Once in chemistry lesson at school we had to go to the teacher's desk to watch some chemical experiment. There was a box with chemical compounds on the desk, also a brown bottle which seemed to be empty. It seemed like a good idea back then to open and smell it. It felt like even the farthest corners of my nasal cavity and my sinuses were filled with horrible stench that i can't describe.I felt sick and the smell in my nose stayed for several days. There was a tiny amount of Bromine in the flask

[@hyosube3]

As a homeschooling mom I can't tell you how much of a help your videos have been. :) My kids are really young and most of the stuff you guys say goes over their heads, but they still LOVE to watch because of the booms, bangs, fires, etc. It most definitely is sparking and interest in them even at their young age. Thanks for the videos!

[@Mojosbigstick]

I once splashed liquid bromine on my thumb, and quickly developed a greater understanding of oxidation. The wound it left was unsightly, but beautifully cauterised.

[@tijuanamarisol666]

@zmod101 However, most oxidation occurs with oxygen. You're right, the term "oxidation" doesn't 'require' oxygen, because when oxidation occurs, it simply means you've removed electrons from an atom, ie., Chlorine oxidizes Sodium when salt is made, but in most oxidation, oxygen is present and required...

[@johnclavis]

@ScienceyCubes contrary to popular belief oxidation does not require oxygen. Oxidation is simply a term which refers to the exchange of electrons specifically a loss of electrons during oxidation. All you need is an oxidizing agent. While oxygen is an oxidizing agent there are many others.

[@thebel89]

Ah, Bromine, along with Mercury, they are the only elements that are liquid in room temperature. Also, both are very toxic. Halogen group is interesting because it has elements in all three forms, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is liquid and iodine is solid in room temperature. This is because iodine has most electrons from these, so the attraction force between molecules is greater, requiring more energy to break these bonds.

[@mrthunt5770]

Excellent video my man

[@mrthunt5770]

I agree

[@endimion17]

@Kargoneth It's not that kind of glow. The temperature is actually not that high at all. The glow is because of the flame. You're must've been thinking of molten iron, that's way hotter, and the light given off is given off by a different mechanism.

[@Shmilli]

It has something to do with how strong the element is at at oxidatiing other compounds. For instance, aluminium has enough charge to bond with three iodine atoms, while potassium can only bond with one, if I'm not wrong

[@y0ung1s]

wow look att the two monitors 1:22 and i would have never noticed if it wernt for that good splff session:)

[@IsboPirate]

Hi :D I've been suscribed quite a time to your videos. I have recently heard and read about Green chemistry. What about making a video about that? I think it's really important to start using this new techniques for reactions. They do not require dangerous/non-biodegradable solvents/reactives. Less amount of heat, less pollution. A better way to improve our environment and try to save it :D. Thanks for this channel. =D

[@GaseousNobility]

I loved the bromine and aluminum reaction, but I wanted to see what aluminum tribromide looked like :(

[@endimion17]

@kurtu5 The fume hood works by kicking the vapors and gasses out of the building and into the atmosphere. It's not like they own a factory and pump tons of nasty stuff out each month that they would have to filter it. You can rest assure that nobody is harmed with such small ammounts of chemicals.

[@TomMarAlem1987]

One of the wastes in doing these experiments is that you don't have much left afterwards. the Resultants vaporize and become incorporated into the air. I would like to see a reaction that leaves a large quantity of precipitate in the bottom of the pan. What about a reversible reaction where you can get recollect the individual elements. Insha'Allah you will have a few of those.

[@GodlikeIridium]

The 50/50 content of the two bromine isotopes is so useful in mass Spectrometry.

I remember a Bromine spill we had on campus a few years back. Most of the campus was evacuated to be safe.

[@mbrsart]

[@OOZ662]

@salsa02 "You can make bromine just by bubbling chlorine into a solution of bromide, like Dead Sea water, and the chlorine displaces the bromine and forms chloride. And the bromine just comes out as red fumes which you can catch."

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

4:32 Also the higher-numbered halogens are less reactive than the ones near the beginning of the periodic table.

[@justcallmedean2699]

the bromine and aluminium reaction is like looking into a nebula.

[@dedasdude]

this is one of the most beautiful reactions ever!

[@ElveeKaye]

I like how the screensaver goes from one computer screen to the other in the background. :)

[@ChRIs23696]

@Digeridude it varies with the make but generally it is quite pure (to the best of my knowledge). the only thing that not many people know is that aluminium is actually a very reactive metal, it is only unreactive as foil because it is oxidised.

[@Roddyoneeye]

Do you ever worry about a chemical reaction between your lens and the fumes ? What was the cause of the fire between the evaporator cup and the table ?

[@hyperdot102]

Where do the fumes go after being drawn in by the fume hood? Just dumped out the building’s exhaust?

[@Ackerklinge]

2:43 The experimentator mixes up bromine and aluminium as oxidizing. First he says it right: "The bromine is a strong oxidizer", then he mixes it up as he says "as I said the aluminium is strongly oxidizing". In fact aluminium is the reducing agent being oxidized by bromine (Al -> Al+ + 1e- and Br2 + 2e- -> 2 Br-). Oxidation here is meant as giving electrons, Reduction is receiving electrons. Since Al gives electrons it is itself oxidized and reduces the bromine, thus being the reducing agent (to bromine) not the oxidizer. Bromine is reduced and is itself oxidizing the aluminium. It is complicated, so don't get desperate.

[@GravelLeft]

I think what he meant to say is that aluminium has an oxide layer and that is why it takes some time for the reaction to start. I'm pretty shure that's what he meant because he said: "... it generally takes a few moments for this reaction to start, because as I said, the aluminium is strongly oxidising..", and that sentence doesn't really make much sence, does it? It makes more sence if what he meant to say was "it takes some time for this reaction to start because aluminium has an oxide layer".

[@wedmunds]

TheySmashedAnHourglass Yeah, I think he meant "the aluminium is strongly oxidized"

[@SuperibyP]

2:42 "Aluminium is strongly oxidising..." Is it?

[@DavidGormley]

@CertifiedBad4ss I just like how his comment uses the term in it's own definition! Oxidation does not refer to a loss of electrons during oxidation or else we still wouldn't have defined oxidation

[@Smokemalboro]

Was that neil saying it reacts with water quite well at the end bit?

[@samglynn6886]

Thanks Neil 👍🏻

[@WeaselWJ]

If it is called Aluminium Tribromide, the naming convention suggests it is a covalent compound rather than an ionic one.

[@Erikur17]

It would be really nice to have a series of heated aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaBr, and NaI and introduce F gas into the first solution evolving Cl gas which is passed into the second to evolve Br gas which passes into the third to produce I (which if it is warm enough you wll see violet vapor) or just black residue if it is cold.

[@Biochemguy]

@zmod101 yeah but it's called oxidation in part because oxygen is the second most powerful oxidizing agent on earth (second only to fluorine) and is one of the most common oxidizing agents out there.

[@hudsonshi154]

Why do the halogen videos always start out with the same dude dropping aluminum into whatever element and forming aluminum tri-halogen

[@mychaelpierce8049]

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing!

[@MathMeansMore]

The video description has a typo, "is" should follow Bromine, not "if".

[@Woad25]

How come it takes a bit of time for the reaction to start and then gets going really fast? Is there some sort of coating on the foil that has to be eaten away or something?

[@Sturrmm]

I may just be noticing a pattern in your videos but do most or all oxidation reactions form molecules with three of one element?

[@mortenharrysson8136]

Is there any way for long term storage of bromine? I have read that it will eat true just about anything given enough time, included sealed glass.

[@iwan0t0smith]

I'm guessing you studied at Bangor then? that's a nice surprise seeing as i come from there

[@nickpounder1757]

Um.. small question that worries me when watching these videos... just where do the fumes go when they are extracted by the fume hood? Bubbled through something that absorbs them before being taken away for disposal? Or just vented out the top of the university building?!

[@rjhrjh3]

It looks like they have linked the screens. I can do that between my monitor and my TV. The effect is that I can have logically one monitor that is twice as long as a normal one. I can also have them as clones so they both have the same on the screen. This is good for watching something I have recorded on my computer eg KZbin. It is good because my TV is so much better and bigger than my monitor.

[@MoltenMetal613]

Wouldn't it be aluminum bromide instead of aluminum tribromide? Prefixes are only used when there is a nonmetal reacting with a nonmetal. Also, because aluminum only has one oxidation state, there is no need to put any Roman numerals. Was Pete simply saying "tribromide" for the people who don't know the standard chemical nomenclature and/or the ionized states of aluminum and bromine?

[@povnw8985]

I'm trying to understand more about the chemistry involved in sensory deprivation tanks, I have a very high gravity solution of water and magnesium sulfate. I treat the solution with hydrogen peroxide and have uv light sanitation system. My uv tubes get a brown film on them, what could the film be?

[@PikachuTatoo]

what do you mean 'high gravity'/ an addition reaction could be taking place between the plastic and the magnesium regardless of the type of plastic because of the uv. so i think the plastic could be reacting to form a new compound. also whats a sensory deprivation tank/

[@stevebrown2562]

PikachuTatoo "High gravity" (of a material) usually means a variant of some material that has a higher density than the usual version. In this case John Doe was talking about water, so the high gravity version means denser than pure water.

[@master9995]

Magnesium oxidizes quite easily with oxygen, making MgO, magnesium oxide. It is known as brownish in colour, so you may have your culprit there.

I suggest "electron transfer" or "electron loss".

[@bf9562m]

Wouldn't francium be liquid too, if we could actually get it?

[@jamesr.2017]

Theoretically, yes.

[@alexpotts6520]

Actually, I'm not sure. There are weird things going on with these heavy elements due to the effects of special relativity. In somewhat oversimplified terms, the outer electrons of heavy elements are moving so fast that they actually become heavier, and therefore they sink towards the nucleus somewhat. The reactivity of alkali metals depends on having a very loosely bound outer electron, so this relativistic effect means francium is actually less reactive than caesium - at least according to scientific calculations, though this would be difficult to ever test experimentally. If the trend of increasing reactivity for alkali metals reverses when you get to francium, perhaps the same is true for the trend of decreasing melting points. Those calculations are harder to do, since for melting/boiling you have to look simulate lots of atoms, whereas for reactivity you only need to simulate one. I don't know whether anyone has done the maths. What is true, though, is that you ever managed to get a bulk sample of francium together it wouldn't stay solid for long - not because of its melting/boiling point so much as the enormous amount of heat produced by its own radioactivity would cause it to vaporise.

[@swabianscience]

Actually, the math has been done and according to the English Wikipedia, it's solid with a melting point at about 30°C. But it seems those calculations aren't very accurate, I noticed the German Wikipedia sees Copernicium as a liquid element at standard temperature, while the English Wikipedia predicts it to be gaseous... Probably nobody can say it for sure, and, to be honest, I don't think it will ever matter

Nexfero Besides, it usually manifests itself as Al2Br6, AlBr3 is just the empirical formula

[@DANGJOS]

+Ryan Smith Aren't compounds called by their empirical formula many times? Besides, there's nothing wrong with saying 'tri'. It lets whoever is listening know immediately the formula or at least its form

Gallium and Caesium are not actually liquids, they simply have melting points slightly higher than room temperature.

[@beeble2003]

Actually, the better question would be, why do American's call it "aluminum"? Most of the rest of the world spells it "-ium" like most other metallic elements and pronounces it accordingly. "-ium" is the spelling adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It was originally called "alumium", then "aluminum" but "aluminium" rapidly became most common. Americans probably use "aluminum" because, for a long time, the major US manufacturer preferred that spelling.
