Hats off for ur hardwork man!!!
I love this! What If will never cease to amaze me and the world =D
Please do a longer version detailing how you got each element
having all of the elements in the periodic table is nearly impossible, unless you have a superpowerful nuclear fusion machine that can create the heaviest elements. The heaviest elements in the periodic table is only be created in lab or in the high energy cosmic events like supernovae, hypernovae, kilonovae and gamma ray burst
Hi, I have a suggestion, you can recreate the solar system planets in smell (make baloons filled with gases smells like the planets and make them revolves around a fire ball)

So for Uranus he would have to get rotten egg gas? And plus, he would have to gather the smells of 8 billion+ people (of course, in extremely small amounts) to make the planet earth. Sounds harder than getting uranium or something in a box. But I still like the idea. Creative!

only issue is that the sun isn't exactly a fireball, it's more like a nuclear reactor, there are planets that have no atmosphere, there are planets like Venus that immediately after breathing the air you would die painfully, there are planets that are made of gas, and only a small solid nucleus, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, not to mention that they would be out of proportion, they are not at the same distance as in the drawings. also you couldn't smell the gases inside the balloons. nice idea, but I don't know how one could do that. you may get mars and earth, the rest is nearly impossible
I like this idea for a change! What If vids are now just getting better
12:35 Tasted like sponge
Great episode. Love the change
This is an amazing content! Kudos whatif team!
I have to say i loved this style video. Most interesting vid on the channel in quite some time
I love the Periodic table 😂❤
Thorium can be found in lantern mantels, Americium and be found in smoke detectors, Plutonium can be found in old Soviet smoke detectors, uranium ore can be bought for cheap online. These are some of the elements that you couldn’t find.
"I'd be dead." Sure came close from that sandwich. ☠️
there's more nitrogen in the air than oxygen. well there are videos where people who had the budget actually got the pure elements. also, you could've use graphite for carbon which is quite literally just carbon. anyways, nice video. also there is a commercial version of this, that has those elements and more in their pure form

Tip: Americium can be found in smoke detectors, and thorium in some lamp mantles
6:40 Bones!
Americium is one of the few radioactive elements many people have in their homes. You can find it in some smoke detectors. Im not sure if theyre legal in Canada since they’ve been proven to be not super effective (theyre the kind of smoke alarm that goes off when you burn toast), especially given in the last 5 or so years we’ve tried phasing them out here in the US.
Seeing you for the first time is awesome
Every time I see your notifications without what if in the front I read it as what if I built my own periodic table
Love your videos Man
9:06 I believe it’s 90
You’ve missed some elements: Antimony in ball bearrings Palladium in ceramic capacitors(inside of computers) Lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium in the flint of lighters Neodymium in neodymium magnets Molybdenum in saw blades Lead in some soldering wires you don’t need to use bolts as representations btw Uranium and thorium can be found in tiny trace amounts in granite and cement Europium, gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium can be found in phone screens, you missed 2 of them Americium can be found in most smoke detectors Ytterbium is sometimes mixed in stainless steel to make stainless steel pipes and other high quality product that use stainless steel You could’ve got 81😑
Peter is so adorable!!❤
Haven't watched the video yet but I'm guessing he got most of the elements, excluding the radioactive ones
"It's like chewing a rubber band" 😂😂😂 You ok?
What if peter did the Michelson-Morley experiment? LOVE YOU
What if Peter and all what if crew went to wilderness for a week with just knife and flint? :D
Gotta catch em' all!
You should be able to find americium in some smoke detectors, uranium in vintage yellow or green glassware or in small traces in granite, and thorium in vacuum tubes.
YoungMendeleev: One day, I will put all the elements together! Chemistry Teacher: You can't put all the elements together. Younh Mendeleev: Challange accepted!
That was a good video!
What if the geographic layout of earth was flipped? Here me out; what if the oceans on earth were gigantic landmasses and the current land continents were all oceans- everything still having the same shape outline as the maps we know today? would life have developed differently and would it have affected the course of human history if the same timeline of emergence was still the same?

Bro forgot about Americium which is usually *FOUND* in older smoke alarms
Nice try , 68 out of 118 elements. Man i m imagining the effort you made is 🔥🔥🔥
This was. Really good lol
Americium is easy to obtain, its used in standard home smoke detectors.
its nice seeing a irl vid
YOOO IS THAT URANIU- *dies*
Some more research might have disclosed the presence of various elements on hand or obtainable at reasonable cost. Somw time on Wikipedia produced 16 potential sourcces: Catalytic converters usually contain palladium, rhodium, platinum, or cerium, so a reference to a car would probably acquire one of those. Americium is used in smoke detectors. Tungsten can be found in permanent magnets, incandescent bulbs, cathode ray tube filaments, and integrated circuits (computer chips). Hafnium can also be found in Intel and IBM chips. Vacuum tubes, if you can find one, will usually have a barium residue on the interior resulting from the manufacturing process. It is used to chemically remove the last reactive gases within the tube. Spark plugs also often contain a barium-nickel alloy. The most likely sources of cesium would be a two-electrode vacuum tube, an OCR reader, or a video camera tube. Toyota used lanthanum batteries in the Prius, so if if you had access to one of those, you could refer to the battery. electronic Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth. Europium is used in fluorescent bulbs. Terbium can be found cathode ray tubes. Erbium is used in camera filters.
5:38 I am probably way more happy to see this than most people are.
7:03 purple area
I already bought one, it has elements in their box things.
What if there was a working portal between Earth and a rogue planet (you can always switch side)?
"What if R136A1 was our sun" "What if you travelled to the boomerang nebula"
you could possibly buy an iodizing smoke alarm (which has americium in it) or just get one from your home if you have one
Uranium Glass and Ceramics also smoke detectors have americium and thorium in old lantern mantles and welding rods
Please make a video showing what would happen if dragon from How to Train Your Dragon were real❤🎉😊
For rare earth metals, your Iphone or a CD/DVD would cover a lot of them. I actually had a piece of lead at hand. If you have a car whose catalytic converter contains platinum, you're OK with that, too. For polonium, you may go either to the National Library of France or to any uranium ore mine. The same applies for any element of the uranium-radium decay chain, Np and even Pu. For Am, Cm and even Cf you may visit the NASA. Above 100, if you work in the GSI Helmholtz Centre (in Darmstadt, Germany), that would make things somewhat easier. If you go to Chernobyl you may get some radioactive stuff, too. It has become considerably harder though, with the outbreak of the war.
Mendeleev's periodic table was based on the fact that The properties are a periodic function of their atomic mass while the periodic table we study is based upon the MORDEN PERIODIC LAW, which is the chemical and physical properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers (And was given by Moseley in 1913 from his x rays studies).
Just started cant wait to see francium
The banana would do for most of them. Most living things contain traces of the majority of elements.
0:15 "Something you can touch and feel" Touching uranium...
you could have got 15 more elements with neodimium magnets, because they contain all the lantanides.
6:31 You are in Canada? I didn’t know this was a Canadian channel.
so this is you attempting that old video about what would happen
Americium (Am) is easy to get, used in smoke detectors. Uranium-containing rocks are also in gem stores and emit mostly alpha radiation which is easily shielded. Bismuth is found in Pepto Bismol, which may help after that egg sandwich..... ;-)
11:37 bro really said deez nuts💀
The Bingo of the periodic table elements.
Cover whole table with dirt and cover it witha glass wall.All elements are covered in earth and air..

I love this but I wish they said which foods and other things they found had which elements, even if it was just really quick .... It would have been great to show my kids as they're studying the table right now, but I felt they barely showed anything.
5:49 symbol for arsenic 33 is As
You do know Americium is found in some smoke detectors, however if you don’t have a smoke detector, I feel bad because you could’ve gotten Americium. Like you could’ve just gotten the smoke detector down and BOOM, ya got Americium-241. Idk if I have a smoke detector either, but hey.
