    Also in Russia the Periodic table is called 'the mendeleev's table'

    I am a bit surprised that Hank did not discuss how Dmitri's mother basically hitchhiked from Siberia to St. Petersburg in order to provide Dmitri with an education. What is even more remarkable is how shortly after transporting Dmitri to St. Petersburg, she passed away. If you desire an excellent example of parental sacrifice for their children, well here you go!

    I'm continuously surprised by the elegance of the periodic table. At first it seems so simple but you can learn so much about each element simply based on its position. It's pretty much the Shakespeare of chemistry.

    Hey Hank, NYC chemistry teacher of many years here. I loved your original video of Mendeleev complete with Dmitri getting a sore bottom and the cartoons pixs to go along with your narration. However, breaking up that longish video into two smaller ones has been wonderful. My students can sit for 4-5 minutes and watch a video, take notes and absorb more effectively than your longer one so thank you for doing that. You really are superb in your narrations and I enjoy what you bring to the world of chemistry. Best--

    • @executormmm
      @executormmm 9 років тому

      It's probably because there are atleast 9 documentaries about him. Still, the greatest mind of all times in my oppinion (Archimedes was also a no joke guy, but he was on machinery - inventing is easier than observing... and on that scale and that precision...)

    • @triturus5785
      @triturus5785 9 років тому +4

      Because there is much evidence that his evolotion theory is false !

    • @executormmm
      @executormmm 9 років тому +2

      When you talk about evidence, you are addressing a 3rd party yellow magazine article or an experiment that everyone can confirm by testing it himself? Because i tend to believe at information that is closer to it's source, sry for that! :) If i can make my screensaver calculate a random creature that, by evolving, manages to walk after a day or two (and i can also make it from scratch, changing the enviroment) i tend to believe that, i'm sorry again :).
      If you can not understand something there are 2 options - either this thing is not true or you are not that smart and need to put more work on the subject! Some brains search for the 1st option - saves energy and they feel better, and some tend to search for option 2.
      So - option 1 - you can't understand something and see someone saying he have evidence this thing is false.
      - option 2 - you can't understand something but if you put alot of effort you can replicate it and see how it actually works, but you need a basic programing skills and maybe a few days to make it work on your own.

    • @executormmm

    Natrium and Kalium are the Latin names of Sodium and Potassium. The "Na" and "K" are derived from the Latin names. The elements are only referred to as Sodium and Potassium.
    The same goes for Tin [Stannum (Sn)], Antimony [Stibum (Sb)], Copper [Cuprum (Cu)], Iron [Ferrum (Fe)], Tungsten [Wolfram (W)] and a bunch of others.
    Hope this helps.
