    Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
    In this video I would like to tell you about the most treacherous element that will make anyone who dares to hold it just for a few seconds in his hands, regret his decision. In the periodic table of chemical elements tellurium is right below selenium, in group 16, and in contrast to the elements preceding it, tellurium belongs to semimetals. Tellurium is very scarce in Earth’s crust and its rarity is compared to that of platinum. Tellurium is so rare because during the first stages of Earth formation, its compounds reacted with water forming volatile hydrogen telluride, which has easily vanished into the open space throughout Earth’s existence. Today this same metal is obtained when copper electroplating produces by-products in the form of tellurides of precious metals, which later on are reduced to mettalic tellurium. After refining, pieces of this metal look very similar to pieces of any other metal, although holding this metal in the hands for just a few seconds is enough to make sure it is tellurium. Smallest bits of tellurium can bind with oil on our fingers and get inside the organism through skin pores. This is not necessarily deadly but it’s very unpleasant to those around you because inside the organism, tellurium metabolizes into dimethyl telluride.

    One of the few forms of gold compounds that occurs in nature is gold telluride. There's a story of a town in Australia that LITERALLY paved their roads with gold for years without knowing it, because they found some nearby abundant mineral that they had never seen before but which was good for making concrete out of..... and it turned out to be gold telluride.

Now I wonder if those stinky burning CDs were ones with tellurium. Fascinating.

    There's another reason why tellurium is rare at Earth's surface. Because it's the only element that combines with quite a few unreactive metals like gold, and then it ended up getting pulled to the Earth's core. Gold telluride is an actual thing, that is found in nature.

      +Tail Indigo - and do you think that's what scientists do? toss bits of Na into water then stand around and go ooooo... look at the sparks? you are likewise living proof of exactly what is wrong with education. the demonstration you mention MIGHT be appropriate for elementary school children who need to be entertained in order to get their attention. but by the time you're in jr high, you OUGHT to be self-motivated, self-disciplined, focused, patient, hard-working, and willing and able to study "boring pictures and words" all on your own WITHOUT the need to be constantly "entertained" with TRIVIAL demonstrations.
      because science IS tedious, and time-consuming, and requires millions of man-hours of boring, repetitive, experimentation, documentation, and literature searches. and if you want to participate in that great endeavor, you need to first learn what's already known, and THAT is an enormous undertaking. grow the fuck up, dimwit. if you want to be entertained, turn on the boobtube and piss your life away repeating the same mental masturbation over and over and over. on the other hand, if you REALLY want to understand the universe, be prepared to commit yourself to a lifetime of intense focus and tedious examination of the minutiae of observations, in the hope of having an ORIGINAL insight.
      and FYI, it's NOT the teachers' job to motivate you, asshole. that's YOUR job! if you're not motivated, that's YOUR fault, and your parents' fault. teachers can't LEARN for you. spoonfeeding you random factoids, whether by "boring pictures and words" or by inane displays of pyrotechnics, then giving you a trophy and a pat on the head when you regurgitate a correct response on a multiple-guess test does NOT help you develop the ability to THINK , or to SOLVE PROBLEMS. only time, patience, and hard work can do that, and only YOU can supply those.
      and we both know that YOU are NOT going to do that, otherwise you would already be DOING it. instead, you're here wasting your time on YT looking for the next shiny bauble to catch your attention and pointlessly entertain you for two seconds before you move on to the next pointless diversion.

    Chemists are amazing. The early ones had no idea about atomic structure but worked out everything by constantly finding new ways to make different substances react with each other. If I had some tellurium, I’d just keep it at the bottom of the garden. They, on the other hand, are compelled to poke it with a stick.

    Interestingly enough, tellurium is in the same family as sulfur. Sulfur containing compounds are responsible for the pungent odors in the garlic and onion family.
    Also what's interesting is that in the same way that silver is sensitive to sulfur, gold is also sensitive to tellurium.

      Oxygen is also in the same column, which raises the question: is Oxygen also stinky and we evolved to not react to it? Or maybe its stink factor is low enough to be undetectable. This might have implications should we meet aliens not native to a nitrox atmosphere. XD
