeles they have one that's similar but nowhere as good as this one! Would definitely love to see this in real life :D
That is simply gorgeous!
When I'm rich and famous I'm going to put one of those displays in my living room :D
5:00 So true. take my word for it.
-Person from Syracuse NY (where the sun never shines.)
I have been thinking about this for a long time actually, and how I wanted to build a periodic table. I would love to buy one of these or even be a part of building them... is there a link to a place to buy these?
He said that especially Americans say "that is soo cool", so now Joseph, being an American, said "that it is cool", it was a joke. ;)
O_O when he said "Rhodium"
I don't think you'd be able to keep francium because it's rare (as in only a few atoms of it exist at any one time), reactive/unstable, and radioactive.
glad to see Theodore Gray is still around making periodic tables
I noticed there was a space for Francium, but to my knowledge that's very difficult to get your hands on in a quantity that can be displayed. Do you know what it was replaced with, or whether it was infact there?
Quite entertaining, and it seem we will eventually see a live cast... NO-no, not a podcast nor a videocast, but an element-cast!
I'm a big fan of Theodore Gray, and am delighted to see this video! How long will it take me to save up £2,000? I look forward to the videos taken at the lab watching osmium being melted (I don't know why this is a treat . . . yet)
Fantastic video, has anyone got the link to the manufacturers website?
Beautiful work!
That is Astatine, symbol At. It is a halogen below Iodine on the periodic table.
do they have one with the antimatter equivalents of the elements as well? I'd like to see that!
It would be awesome to have the elements in the shape of the Symbol... (Au, C, Pb, Os etc etc) Though, this would be very expensive I would think
Wow! I gotta get me one of those!
those are normal glasses with some plastic added on the sides to make it as effective as normal safety glasses. he probably never takes the plastic off because he has to wear it a lot every day
there should be one in every school!!
Or have a piece of glass over each slot where the elements sit and on this glass have the symbol of the element lightly etched in the glass. Have it very lightly etched so you can easily see through it, almost like a ghost symbol. But.... it might take away from the clear awesome view of the beautiful elements.
@Neamento haha, it's illegal to display francium because it's radioactive and very hot, they probably put something else.
Just thought this video needed a recent comment. That is all.
What a beautiful table!, every chemistry college should get one of them, at least the baby one ^^ it's so didactic...wonderful video.
wow, 19,3 to 19,15, thats one hell of a difference
:D
I love the video
@XxTeamHazMatxX
Its a halogen, probably more electronegative than the silicon in the glass on the Pauli scale, maybe it reduces the silicon dissolving the glass?
Yeah. The crystals it forms are crazy looking and strangely intricate. Almost like some ancient artifact.
Excellent stuff - Brady, I trust you'll be in the party that goes to visit Dr Max's lab?
And thanks to Dr Max - it's quite refreshing to see a hands-on chemist who's trying to avoid making things go bang. The acrylic display boxes both look good and disply the element well, and I'd love to have a wall like that.
Many chemicals are scarce and hard to obtain. It's just a matter of supply and demand + the manufacturing.
That's is very cool. It's just too bad it's so expensive. In the futurefuture there will be holograms of all of the elements in order to keep the cost down.
I WANT ONE. Or for my University to have one if nothing else.
The professor's protecive glasses are BAD ASS!!
I like this guy, because I am also quite fond of Tungsten! I like how he says it's one of his favorite lumps of matter in the world :P
that was great and i definitely believe it would attract students to the sciences
I have always wanted to do that!
@Kysen100
weren't you listening? when he was talking about astatine he said they used a form of uranium. i'm not sure about plutonium but uranium isn't very dangerous if its depleted, its just incredibly heavy and dense, so its still valuable
omg if my school had one i would just set aside an afternoon to go hang out in front of it and look at all of them
It is now my life's mission to earn enough money to buy one of those tables
Did they have Technetium?
(personally i doubt it but i didn't see it missing or the entire thing is a little too shiny lol)
Ive wanted to do this forever
gee this is amazing thank you for making this video !! i find your videos really epic!
What would happen if someone opened and mixed all those together and started heating it up?
I hope you accept his invite to his lab!
JUST AMAZING! I want to think like these people!
It would. I mean you'd have to have a room in your home that could house it properly and without it being obtrusive. But it would be really cool to have one.
I wish I could buy the Professor one of these displays! Why don't we start a collection for him?!
Ty youtube for showing me this in 2020. Better later than never :D
I wish they made quarters in the US out of different elements instead of each state!
@winterstellar Depends on what you want, some things are very cheap, like sulfur, other are expensive as as hell, some not even possible to get.
What is the element on 4:13 ?.. i have problems finding it.
@bodinian And it's also the most diamagnetic material at room temperature.
@Drag0nfoxx No they don't. It's extremely had to store anti matter becuase it annihilates when it comes nto contact with matter. The only way to store it is in a magnetic field, but the longest anyone has ever stored it is about 6 seconds I think.
Very nice American accent and yes the display is so cool :)
@flame123117 He did, its the melting silver video, it should be in the suggested videos just right from here.
Really cool I like it.
one of the most intersting periodicvideos ... videos
AHHH that is sooooo cool
