Music Pro Lol I know exactly what you mean...... I commented on their last video, Which you can guess the topic ( hint; sexual reproduction ) and I said I feel like these vids are like a regular topic and just pop out of nowhere. 😹😹😹😹😹
and not only that. It's hardly true it defies quantum theory. Correct quantum theory is relativistic, but in chemistry non-relativistic theory (which is easier) is usually enough. It's not enough for chemical properties of Berkelium, and that's really interesting and hard problem to solve, but it's not anything unique. There are bunch properties, that need relativistic quantum chemistry in order to be explained. For example the fact that gold is yellow needs relativity, with basic theory it should look like silver. Other very common phenomena that need relativity are for example that mercury is liquid or gold is denser than lead
I was just thinking this. You can have isotopes with less protons, but more neutrons and heavier nuclei and still they wont supersede an element with more protons in the periodic table.
Atomic number was not known in the time of Mendeleev. He organized them by average (chemically measured) atomic mass, which turned out to be the average of an element’s isotopes in their natural abundance. In one case (chlorine) there are two isotopes in almost equal abundance, giving an average of about 35.5. In one or more other cases (I can’t remember which right now), two consecutive elements swapped places after the proton was discovered and the atomic number could be measured.
Trace, it's not as bad as you're making it. QM hasn't failed us. We'd have to employ a relativistic Schrodinger equation of varying exactness. The particular form we'd utilise would likely depend on whether we'd have to seriously account for relativistic quantum fields too, in addition to the magnitude of effective velocities of the electrons.
These kinds of youtubers think they can learn the physics on wikipedia and then spread their misunderstandings to wider audience. This is getting ridiculous. Don't preach in the field you're not qualified in. Why is it so difficult to comprehend? There is a reason why it takes at least 3 years to get a mere BSc in Physics.
The Elephant's Foot disagrees. It is the object with the longest halflife in the planet, being made of Plutonium, Polonium, and multiple other elements such as the ones present in sand and concrete.
Worse even. The concept of the electrons moving at great speed around the nucleus was dismissed a long time ago, as they would quickly loose their energy by radiation loss.
I wonder if these heavy elements might act weird because of gravity, since they are heavy and dense, maybe its own gravity can account for the anomalies in its behavior.
As a Computational Chemist, this video hurt and so do the comments. Let me address some of the bigger misconceptions here: 1. Lanthanoids etc IS CORRECT AND PREFERRED. The suffix -ide implies a negative charge, e.g. the Bromide ion Br-. As the F-block are metallic elements who usually occupy the +3 oxidation state, we prefer the suffix -oid to solve this confusion. 2. It's pronounced Berkelium. Say it with me slowly: Ber-kee-lee-um. Also, while we're here, Al-you-min-ee-um. 3. Relativistic quantum chemistry accounts successfully for all of Berkelium's known properties. It also successfully accounts for the liquid state of Mercury and the colour of Gold- both of which are relativistic effects. Chemistry isn't "broken", you're just using it wrong. 4. Please stop falling back on E=MC². This is NOT THE REASON WE CANNOT GO FASTER THAN LIGHT. The full eqation is E²=(MC²)² + P²C², which accounts for far more behaviour than the simplified, non-relativistic case (where P
And you're a British asshole who thinks 65 million people can tell 320 million how to speak their own language. American English is accepted and the de facto common form of English. Most people in other countries around the world seek to learn American English precisely because of condescending, arrogant, and pompous know-it-all Brits such as yourself. The UK = the land of true seppos.
This title is so click bait. You don't explain why Bk is defying the quantum theory. And it is so little understood, so how can you actually know that it defies it?
For particles to behave in the ways stated in quantum mechanics, they would have to be: 1) Isolated 2) Containing more energy than its environment So this might be why?
I highly suggest watching the video in the description from FSU (Florida State University). The original professor who did the research explains that Berkelium isn't "breaking quantum mechanics," but that Hund's Rules need to incorporate Einsteinian relativity for very large atoms.
2:27 The electrons move around the element? I thought it was clear that, unless observed, no electron is moving around the nucleus. There is the wave function instead that determines the state of the electron. No?
I'm lactose intolerant. Glad you cleared that up. Now I'll be able to enjoy your video without discomfort. Excellent video, by the way. You might want to do something similar in explaining why mercury is liquid at room temp, and why gold is yellow in color. Relativity enters both pictures.
I really feel like schools should embrace this unknown space more. We get taught many things and.. ignore a lot too but most of the time we don't know if that's because its not important (right now or at all) or undiscovered. asking important and theoretical questions could make a class much more interesting while sparking young people's interest in exploring new science.
I'm no physicist, but I thought that quantum electrodynamics already took into account special relativity effects such as this one. Maybe they've been using simpler quantum theories to explain the rest of the atoms, and for this one they need the full spectrum of physics. Good video!
And its how you know that this is all junk science. More and more professors are coming out with the truth, and even Einstein admitting that his GTR is false. The co-founder wrote a book about how it is false, the co-founder! But its not anything schools will teach about. They have the "Peer Review Brothers". LOL So sad where science has come today. Who would have thought it would turn into the biggest religion of belief!
kinshuk sarkar And maybe a hint about what is supposed to break quantum theory there ^^. Nothing but a missinterpretation of scientific news. Happens too often :(
Well when you punch someone slowly he or she won't feel it as a punch but as a touch, but if you hit them fast it will hurt cuz of the force and speed, so it does seem like arm is heavier
TheHarshShow That's because Newton's physics is accurate for the use we have for it on our microscopic level. Our own solar system is microscopic in that regard, and we haven't even left it.
@0:10 I agree most people don't care about the actinoid group and for the most part have no reason to, but the lanthanoids have a lot of practical elements - most of us are watching this video because of them.
Elements are not grouped by similar properties, they are grouped by electron structure. The brilliant insight is this electron structure correspondence to chemical properties.
Good to see that you showed the periodic table with all elements symbol (114,115,117,118). My science text shows Rg as last n others with latin letters
It is more accurate to say that, just like in the video, is that they are not naturally occurring on Earth. There are plenty of space where more extreme things are happening that we can never (and may never) be able to do. What kind of elements would come into being on a body of some kind being blasted by the jets of a feeding black hole? Under the extreme magnetic fields near neutron stars?
They dont occur naturally, commonly, here. There could be a place in the universe where they are being created and then decay immediately, there could also be a place in the universe where different fields of gravitational and electromagnetic forces, amongst other kinds, could potentially allow this element to exist in a stable way over longer periods of time and in larger quantities
My high school chemistry teacher cut the periodic table in half, and taped the actinides and lanthanides in the middle of the transition elements, so all the numbers would go in sequence.
The Prof showed a folding periodic table, that starts as just the group i to Viii elements, then opens out to reveal the transition metals, then opens again to include the lanthanides.
Arranging elements by atomic weight seems to obvious to praise a chemist over. Mendeleev’s big contribution was his discovery of the periodic patterns in the elements’ chemical properties. It is these patterns that led him to leave gaps in his table for elements that had yet to be discovered.
They aren't "Lanthinoids" and "Actinoids", they are Lanthanides and Actinides. Your writer needs a spell checker. Amazing that this slipped past everyone on your your team.
"The actinide [...] or actinoid" that... that is part of _first_ sentence on wikipedia page regarding actinide. Can you sometimes check facts? It's found here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide
I am actually confused a bit here. Quantum mechanics tells us that electrons do not orbit, they are at all positions each moment of time, and all we have is the probability of finding elector at some location, which is described by the Schrodinger wave function. So if an electron doesn't orbit, how it could move faster for heavier atoms?
Yea, that group at the bottom is a mistake. I fixed it. By arranging the primordial elements according to periodicity in accordance with well known circular calendrical systems, Lanthanum lands next to scandium and all the others fall into their proper place. These in turn correlate precisely with the function of the corresponding calendrical locations. Timeskool.com It forms a labyrinth with sacred geometric properties. The key is understanding the four outside elements. Bromine, Krypton, Arsenic, and Selenium. This configuration makes it easier to predict behaviors of compounds and can easily be expanded by adding the appropriate decay chains.
You humans should try to stabilize(make a non radioactive isotope via proton neutron shell manipulation) the lightest radioactive element first then it will be easier for you to understand these heavier unstable elements
I'm pretty sure this guy is not in any way scientifically trained since he can't decide on the names of the f-orbital elements nor the obvious reason they are not included in the bulk of the periodic table
Kay, I've read like 10 of your "jokes" in this comment section and they all pretty much sucked. I may have been less rude, except you ended every single one with SICK BURN! PS: SICK BURN!
Yes, as a British speaker of English (and PhD chemist) I too thought Berkelium was pronounced differently - as in, for want of a better notation, "Burk-eelium". It seems I now stand corrected!
Unopentium, (Up 115), has the strong nuclear force that extends outside the nucleus. Apparently it is so far, the only element where this occurs. Not sure how it done or how this was detected.
Anyone else reminded of the cartoon series "li'l Elvis Jones and the truckstoppers" A mysterious rare element mined called Berkonium which defines the laws of physics.
We already screwed over science with Lorentz Law, you want to stir that pot? More and more professors are coming out with the truth, and even Einstein admitting that his GTR is false. The co-founder of Relativity wrote a book about how it is false, the co-founder! But its not anything schools will teach about. They have the "Peer Review Brothers". LOL So sad where science has come today. Who would have thought it would turn into the biggest religion of belief! And sadly, the more studied one is, the more they are stuck in this framework on how to look at properties. What a messed up system. No wonder we are still figuring things out , like electrostatics and dielectrical and magnetic "energy". What a sad industry.
Funny how the topic of the video is about defying the quantum theory and yet not a single line on HOW exactly it does that or which Quantum theory (Quantum mechanics? Quantum field? Quantum chemistry?) it defies. For those interested - the electrons in Berkelium are so heavy (due to their speed) that they "blur" the line between Quantum mechanics (which deals with low mass and massless particles) and Relativity (that deals with atoms and beyond). Being as heavy as they are - electrons (that are usually in line with quantum mechanics) in Berkelium behave like macro elements (i.e. atoms and above) thus are here governed not by QM but the relativity. It is important because we don't know where's is the line between QM and Relativity, and this discovery might provide a clue. BUT in no way does it "defy" quantum mechanics as it actually proves it's basic principle (never to apply to macro world).
They don't blur anything. The thing is that this is just a clickbait title. What is really going on here is that you cannot apply non-relativistic quantum mechanics but you need to use quantum field theory (aka relativistic quantum mechanics aka the dirac equation). Lead does that too
Actually, chemists ignore that part of the periodic table too :) it's a little hard to study the chemical properties of an element whose atoms exist for only a fraction of a second. Thats the physicists' part of the period table :)
Thats how you know its all junk science. I mean it can be useful for stuff, but so what. More and more professors are coming out with the truth, and even Einstein admitting that his GTR is false. The co-founder of Relativity wrote a book about how it is false, the co-founder! But its not anything schools will teach about. They have the "Peer Review Brothers". LOL So sad where science has come today. Who would have thought it would turn into the biggest religion of belief!

Scientist, "Electrons resonate in harmonic shells around atoms: they are NOT orbiting the nucleus". Confused layman, "But you also claim that the electrons in Berkelium are whizzing around?"
"Beyond mass, elements are grouped by kind and similar properties." Do everyone a favor and replace "kind and similar properties" with electron configuration.
It doesn't, it's a stupid clickbait title. What it does do is something which requires relativity to explain instead of QM which is a bit noteworthy for an atom.
wingracer 16 Not quite right. What fails here is non-relativistic quantum mechanics, so you need the relativistic version of QM aka quantum field theory (the dirac equation)
I did. I had no idea electrons could affect the atom's mass like that. What I still don't know is how they even measured that. I guess I'll wikipedia it. And PS I really want that shirt!
Thanks! It is worth stating the obvious here: nature *_never_* "disobeys" its own laws!!! Humans merely have a limited understanding - or view - of what's really going on. Our theories are just models. We attempt to make those theories reflect - & even predict - what nature is actually doing. But it will *_always_* be an imperfect reflection! Our understanding is an often uncomfortable mixture of mathematics & mental constructs. That may be all we can hope for. There will always be questions we cannot answer, & there will always be things nature does that we cannot understand or even describe. Science is a nothing more - & nothing less - than a method for attempting to find mathematical & conceptual models of nature's behavior. But these will always be imperfect analogs of the real thing! Thanks again for the video! 𝓡𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲 𝓣𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲.
Hey Seeker, could you possibly make a video explaining how the laws of thermodynamics (specifically the third one) has evidence for the future of the universe etc??
BertyFromDK This has nothing to do with quantum gravity. It's just a clickbait title. What berkelium defies is the non-relativistic version of quantum mechanics and lead does that too. Here we are talking about special relativity not general relativity.

Perhaps explains why things act quantum-ly or classically.
Just to point it out NO physicist says mass is a function of velocity! The origins of this comes from trying to relate the equations for momentum in relativity to newtonian momentum.

Einstein also said that the more we learn, the amount we don't know goes up exponentially.
I believe this element was used in the first “compression” tests with gravity.
When scientists dress up as engineers who dress up as tradesmen, you end up with safety glasses that look like that
The one that I remember from the bottom row of the periodic table used to be called Uuu or Unununium
I want to see how they act under pressure, particularly how radioactive they are under pressure.
You humans should try to stabilize(make a non radioactive isotope via proton neutron shell manipulation) the lightest radioactive element first then it will be easier for you to understand these heavier unstable elements
I'm pretty sure this guy is not in any way scientifically trained since he can't decide on the names of the f-orbital elements nor the obvious reason they are not included in the bulk of the periodic table
Kay, I've read like 10 of your "jokes" in this comment section and they all pretty much sucked. I may have been less rude, except you ended every single one with SICK BURN!
PS: SICK BURN!
Lanthanides
Actinides
Berk-el-ium
And that was a picture of tweezers with the safety clip around the tip - not a 1g sample
Yes, as a British speaker of English (and PhD chemist) I too thought Berkelium was pronounced differently - as in, for want of a better notation, "Burk-eelium". It seems I now stand corrected!
Unopentium, (Up 115), has the strong nuclear force that extends outside the nucleus. Apparently it is so far, the only element where this occurs. Not sure how it done or how this was detected.
Early bird should get a heart!
Smooth element transition you did there
nicely done Trace et al. Martyn would like this video .
just imagine other planets and what elements they could have that we dont have and what kinda unique properties they could have
116
Wouldn't you know it? The element that defies the main model is named after Berkeley!
Sometimes they are also called Lanthanides and Actinides.
Anyone else reminded of the cartoon series "li'l Elvis Jones and the truckstoppers" A mysterious rare element mined called Berkonium which defines the laws of physics.
Yes, for the actinides and lantanides you have to take into account relativistic effects. If anyone is interested, look up lantanide contraction.
We already screwed over science with Lorentz Law, you want to stir that pot? More and more professors are coming out with the truth, and even Einstein admitting that his GTR is false. The co-founder of Relativity wrote a book about how it is false, the co-founder! But its not anything schools will teach about. They have the "Peer Review Brothers". LOL So sad where science has come today. Who would have thought it would turn into the biggest religion of belief! And sadly, the more studied one is, the more they are stuck in this framework on how to look at properties. What a messed up system. No wonder we are still figuring things out , like electrostatics and dielectrical and magnetic "energy". What a sad industry.
I expected the odd one out to be Technetium.
Have we understood why there is a radioactive spot surrounded by elements with non-radioactive isotopes?
You know it's gonna be a geeky video when Chase has his glasses on 😆
"I ain't no physicist but I knows what matters" Popeye.
I'd like your shirt to wear to my exams, thank you.
Funny how the topic of the video is about defying the quantum theory and yet not a single line on HOW exactly it does that or which Quantum theory (Quantum mechanics? Quantum field? Quantum chemistry?) it defies.
For those interested - the electrons in Berkelium are so heavy (due to their speed) that they "blur" the line between Quantum mechanics (which deals with low mass and massless particles) and Relativity (that deals with atoms and beyond). Being as heavy as they are - electrons (that are usually in line with quantum mechanics) in Berkelium behave like macro elements (i.e. atoms and above) thus are here governed not by QM but the relativity. It is important because we don't know where's is the line between QM and Relativity, and this discovery might provide a clue. BUT in no way does it "defy" quantum mechanics as it actually proves it's basic principle (never to apply to macro world).
They don't blur anything. The thing is that this is just a clickbait title. What is really going on here is that you cannot apply non-relativistic quantum mechanics but you need to use quantum field theory (aka relativistic quantum mechanics aka the dirac equation). Lead does that too
I want a shirt like this for exams
This element will be the crux of many Star Trek and Stargate episodes in the future.
Actually, chemists ignore that part of the periodic table too :) it's a little hard to study the chemical properties of an element whose atoms exist for only a fraction of a second. Thats the physicists' part of the period table :)
Thats how you know its all junk science. I mean it can be useful for stuff, but so what. More and more professors are coming out with the truth, and even Einstein admitting that his GTR is false. The co-founder of Relativity wrote a book about how it is false, the co-founder! But its not anything schools will teach about. They have the "Peer Review Brothers". LOL So sad where science has come today. Who would have thought it would turn into the biggest religion of belief! And sadly, the more studied one is, the more they are stuck in this framework on how to look at properties. What a messed up system. No wonder we are still figuring things out , like electrostatics and dielectrical and magnetic "energy". What a sad industry.
I avoid actinoids because sometimes...they can act up.
Scientist, "Electrons resonate in harmonic shells around atoms: they are NOT orbiting the nucleus".
Confused layman, "But you also claim that the electrons in Berkelium are whizzing around?"
My schools science books are so old they still havent got the new names for the newest elements
"Beyond mass, elements are grouped by kind and similar properties." Do everyone a favor and replace "kind and similar properties" with electron configuration.
so how exactly does it contradict what quantum physics would predict?
That, exactly, was the question I had when watching the video.
It doesn't, it's a stupid clickbait title. What it does do is something which requires relativity to explain instead of QM which is a bit noteworthy for an atom.
wingracer 16 Not quite right. What fails here is non-relativistic quantum mechanics, so you need the relativistic version of QM aka quantum field theory (the dirac equation)
wingracer 16 But you are right, just a clickbait title
FINALLY! A video from this page that doesn't encourage genocide!
Berkelium is taking heavy metal to the next level... Yeaaah!
Are actinoids like flavonoids? Thanks for the video on the "actinides".
It's Lanthanides not lactinoids, in the beginning...😅 Anyway, keep up the good work dear👍👍
Watched the whole video, got no new information.
oh my aren't we smart
I did. I had no idea electrons could affect the atom's mass like that. What I still don't know is how they even measured that. I guess I'll wikipedia it.
And PS I really want that shirt!
Thanks! It is worth stating the obvious here: nature *_never_* "disobeys" its own laws!!! Humans merely have a limited understanding - or view - of what's really going on. Our theories are just models. We attempt to make those theories reflect - & even predict - what nature is actually doing. But it will *_always_* be an imperfect reflection! Our understanding is an often uncomfortable mixture of mathematics & mental constructs. That may be all we can hope for. There will always be questions we cannot answer, & there will always be things nature does that we cannot understand or even describe. Science is a nothing more - & nothing less - than a method for attempting to find mathematical & conceptual models of nature's behavior. But these will always be imperfect analogs of the real thing! Thanks again for the video! 𝓡𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲 𝓣𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲.
Hey Seeker, could you possibly make a video explaining how the laws of thermodynamics (specifically the third one) has evidence for the future of the universe etc??
i was hoping you guys.. knew a little biti more about the element :c
Can you guys do a video on the multiverse theory?
Come on, Scientists! We really need that Unified Quantum Gravity Theory STAT!
BertyFromDK This has nothing to do with quantum gravity. It's just a clickbait title. What berkelium defies is the non-relativistic version of quantum mechanics and lead does that too. Here we are talking about special relativity not general relativity.
Perhaps explains why things act quantum-ly or classically.
Very fun facts that any one would agree on and should know. People would be smart. Good to know.
Just to point it out NO physicist says mass is a function of velocity! The origins of this comes from trying to relate the equations for momentum in relativity to newtonian momentum.
Thorium
Is that what Thor’s hammer is made of
I watched the whole video yet I didn't receive any good information about this topic.
You didn't tell us ANYTHING about how it defies quantum theory
Lanktinoid? Are you sure? Why does everyone elsr call it lanthinide?
If it has to be made in a lab it’s going to be too expensive for most people to study
Hmm. I didn't think that electrons MOVE around atoms, they just have uncertain position.
