***** It's waterium to you folk, but to us intelligent trolls, it's dihidrogenmonoxidium or H2Onium for short!!!! unsubbing from the whole of youtube!!!!
Most metals are pronounced and spelled so that they end with "ium" for example: Sodium, lithium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, francium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium.. I'm just listing elements but it would make more sense if it were aluminium instead of aluminum
+Wolfenberg Exactly, Nirvana didn't sing "Lithum" and no one calls it Titanum, or Helum, so there is no sense in Aluminum either, except as a self-fulfilling example of the arrogance of the USA.
Aluminium is a chemical element with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic and ductile metal in the boron group. By mass, aluminium makes up about 8% of the Earth's crust; it is the third most abundant element after oxygen and silicon and the most abundant metal in the crust, though it is less common in the mantle below. Alternative name: aluminum (US) Have a dislike.
I was also hoping this comment would be here. I pronounce it aluminum and have my whole life but I still think it ins't technically incorrect...I just live in the US.
***** Um, technically it actually would, since what is 'correct' and what is 'wrong' on a moral/social level is determined by society (the reason why some cultures do things others find repulsive or horrifying or 'wrong'). If the entire world did something then it would be 'correct' until someone went "heyy, wait a minute..." Ethical is the word you were thinking of :P
Sir Humphry made a bit of a mess of naming this new element, at first spelling it alumium (this was in 1807) then changing it to aluminum, and finally settling on aluminium in 1812. His classically educated scientific colleagues preferred aluminium right from the start, because it had more of a classical ring, and chimed harmoniously with many other elements whose names ended in -ium, like potassium, sodium, and magnesium, all of which had been named by Davy.
+matthew davies British English and American English are adaptations of English. Just because you say that American English is adapted from English doesn't mean that the original word couldn't have been retained with American english and modified later in the british English system. In this case specifically, The man who discovered the metal, H. Davy, named it aluminum in 1812, it was changed to aluminium to fit the British English rules, so in this case the Americans have the initial spelling of the word and the brits have the modified spelling. On a further note, the U.S.A is one of the only countries that does not have a language committee that actively updates and corrects its language so the language has been unchanged in 200 years since its intentional shift from british English; whereas British English has made several revisions, so it is impossible to use the chicken or the egg logic for the differences between American English or british English. You instead have to look at the history of the word itself.

Metric is the system of smart people and countries. Imperial makes little sense and I don't see how you guys like using it. Also, I find it interesting you call Australia and England communist.
Leighton Gore Funny trivia. Imperial system has no set standards, and nothing that shows what a pound weighs like, because they use the metric system as base! Pounds, Miles and others use as reference the metric system values. So change the kilo, change the pound.
Ok, I'll make you a deal. If your country pays for all the signs and cartons and everything else that has a measurement on it to be changed, we'lol change it. Sound good?
+Durr Plant You don't need to change it instantly. Do it slowly, and eventually a new generation of Americans will be born, one that uses the Metric system. Now, about Myanmar and Liberia...
+Spockwagen You see them as communist because you can't comprehend the superior metric system and the logic behing Celcius. Have fun thinking brine is more useful than water.
This kind of brings back memory when I use to work in a steel factory. I get to use the blow torch for training. Every time I get off from working there I would have to clean out my nose because it would trap rust, and steel dust up in there. It was really gross. By the way I was an assistant fabricator. What I mainly do there is punch, and drill holes into steel plates in an assembly line. It was an okay 9 to 5 back when I was younger.
Just FYI, as they did in firefighting school USNavy, if you would have dropped that container of thermite as it just started burning, into your water tank, it would have exploded!

I enjoyed this. I was especially fascinated at how the magnesium kept burning even in the water. Just one point of contention, though: "aluminum" being absolute right and "aluminium" being absolute wrong. About five percent of the US population is born of excessive inbreeding and about 20% of the British population is. There's nothing evil about having been born of inbreeding, but it does create some inclinations in the ways people think, and it can be overcome if one decides to overcome it. Those born of excessive inbreeding tend to claim their ways as absolute right and any countries that have different ways as absolute wrong, while those born of more varied hybrid vigor tend to be more willing to accept differences and live with them. I always teach my students that when there's a difference between American and British spelling, usage and pronunciation, it's not that one is right and the other is wrong, it's just two different countries' different standardizations of the spelling, usage and pronunciation. I always take issue with the inbred 20% of the UK's population when they do say, "The British spelling is RIGHT! The American spelling is WRONG!" Let's not be inbred American incest babies now. "Aluminum" is the American form; "aluminium" is the British form. They're both right. Just two different countries' different standardizations of the word.

Hello, Once again thanks to your videos I learn a lot of things. As I see that you’re a young man with a very great knowledge in chemistry, maybe will you be able to give me an answer that I’m trying to find out without success amongst a lot of scientist. My question is this: when you pour the thermite in the water, it can be seen that first some little big bubbles appear around the melted product laying on the sand which is then followed during the cooling down by a series of very small bubbles that looks a little like the one produced to make hydrogen by electrolysis. As I ‘ve read that it is also possible to create H² by cracking the water molecule with heat once it reach a temperature above 2200° C, I wonder if these small bubbles are not hydrogen. What do you think? If I’m interested by this phenomenon, is because I’m a retired commercial diver and commercial divers are doing a lot of underwater thermal cutting (gas torch or with electricity then called thermic or oxy-arc cutting) and unfortunately these process create a certain quantity of h² which as you know is very explosive when mixed to O². This has for consequence, a lot of more or less severe or lethal accidents.That’s why I try to find out so much I can about hydrogen production and in what quantity it is produced and therefore would be glad to have your opinion.Thanks for you future reply.
After reading the description (and a few comments) , the actual correct way of spelling aluminum is just that. The guy who named it never even called it aluminium, it was some other guy who wanted a fancy naming theme in line with other elements that had the "inium" part in the name of them. I'm not going to post any links or anything like that since I'm not familiar with how UA-cam handles that (and to be completely honest, I'm simply too lazy to look any of it up as well), but please feel free to do a tiny bit of research to figure it out, the real name is out there for you to discover. ;)
Metal in water is fine , just when you get water below the surface of molten metal or you put a piece of metal that is wet into molten metal then you get a steam explosion throwing more metal everywhere.
the aluminum and aluminium thing is because on spanish its called aluminio but its because the man who discovered it thoug it was a good idea to teach a different name on every languaje he teached about the metal xd
so thermite is how spongebob has campfires

My question is this: when you pour the thermite in the water, it can be seen that first some little big bubbles appear around the melted product laying on the sand which is then followed during the cooling down by a series of very small bubbles that looks a little like the one produced to make hydrogen by electrolysis. As I ‘ve read that it is also possible to create H² by cracking the water molecule with heat once it reach a temperature above 2200° C, I wonder if these small bubbles are not hydrogen.
What do you think?
If I’m interested by this phenomenon, is because I’m a retired commercial diver and commercial divers are doing a lot of underwater thermal cutting (gas torch or with electricity then called thermic or oxy-arc cutting) and unfortunately these process create a certain quantity of h² which as you know is very explosive when mixed to O². This has for consequence, a lot of more or less severe or lethal accidents.That’s why I try to find out so much I can about hydrogen production and in what quantity it is produced and therefore would be glad to have your opinion.Thanks for you future reply.

After reading the description (and a few comments) , the actual correct way of spelling aluminum is just that.
The guy who named it never even called it aluminium, it was some other guy who wanted a fancy naming theme in line with other elements that had the "inium" part in the name of them. I'm not going to post any links or anything like that since I'm not familiar with how UA-cam handles that (and to be completely honest, I'm simply too lazy to look any of it up as well), but please feel free to do a tiny bit of research to figure it out, the real name is out there for you to discover. ;)
For the record, it IS possible to put out a thermite fire. You just need liquid helium to do it.
you need to consider the specific heat of the material, not just the temperature. different materials require/return more energy to change temperature
I love the gaslighting with the aluminum pronunciation.
Metal in water is fine , just when you get water below the surface of molten metal or you put a piece of metal that is wet into molten metal then you get a steam explosion throwing more metal everywhere.
i like how you use Celsius as well it is really awesome, thaks
MERICA!!!!!!! love this channel even more!
The composition of pennies changed in late 1982 when zinc became the primary metal instead of copper
the aluminum and aluminium thing is because on spanish its called aluminio but its because the man who discovered it thoug it was a good idea to teach a different name on every languaje he teached about the metal xd
