Brilliantly explained. However, this only partially answers the question. The "why" goes much deeper for me, where lies the code that dictates the behavior of the element when changing its configuration? Why is it what it is? I guess we have to accept the old saying: because it is what it is. At least for now. Let's suppose there is an island of stability for superheavy elements. Could we predict their behavior, or would we need to wait for nature to show us how they behave? We don't even know if this island exists, let alone make such predictions. To me, this just demonstrates how precarious our illusory knowledge of everything is. Don't get me wrong, we have come a long way and made sensational discoveries, but our progress is small compared to the grand scheme of the universe. At least, that's how it seems to me, or maybe my "whys" aren't good questions. I hope I have been clear. Excellent content, as always.

Exactly and well noticed. Science has not an answer (yet) for the question why an element changes its behavior, else one could predict the behavior of ANY chemical reaction without having to resort to experiments. With such a knowledge one could predict and explain i.e. why mercury is fluid at room temperature even if this element would be still unknown.

@@0OmerErgun0actually it does have their answer for their behavior such why it hard, why its colour like this and why wheen it react with this this happen and this. I will give you answer hope you understand. About their hard level, it determined by their structure. The better the structure, the stronger that element gets. And to be forgotten, each element have their own proton which mean they have they own attraction force. This also concclude how hard the bond really is. Next about their colour. I bet you know about the colour have their relation with ground state and exited state stuff. So here each transfer of electron such from 3s to 3p orbitals means to from ground state to exited state. But how can it determine the colour? Actually in light they have their own wave and most common we know and we can see is visible light. When light where consists many type of wave hits V materials, in the atom of V, some wave kinda being absorbed but some being emitted back where our eyes capture the light in the form Visible Light. About their reaction behavior it lead us back to how many proton&elctrron they are firstly. The amount of proton determines the amount of electron for an elemant to become neutral. At the same time, each electron determines theirs behavior of reaction. Why? Here actually we supposed to know that a reaction such in neutralization is determined by electron a proton. Proton = attraction force with electron Electron= bring the change in energy cause the change in temp where we know heat is one form of energy. So if and substance A was acid and B was base. Then A + B -> C + H20. So A who have oxygen atom being take away by H2 from B. But it cant just take. It away like that. Remember each element have their proton who determine their attraction force? This make Oxygen desperate for energy so that it can overcome A attraction force. So Oxygen absobed surounding heat so that it can changed it to kinetic where overcome A attraction. So here we got an endothermic results. But this is jot over all result, because H2 also break their bond with B and for C to form also requires one pf them to release or acceppt energy.

When I was a young chemistry student there was a simple rule to predict the tendency of an atom to acquire or give electrons : the rule of the "8 electrons outer shell ". Every element tends to complete this shell of 8 electrons: a) acquiring the missing electrons . b) giving the exceeding electrons. c) sharing electons with other atoms. Later I understood that at the basis for this there were reasons concerning energy and stabiity. However this rule works pretty well and I always wandered why it was sufficient considering just 8 electons instead of the entire electronic configuration.

There are a LOT of concepts of music, frequencies, balance and resonance that can be applied to the atoms properties. If you change a note by 1%.. it does not sound like the original song.. it sounds horrible. But if you change it by 0.5x or 2x it sounds perfect. The notes of music are like the energy levels of electrons where you cannot just go anywhere.. they must have harmony and resonance. If I am not mistaken... This same concept is where color comes from. Because the electrons wave must resonate(in a matter of speaking) with the rest of the electrons.. there are discrete energy levels or the atom will fly apart. When a photon hits an atom..the electron changes energy levelz and when the electron falls back down to the lower energy level, because the electrons levels are discrete... The wavelengths of photos emitted are consistent. This reminds me of pinch harmonics on a guitar. No matter where you create the harmonic it will always be in tune.. it will just have a different frequency still create a stable and harmonized tone that matches the music. It is because the atom or song requires balance of the frequencies that dictate that very minor changes can result in a massively different effect. you can easily change the frequency(number of electrons) greatly but retain a similar effect. This is why atoms with very different amounts of electrons(protons) can have similar properties(same columns of periodic table) while atoms with slightly different number of electrons(protons) have vastly different properties. Music and physics are my favorite.

why is everything so limited in this universe and why does this universe exist in the first place. energy, matter, it all shouldn't exist. it would make more sense if nothing ever existed in the first place. did something else exist before this universe? are we in an endless loop of new universes coming to existence a very long time after the old one died? did we ask these questions already an infinite amount of times before? it all makes no sense to me. the energy, the limits, the fact that energy can create consciousness to be aware of itself. its just weird

Agreed. Like of course it comes down to Valence Electrons, we all knew that already, and for that, the elements with similar amounts only behave "drastically different" from eachother, because you're comparing their reactions with different elements. Compare elements with just one proton difference to the same position on the table, the reaction isn't that special. The "complexity" is fully emergent

The thing that links this to chemistry is that if your molecule needs more elections in it's exchanging atoms then it's often on the acidic side, while the molecule that is needing to lend them instead tends to be more basic. Either of them tend to be more polarized than the molecules that have no ions.

This explains inter-reactivity from a chemical perspective, but does not explain how the proton/neutron counts determine other element molecular characteristics translating to how we see them (typically at room temp for example), ie, water is a clear liquid, iron is a shiny metal (vs it’s oxidized red form)

I have to to partially disagree. Chemistry, Biology etc aren't just very complex physics. Theres also emergence, weak, strong and even radical. That doesn't mean of course that the smaller scale is completely irrelevant, but without any form of irreducable emergence (strong and beyond) nothing could exist. Since even the quantum decoherence process involves entirely new princimples and transition to a fundumentally differnt domain just with an interaction. If we take reductionalism way too seriously we only get "the thing", meaning space, time, gravity, every quantum field theory, are all the thing. And without new rules, the thing is not nearly enough to get an existence. The schrodinger equation only predicts the stability and validity of which atoms are going to be atoms and not isotopes, hence electron composition , atomic not molecular properties. And not to mention we already had macro knowledge so even if strong emergence is present somewhere it can be dismissed. For example, supercunductivity and bose einstein's condensate and more are irreducable and not understandable from bottom - up. So even with infinite computational capacity, No true turbulanse, tension etc would spontaneously born inside a deterministic computer simulation without additional parameters. Even gravity can be said to be reducable, to the emergence and interaction of the quark field (matter) with the higgs field. Alone they don't create space curviture, but we don't say gravity/mass are illusions and just the sum of the "deeper thing".

Ok. I understand all that. What still twists my brain around is how these changes manifest in such drastically different physical properties. At the beginning of each new energy shell is a reactive dense metal and at the end when that energy level is natively full, it’s a gas. In between, sometimes it’s a solid and sometimes a gas, sometimes incredibly hard or incredibly soft. Sometimes it’s a liquid. I know that changing the energy state by adding or removing thermal energy or mechanical energy in the form of pressure to the elements causes drastic changes to the physical properties as well. A lot of that has to do with the bonds settling into the lowest energy state possible for the conditions and I feel like I’m so close to understanding how, but I can’t find any resources that can answer the big why. The answer of “it just does” seems to be the prevailing one on this question and that has never been a satisfactory answer to me.
