What's the difference between atoms and molecules?
What’s the difference between atoms and molecules? In this video I explain the difference, explain why you might want to know, and One Man gives essential tips for buying death rays.
I would like to thank the staff of the Ultramicroscopy Research Center at Kyushu University, especially Drs Maeno and Seo. I would also like to thank David Borgeson for the music.
If you have a topic on chemistry, science and life that you would like me to cover, leave it in the comments. If you would like to get involved with Three Twentysix, visit us on Facebook or Twitter:

I would like to see your video where you take on the international union of pure and applied chemistry!
Only a true student of science knows how much worthy your videos are! I wish I could do something great for you but I am just an ordinary student whose brain never stops thinking about the topics you discuss in your videos. Thanks for decreasing the entropy of my brain 🙏

Thanks! And a sub and a share are always appreciated.
It's not just the topic you covered but the effort & creativity required to make this video is outstanding and the story was really osm . Solute to uh sir ❤️
I have been wondering what One Man is up to... This is getting out of hand!!

this definitely deserves more views
Your channel is so great!
woa there buddy some of us care a lot about what colour a lego piece is!
Hi Andy, i recently found your channel, love the videos. I also teach chemistry but i’m Just a med student. It’s ok if i use the lego example?
Hahaha I like how you outsmart that guy using his own reasoning

@@ThreeTwentysix gold and cesium together form the non alloy, Cesium Auride. I thought that was interesting. I'd be interested to know why that's not metallic

@@SodiumInteresting Ooh, that is interesting, I didn't know about CsAu. Well, for starters, you've got one of the most metallic metals, ready to give an electron away (caesium) and one of the least metallic metals, that's just about capable of receiving an electron (gold). On top of that, they're kind of freaks anyway, being so large that we have to include relativity to properly understand their chemistry. I should think a few theoretical chemists have had fun with this.

@@ThreeTwentysix yes that's similar to what I was guessing, due to their respective high an low reactivity Au somehow becomes an anion and Cs a cation 🤷♂️ but your explanation is better I'd like to try making some one day if I'm successful at reducing CsCl with lithium. I need to work on my glass flameworking skills and maybe stainless steel vacuum grade tig welding if I'm to build something to double distil Cs onto some gold powder under low pressure argon. I'm getting the inspiration to do this from watching Advanced Tinkering channel, I recently ordered 100g CsCl If I do make some CsAu it will be interesting dropping it in water to see if you can recover the gold that way, I wonder how that would look. Would you get solvated electrons by adding CsAu to liquid ammonia or would the local charges somehow prevent that or just the fact it's a Cs salt, made of 2 metal atoms but is not a metal
how are inter-atomic sizes measured technically, with which equipment setup?

There are a range of different measures, that give different answers, depending on what questions you're asking. But typically X-ray diffraction is used to reveal the average centre of the atoms involved.
