Oganesson - Periodic Table of Videos

Element 118 has emerged from controversy in the late 1990s to be named after super heavy element pioneer Yuri Oganessian - a living person.

I must be older than you. Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 76th edition, is the latest I used at college. It goes to 110, with nothing higher than 103 being named.

[@fartwrangler]

@@jwenting LOL, youngsters. My chemistry text went to 103, and there was a dispute on over whether 104 would be called Kurchatovium or Rutherfordium. :)

[@daddymuggle]

When I took my one year of undergraduate chemistry (in 1986), we were told that the committee in charge of these things had given up on names because of all the fighting over naming rights. (There were elements with different names in the Western bloc and the Eastern bloc). So henceforth there would be only the systematic names for new heavy elements. I'm glad to see that we've got past that.

Hi Professor. I'm looking forward to hearing about element 121 because it will be the first element that will have a ground state electron in the g orbital. Am I correct about that and is it likely we'll ever be able to tell for sure? Or could there be an element already discovered that has a g orbital electron in it's ground state with an incomplete f shell?

[@johnries5593]

One question that could make an educated guess at would be whether oganesson would be a gas at room temperature (like the elements above it), a liquid, or a solid. Since melting and boiling points go up among nonmetals as molecular weights go up and all noble gasses are monoatomic, the calculation would likely be straightforward.

I read somewhere that under relativistic effects it would be an amorphous solid. If it is a gas it would be an extremely dense gas.

[@Outshinedsg]

It's my understanding that the Noble gas elements typically have a more stable atomic configuration. With this in mind, is there a possibility that element Oganesson could exist for longer periods, unlike other artificially created heavy elements that decay more-or-less instantly?

[@adreq3.05]

This element exists in empty coldest intergalactical expances of the space. It can to have many of interesting propertys. Under the influence of low temperature it can remain liquid. Due to the fact that it must to be heavier than radonium it easliy goes into liquid.

First of all, I love your videos! I really like what you say about data integrity and I could not agree more than that data manipulation is against everything science is about. Unfortunately, science has some major flaws contributing to data integrity issues. There is a toxic culture of “publish or perish” and a persistent disapproval of negative results, which in turn hardly ever get published nor are valued (enough) by the scientific community. No publishable data means no further funding means end of career, no matter how brilliant of a scientist you are and how carefully thought out your experiments. In my opinion it leads to an inflation of scientific quality, I see a lot of papers coming out with questionable experimental set-ups, poor controls and VERY poor statistics. I can’t comment on the field of chemistry, but this is for sure a major problem in biomedical research.

Professor, What is your opinion of Jacque Fresco's "The Venus Project"? Sociology is equally trying to understand nature but from an entirely different philosophy. "Very few people can communicate with one another. The only language that's not subject to interpretation is mathematics, chemistry, basic science, engineering principles, and applied agriculture. But other than that, many systems today are subject to interpretation." I quote!
