Graphite+tape=Nobel Prize for Physics.
+almostfm give me another molecule like graphite and I'll share the Nobel Prize money with you.
almostfm chemistry
Samovar maker you dont get money for winning a nobel prize
yes you do
Unfair.
Carbon: "And this isn't even my final form...!"

Lol
"whole suitcase full of models"
cool!
*pulls out actual suitcase*
I just realised that his tie is the periodic table, I adore this man so much! This whole series is so informative and wholesome I want to cry with joy!
Mady; Take a look at the clock on the wall just to the right of Martyn's heat at 4:51 of this video. The time is almost Nitrogen past Lithium!
This video has blown my mind! I had no idea carbon could form so many different structures.
Thanks for having captions for the Deaf.
If ur deaf how r u writing this comment
Paperclippy deaf means someone who can’t hear
Hear means someone who cant deaf

Tyler Manning means can't someone who deaf hear
absolutely LOVE these videos.. they always help me before my science exams. these concepts get clear because you can visualize it with the help of these videos
Carbon is probably my favourite simply due to the sheer variety of compounds you can make with it. Also, drawing organic compound is fun.
I want to take a suitcase full of carbon models to the airport to observe the reaction of the baggage people.
"We uh... seem to be detecting a large amount of diamonds in there..."
Their ‘reaction’ XD lol
@@MrSonny6155 haha
I'll bring a bag full of meth (C10H15N
) that will act as a catalyst for my chances of getting arrested.
When you have hair like that, everyone just assumes you're a scientist. They'd probably get suspicious if his bag DIDN'T contain any weird-looking gadgets.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. You are the first of about five videos that I've watched that explained carbon in a manner that was attainable thorough simplistic and helpful.
From what I remember from a brief attempt at chemistry, one of the funny things of buckyballs/fullerenes was that adding a group to one point of the ball, changed the energy (and usually making it easier) to add the group to the next position. Basically you got only a few products, all 60 positions reacted, or none at all. (or slightly less when there was steric hindrance)
Oh Carbon, we love you
Carbon says: THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!
Lol
Thank you for these discussions. It's a real opportunity to get some chemistry lessons and experiments when taking courses isn't an option.
I wanna go to that school!
University not a school.
@@patrickmoloney672 lol a university is a school smarty pants :)
I feel you

G for graphite, A for awesome!
My pills are that big lol
Wait his tie has the periodic table on it?
Lord Pain yeah isnt that cool?
That has always been there. It is like one of his body parts. yet he gives his away occasionally if someone admires it during any lectures of his
First time watching one of these videos? He has an extensive collection of "elemental" ties. They're actually kind of amazing.
he has alot of ties with all sorts of designs and periodic tables on them
If they made videos one hour for each element, I would also watch all of them. Since I was a child I always wanted to know everything about elements and their chemistry. Totally fascinating
My favourite part of chemistry is naming organic compounds. I find that very fun!
He didn't mention the use of Carbon to make steel. If you add 0.4% carbon to pure iron, you get a much harder, stronger metal which we call steel. Actually, there are hundreds of different alloys of steel that have other elements added. Maybe he mentions this in his video about Iron.
Wei Zhao steel isnt a metal? Uhh yea dude steel is metallic i think you mean its not an element
These videos are so concise and explain everything so well that it blows my mind every time i watch one.
1:20 carboner
These videos are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to make a video for each element and not just one for the whole PT. It's super interesting and I'm really inspired by your dedication!
Science is the only place where saying "he gave me a whole suitcase of models!" means something else entirely
I learn so much from your videos. Love them!
I love the new electron miscroskope images your showing usw... amazing how the molecules actually look exactly like the models you see at school when you take a close look at them in the scope... sounds stupid, but that kind of amazes me...
"It's been discovered in the last ten years that using a piece of sellotape..."
I love that!
This is one of the most interesting videos i've seen in months!
Only amazing Carbon can do the million views without even trying
Really like the videos! I'm an undergraduate Computer Science student, but still love these videos! They spark my imagination and make me want to take a few Chemistry classes! I often think of Chemistry as the study of programming nature, and got to thinking about it, and was wondering how a Chemist thinks of Computer Science?
@Noovil25 you see the color that it didn't absorb. The color it reflects. The best example ist if you look at dichromatic mirrors (or short "dichro") widely used in laser applications. They only reflect one certain color, so they look like the color they reflect. The light they let through, is "the rest" which was not reflected.
Interesting video on Carbon.. What a coincidence I happened to see this today! Only yesterday I was teaching a local school children on Carbon different forms as per their curriculum. Nothing will make the topic clearer than seeing this video!1 Today ia hope to show this to them. Great work by Martyn to young generations , possible future Noble Laureattes.
The train-truck analogy made things really clear, thanks for that!
Oh my god I need that element clock in the background :D
I just love the Professors box of tricks, its amazing!!
6:25 Does that imply that no material that's clear (due to the electrons being tightly bound) can ever be a decent conductor of electricity?
basically yes, considering electricity is the transfer of electrons, if something has strong bonds it is less likely if if not unwilling to give up electrons ..
Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a clear conductor.
The electrons may deal with non-visible light. That would cause a clear conductor.
@@abhayshankar8762 Thats kinda what I was thinking, actually. Thanks
No. It is just a rough explanation of why diamonds are transparent (because there are no electrons that can be excited by visible radiation). However there are plenty of clear/ colourless/ transparent substances with electrons in double bonds and other structures that might absorb light but they absorb in the UV eg perspex.
Thank you Professor, really helped me.
Carbon has a huge amount of information and uses. He hasn't talked about its hybridized sp orbitals, 2s2 2p2 electrons have 4 electrons in hybridized sp orbitals. Are these talks about inorganic and not about organic chemistry? But buckyballs were covered in organic chemistry textbooks, too.

Boyle is one of my favorites. You can change what temp things freeze at or turn into gas or even plasma just by changing the pressure of the air. I think one of the gases close to neon does something cool if you give it less then normal air pressure, it turns into plasma if you electrify it. Sure water crystalizes at 32F so you think of coldness when you think of freezing but other things can freeze and crystalize at room temperature or even higher
oh my god, i love these videos way too much
Outstanding Professor, great contribution to young Chemistry students understanding of elements. Dr Gopalan FRSC
Wow... thank you for this video! You've answered many of my questions with it :)
Holly molly love the videos, beautifully explained.... that dude explaining now has a fan... Thanks.
Love the dedication in revisiting all the elements. Plus, given the acclaim you've recieved for the series, sure you can get access to more resources.
I can't wait for the time where carbonnanotubes, graphene and C60 can be made on a large (industrial) scale. This will be a revolution in electronics.
Thanks for all the Videos!
This video is a masterpiece! Really thanks for sharing the precious knowledge!
Love the clock!
Great video. I was as much intrigued by the water bottle collection(?) as the carbon content.
these are the best videos ever!!! thank you :) you are helping me like science!
Excellent educational video. Well done.
I call it purple, other people call it Magenta :D :'D

I would love tk see a video on Teflon. The only molecule thst can contain Fluroantimetic acid.
Brilliant piece !
The relative conductivity of various forms of carbon was quite interesting.
Amazing guys. :D!
Could you make a video about some alkaloids in the molecular videos section?
Who remembers the Star Trek movie, where the ...villain robot (V'ger) refers to the humans as "Carbon Units" ? Hahahahaha ! Dear Professor, and the rest of the Team, thank you so much for this excellent video. One of your best.
When he said he had an suitcase of models I did not expect a literal suitcase. I love these early videos
Love the periodic clock in the background.
Do you get it? The elements atomic number represent the time. lol So H is 1, He is 2 etc.
Rob Porritt lol they have one in the chemistry lab at my school
Pure graphene has much better conductivity than metal though.
Graphene is awesome!!!!!
A fair comparison would be with a monocrystalline metal sheet, since graphene is a single molecule sheet. Really curious about this comparison.
omg i love the models that he has!
I've never thought before why diamond is transparent. Now I understand it clearly. Once we are able to manufacture sheets of it, how effective would a window made from diamond be?
4:35 You've cheered up my mourning !
Look at his clock! 5:58 He sure loves the elements 😉
Yeah
Thanks for this video :D in chemistry class where learning about allotrope's of carbon and covalent networks, this helped me understand it a lot :D
That conductivity demonstration was mind-blowing O:
Interesting stuff. Easily understood too. I wonder when we will see graphine in a common application.
Loved ur periodic table tie
I´m exited because I recently started my first course of chemistry it´s awesome.
Oraganic chemistry was my favourite subject in high school. Carbon is a fascinating element.
Nice clock i am going to use the same in my room too. Really you are a genius. We have learnt a lot from you.
@pawningcity
C60/70 are discrete molecules. The solvent can move around between the individual molecules and interact with them, which allows them to dissolve.
In something like graphite/diamond you have big huge sheets/structures of carbon, these wont dissolve simply because the structures are so large the solvent cant get in between to break anything up.
I hate how these videos just end! Each one should be an hour minimum ;)
amazing video. i learnt a lot from this video alone...
"you're carbon, I'm carbon"
I can just imagine going to an AA meeting where everybody has a nametag "Hi, my name is Carbon"
Thanks for posting!
I just love that the Professor has a suitcase full of carbon models. I want one.
Carbon is such an exciting element!
haha, im such a nerd.. when he said "a WHOLE suitcase of models!" i was like YES!
I got enthusiastic knowing the electrical conductivity, carbon nanotubes, it seems that there is a bright future for this :D
Wow, such a simple explanation of why things are conductive and not, at the end.
Could have mentioned that C60 and C70 are named "fullerenes" after Buckminster Fuller, because the molecules resemble his geodesic domes. C60 is called Buckminsterullerene ore "Bucky balls."
guy is awesome. Wish i had someone as smart as him teaching me when i grew up
@defect530 You can also generate x rays with sticky tape. The stuff is amazing.
2:05 I thought he was about to take a scoop to his mouth because he said “even food”
Nice, love it!
@giltine002 You have a point there... i hadn't even thought about that.
About the mesomeric structures you are partly right,but you should look at it more like delocalized bonds. They can be delocalized in a way that forms a C=C bond for a short amount of time, but that is rather improbable. They way our teacher wanted us to look at it was like 1 1/2 bond between carbon atoms. But since you made your point, i'm unsure if my theory is right because the rings are not really defined.
@TheErraticTheory They are called molymods. I suppose you could google it to find out where to buy it
Great videos thankyou
loved this video :)
Amazing element
in a hexagonal carbon ring, can each carbon atom form a molecular bond with another element, and if so, than how many electrons does each atom need to fill outer electron shell?
1:45 Maitotoxin, good choice. Guess I'll never forget about that one.
Also, about the purple bonds in the graphite model...what's the difference between them and the bonds inside each sheet? (well, except for the fact that they are less strong)
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
That slime of carbon is so satisfying to watch
"And he gave me a whole suitcase of models "

is it a reference to a minecraft mod?
Capacity might not be the right word, but the unprecedented capability of any organism to produce fine chemicals is indeed amazing. Even more so given that organisms have only a limited supply of catalysts and reagents, and yet they can always make them. Of course when one considers the 4.3 or so thousand million years of evolution that have lead to this, it becomes a little less impressive, but nevertheless still immensely amazing.
Amazing video sir
