Chemistry textbooks need to be updated periodically.
-
someone gonna need to update the song
-
Curious if North Korea "discovered" their own elements. Kimjonunium!
-
"Meet the 4 new elements!" 3 years ago I guess they aren't new anymore
-
There is still one missing...the element of surprise ahhhhhhh you totally did see that coming didn't you...thats why we still need to find it
-
Maybe instead of a new $700 chemistry text book, pay $2.00 for a laminated periodic table and slip it in the old book.
-
ok number 119, NEEDS to be called unobtainium
-
Moscovium was made with americium. That's some interesting symbolism right there
-
I love seeing the periodic table grow. when I was in the 7th grade I did a project on element 116. Back then it was still called by its placeholder Ununhexium. It was interesting to glance at a periodic table a couple of years later to see it renamed to "Livermorium"!
-
I did my chemistry exam on Wednesday without knowing that I had an outdated periodic table. I think by default all students should get an A* for this outrage, ha :P
-
lol, periodic table getting an update feels like pokemon franchise coming up with new pokemons
-
You didn't mention that 115 is in the middle of the island of stability! We still haven't been able to make the desired isotope but it is theorized that 115 could be a relatively long-lived element once we can produce 291 Mc.
-
Who dislikes a video like this. Its literally just reporting facts, nothing to even disagree with.
-
Lmao Flat earthers dislike this video. They don't understand the gravity of these discoveries.
-
We need a name to call element 113 Japan - " ♫ how about sunrise land ♫ ?"
-
Soo does the element 115 turn people into zombies? Because if not, they found the wrong 115.
-
So does 115 resurrect the dead?
-
But we STILL don't get the letter J anywhere on the table. Great.
-
I actually paused the video to dig out my Chemistry textbook, did anybody else do that? Also, I don't need to buy another textbook when I have a perfectly functioning pencil!
-
Would be interesting to see a video on why they choose to specific combinations of atoms to collide. Why do they use Americium and Calcium to create Nihonium (93 + 20 = 113), as opposed to, say, Europium and Tin (63 + 50 = 113) or some other combination that has the right number of protons? What are the factors that come into that decision?
