Plastics made consumer grade electronics affordable vs your incorrect implied assertion of "possible". There is nothing revolutionary about the element.

Very nice video. What a great selection of elements! Carbon at first place took me as surprise, but it looked much clearer when you explained why you chose it over some obscure elements from lanthanides or some other heavy metal.

I got a 144g tube of beryllium that is coated with a resistant varnish leftover from the Cold War. It literally feels like lifting a PVC pipe based on just how light it is.

I simply love this channel, please never stop making videos, learning about chemistry with your videos makes me happy.

My top 10 list is: 1. Helium -- the only noble gas that has only two electrons in its outermost layer, it is suprafluid at low temperatures, it dissipates through any container wall, it never becomes solid, and you sound like a smurf when breathing it, 2. Hydrogen -- the only alkali non-metal, 3. Boron -- it is the only 5-coovalent element, extremely hard to purify, 4. Carbon -- very easily forms polymer chains, also has a form diamond that is one of the hardest materials known, but that burns at low temperatures, 5. Platinum -- one of the few metals partaking as a negative ion in a salt (Cs₂Pt), also a very catalytic metal, 6. Xenon -- a noble gas with a vast chemistry, 7. Mercury -- the metal with relativistic speeds on the innermost electrons, making it fluid at low temperatures, disolves lots of other metals, 8. Fluorine -- the most electronegative element, puts almost everything on fire except steel, 9. Caesium -- the most electropositive element, even forces Gold and Platinum to get extra electrons, 10. Gold -- one of the few metals partaking as a negative ion in a salt (CsAu),

so you have changed your mind? "thorium, the metal that no one needs", i believe was in the thumbnail.

I would like to add one more quite important property of Beryllium. It is resistant to making sparks, this makes it a very important metal for tool coating used in industries that work with highly explosive and flammable materials.

So who pommeled that hill with the Windturbine with heavy Artillerie?

Looks like France, so pick a side.

Beryllium was machined to make gyroscopes for ICBMs as it does not expand or shrink in heat or cold. I saw other parts made of it where hardness, weight and shrinkage were important. An alloy of beryllium copper makes powerful springs and even firing pins in some expensive firearms.

im gonna be honest here i think you should get someone to put subtitles on these or something sometimes its pretty hard to understand everything else is actually really good though

Osmium would be such a great heat transfer for CPU's since it transfers heat so fast.

Very underrated #1 choice. Carbon's chemistry is so incredibly unique and diverse, that a whole body of knowledge (known as organic chemistry) has been created around it, with a complexity comparable to the chemical knowledge of just about everything else. Also, it's the main building block for all life as we know it, which is pretty hard to top, on its own.

I wish I could give you more thumbs uo
