​@@Phantom-309-e9p When Cesium-133 is irradiated with radiation having an energy level corresponding to the difference between its hyperfine ground states, it will reemit that radiation at exactly the duration after it's absorbed every single time. As a result, it can create an exceedingly accurate clock. Rubidium atomic clocks are more common, but less accurate.

[@nick1f]

@@Phantom-309-e9p Sure, you can do a google search for "NIST’s Cesium Fountain Atomic Clocks". Cesium and rubidium are metals who can be used to create very stable reference standards. Also, check the Wikipedia page for "Caesium standard". These reference standards are so accurate, if you have a watch with a cesium timebase, it would drift one second in 31 million years! Believe it or not, scientists are still not happy with this precision and they are working to create even more precise time reference standards.

[@annonone93]

And months and years later too I believe roughly 1,100 people ended up being contaminated, a few hundred needed hospitalization, and a whole city block was demolished. The family and junkyard workers and owners who lived were ostracized from the town.

For everyone saying “Francium is more reactive” Yes, Francium is the most reactive metal on the periodic table, so it is slightly wrong. But in terms of reactivity, Francium is a laboratory-procured element and only minute quantities have ever been made because of how unstable and radioactive Francium can be (~22 minute half-life). So for practical use cases, Cesium which is above Francium on the periodic table is the most reactive element that is accessible and ethical for use.

[@AdvancedTinkering]

The idea that francium is more reactive than cesium is actually a common misconception. Although francium is located below cesium in the periodic table, its ionization energy is slightly higher, making it less reactive. This is due to relativistic effects caused by the size of the francium atom.

[@kennyvo6695]

@AdvancedTinkering no offense but wouldn’t the slight difference in ionization energy get canceled out by the electron shielding which is higher since Francium is located the furthest down on Group 1

Just to tell you, it's been more then 25 years I have seen anyone capable to do anything with glass, and now I see you are excellent with it, such a surprise.

I can't believe you "built" the distillation thing lol.

Came across this and love it. Thanks keep them coming

I'd really apreciate your help here: If a hobby chemist wanted to build a small laboratory for home usage for - more or less - easy to intermediate experiments and synthesis of (not too difficult to synthesize) substances, how much would be the budget for the equipment? Obviously, I don't expect an exact number, just an estimation - from a person with more knowledge than me (for example magnetic stirrer, heating plate, scale, some Erlenmeyer's, seperatory funnel and so on)...and what would be *must have* equipment?

What’s really cool is this is what we use to define time. The frequency and atomic breakdown of cesium allows us to use it in atomic clocks around the world with out degradation for like 50k years!

[@JustinMiales]

How do you get it? Do they mine it ?

[@iceberg789]

introducing to high voltage, then heating it, to find out the colour of glow to name it. sounds like a neat nomenclature process.

[@raphaelczampiel5156]

It is also used to define the time unit ‚second‘

Argon is the innert gas used to purge the vial.

Making your own custom flask is just in another level dude

“Just gunna whip together a small distillation apparatus…” 😂

[@monin1983]

It was used on an old aircraft countermeasure system called the ALQ147 and defended against IR threats by creating a large IR target next to the aircraft. I always they wanrned us about the dangers òf the cesium inside.

Assalam o aleikum The information given in the last slide is wrong .the signs in the first and the last point have been interchanged. Explanation: 1) If Solubility productis larger than the ionic product then no precipitate will form on adding more solute because unsaturated solution is formed. 2) If Solubility product is smaller than the ionic product then excess solute will precipitate out because of the formation of super saturated solution.

Materials like this make me wonder how people manage to gather it in the first place without it just disintigrating, unless it can only be manufactured and can't be found naturally

[@charlesstevenson5141]

Cool, where can I buy some?

[@johnmorgan-gc8ly]

YOU MY FRIEND, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY CHEMISTRY TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WOULD HAVE LEARNED SOOO MUCH MORE, HONESTLY!!!😮😮😮

[@Кивис-ч3й]

The name is just as terrifying in Classical Latin pronunciation.

[@infinitegamersinitiative6427]

When did klaus from American Dad start doing science videos.

[@paulcooper8818]

Nice work!

Man I love these shorts
