This man didn't choose science, science chose him.
I think he was in Soviet Russia back then.
Mohmads Obeidat he was the man behind the tsar bomba
HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE!!
Zlatan vs this Master
The hair chosed him
Are you a scientist because you have that hair, or do you have that hair because you're a scientist?
Stolen from the other videos
I think it's the former. I have very similar hair and I know the periodic table song from memory. Now does that make me a scientist?
Yes it does...
Ah, the Euthy-Fro Dilemma.
neither at the s a m e t i m e
Yes
I watch your videos periodically
Cliff Reeser
Boo.
i don't react
Cliff Reeser Heheh :) :)
That was so cheesy
+waffielz yolo Careful this place is volatile
This man looks like science
he looks like science itself
I literally looked up "science" on RUclips and this was the result.
Why does this seem so true?
Because he looks like Einstein
Devil worshiper
Glass is pretty amazing when you think about it. Can withstand all these toxic acids and mixtures, and we can see through it all to inspect the insides. Genius.
Pyrex
I’m amazed that we can even see through any solid material. Kind of remarkable if you pause and think about it.
@@alphabeets of course I paused. That's how i got down here into the comments.
@Izzy Kidding are you forgetting water? (and other things oviously) lol
Pervert
He gave chemistry the finger
he gave two fingers to chemistry
Chemistry took his fingers.
sacrificed
@@vfnikster lol you didn't understand the joke😂😂
r/woooosh
1 in the pink 1 in the stink
I've had a number of injuries from dangerous reactions, thankfully i still have all my fingers.
For now.
For now, bud! For now.
*FINGER CHECK*
Yay! I've found a new channel to watch.
What about now?
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie
"Quite a dangerous compound", as it spills onto the counter.
the isolated one, not disolve in the alcool. I guess some kind of powder
"One must be very careful not to isolate this material" [camera nervously pans down to spill drying on the benchtop]
Its been 6 years. But i wanted to say i read your comment the exact moment he said it outloud. It was incredibly perfect timing.
@@giraffe_113 same
I have not.
i want this guy as a chem professor, he's great.
He's brilliant isn't he! Wish all science teachers were like this.
I've seen him at a lecture a few years ago (in real life). Took a while for me to realise it was him
This is the kind of thing chemistry graduate students leave outside the front door of their hated neighbor instead of over-pressurized plastic bottles of Diet Coke and Mentos candies.
😂😂😂
@@funk1998 my reaction would be your name but with a "c" instead of that "n".
Dont forget paper bags!!!
Filled with💩🔥
I feel like I need to drink the Chemicals.
I know it's a bad idea, but they're so colourful...
***** We don't need more proof, but it's great there are so many eager providers.
Xelipho Ummm orange juice!
BUY DRINK COLORANTS!!!!! :DDD
BUY!BUY!BUY!!!!
YOU GONNA BE SATISFIED!!!!
+Xelipho one guy told about the experience how he SMELLED pretty colored compounds. Woke up in hospital several hours later. No recollection on the event on smelling the chemicals. People told him after what he did. Doctors said he was lucky to be alive, probably took one small sniff, does not remember what the compound was, probably a bit nasty. Scared of chemistry 20 years later :)
+Xelipho You do drink chemicals. Water, for example. :)
Filmer: "It's kind of like the reaction is a wave coming....
Scientist: "Yes"
Filmer: Slowly rambles into silence
My thoughts exactly. This comment deserves more likes.
For real the cameraman was like realizing how beta his comment was. Bruh you had one job?.
I read this the moment he said it and died 🤣🤣
Has a pun ever been this morbid?
+Apollo Diomedes (Captain) They'll be dying of laughter
+Zyvux I dont mean to Point fingers, but that was pretty rude.
Austin _game Just give me some mortem and in this time I'll come up with a better pun.
Zyvux Sorry, you will have to point it out to me, as i am a bad pun maker
+Austin _game Don't be quick to point to conclusions...
Attended one of his lectures when I was a chemical engineering student. Absolutely focused and brilliant man! I was a bit of an undercover nerd in college though ;P A little advice for the up an coming, if you like chemistry, just go with chem E you will not find a decent paying or maybe even a job at all with just a plain chemistry degree unless you want a Phd or teach. Anyway why not get the best of both worlds, mechanics and chemistry! Good luck to all in their studies! One other thing you don't have to be a genius, just love what you do. I wouldn't have called myself a star pupil in highschool.
The thumbnail makes it look like the professor is just a fan of metal. He seems to be a fan of the metallic elements, so maybe the genre of music too?
His chemicals reactions are just as hard as matilicas songs
2:37 - Too metal.
Lol. Brings a whole new meaning to the term "heavy metal".
+o0julek0o xD Best pun I have ever seen
+Shannmeister noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
waffielz yolo Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
+o0julek0o Forever giving the horns...
I try to tell chemistry jokes but there is no reaction.
HAHA omg im laughing so hard
Use more hydrogen peroxide.
i see what you did there. nice one
Pfft, unorgional. I see these puns periodically
It's ok , maybe try telling other chemistry jokes
Waiting for someone to r/wooosh me
Despite never being interested in science subjects at school I really enjoy watching this series of films now. Unfortunately I suffer from sleep disturbance, really am able to sleep at night and, instead, sleep during the day. At this time of year it becomes rather difficult for me as my great love is gardening and, by the time I am awake, there is little or no light left in which to work in the garden and I would be deeply touched to anyone reading this who would include me in their thoughts and prayers to assist me overcome this horrendous malady of sleep disturbance.
+Michael Ball Just flip your sleeping schedule by staying awake 24+ hours until it is dark, so you get sleepy and fall asleep and wake up in the morning. You should be on a normal schedule at that point.
funnyjoshua Thank you for your advice but if only it were so easy Josh!
Thanks for the videos, I know it must make people more interested in science!
He's certainly educated me more about chemistry than anyone else in my life.
If I could relive my life again, I'd go to school for chemistry. I'm too old now, so I'll just watch your interesting videos. Thank you for posting them.
It's never too late to study, u got this!
i hope you are well
How are you these days?
This man tutored my secondary school chemistry teacher
Cool
I never knew Martyn Poliakoff was a metal head \m/
With that hair how could he not be
***** Oh yes of course, how could I be so rude.
Richard Rominger Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff CBE CChem FRS FRSC FIChemE
he's a heavier metal head than cesium
That reaction looks like art as a well as science. All those colours and changes going on at once.
All these chemicals, even on the table, you should make a video how to clean up and dispose chemicals ... do the leftovers have to be make flush away-able, do they have to be picked up by a special firm?
i know anything with silver in it has to be disposed with chemical waste.
Just buy a new table.
Chemistry PhD student here. Some stuff can go down the sink with plenty of water but generally you need to separate everything into hydrophilic and hydrophobic organic waste, toxic metals waste and halogenated waste. These then get picked up by a disposal firm.
Yes it is waste... there are chemical-safe waste containers with a spring loaded, gasketed lid for organic and for inorganic chemicals, they are picked up and disposed of properly. Chemicals NEVER get poured down a sink in any lab... The only thing you can let go down the sink is water, provided it has no chemicals in it.
I work in a Factory Lab and nearly everything goes down the sink. It is not really any worse that putting bleach down your toilet.
"bright blue" almost completely dark
cause its in a small area look when its on the table. its blue
It's more purple than blue but I think it's just the camera.
CLOTZ it was the camera angle + lighting.
CLOTZ It looks ink blue...
I think he was referring to the intensity of the blue, which was extremely strong.
I like how the cameraman said something and instantly got denied
Lego Pyrotechnik yea he did him so dirty
I mean it was a pretty obvious observation, but he did explain it's just for how the experiment was conducted in this test tube
That had me laughing
I bet this guy makes awesome Crystal
Chris Slade ha he did mention a few chemicals used in a birch reduction lol
Chris Slade lol bet he dose. Bet he doesn't have to burp 2 ltr soda bottles 🤣
Meth
You watched too much Breaking Bad
@@Engineer9736 not possible
This man turns boring into fun. We need more professors like you.
We had a lecturer who'd lost a few fingers to chemistry too. Great guy, loved his job.
This has got to be one of the coolest reactions I've ever seen!
u wrote this comment 7 years ago hows life now?
@@Hippu420 u wrote this comment 2 years ago how is life now
Hydrogen walked into a bar. The bartender said “it seems like we have a noble gas here”. Hydrogen didn’t react
Because it is not a noble gas
@@victorlimpearce1887 soooo is that an acknowledgement of the joke he made?
Helium is a noble gas, hydrogen isnt.
I guess you could say the hydrogen was so pissed off it turned into helium due to the heat it has, hence why it didn't react
@@PsiensGate it didn't react with noble gas
That Potassium Dichromate has to be the scariest liquid I've ever seen.
at least you can recognise thís. I'm móre nervous about strong acids or bases that look just like water.
this gentleman deserves an assistant, and a clean bench!
I feel bad about that professor who lost two of his fingers
chemistry rocks! \m/
A word of correction at 1:49
The professor said the chromium was in CrO4²- (chromate ion) state, when actually it was _actually_ in the Cr2O7²- (dichromate ion state), since we started with potassium dichromate.
+Rishav Koirala it doesn't matter what he started with as there is a dichromate-chromate equilibrium based on the acidity of the solution (here it is acidic -> orange colour, mainly dichromate)
klugeskind90 I think it s a redox reaction too cause o- from peroxide is oxidized to o2 so either the chromate or dichromate should reduce. So it s not an acid base equilibrium as you suggest.
Nerd
So do you just dump that down the drain when you are done?
blargish27 AND the cells. Two for the price of one!
The only way to safely dispose of these chemicals is to drink them.
Sure
Seb Bielicki your mom is classy and creative
Schiwi M ...thanks
I just woke up to use the bathroom... why am I watching this instead of going back to sleep?.. you win again youtube
We need more scientists like this.
This man is what pure science compressed into a human looks like.
Truly amazing to listen to
1:43 The chromium is actually not oxidized in the reaction he mentions there. The oxidation state of chromium doesn't change in that reaction (stays at 6+), but rather the oxidation state of 3 of the 4 oxygen atoms in the chromate change from 2- to 1- (and an oxygen with oxidation state 1- is added from the hydrogen peroxide).
Once I went to a doctor and I said I was sick
The doctor recommended me watching your videos
He gave me a prescription for watching you videos
So that's why I'm here and I subscribed XD
ᴛHᴇ ᴀᴅMɪɴ 526235 are you serious?
See you guys again after 6 years when RUclips once again randomly recommended this video to me.
See you when you find something original to comment
The one chemist who's always rockin' out with his test tube out.
Its nice that we, scientists and scientists-in-the-works have channels for what we love
I absolutely love PERIODIC VIDEOS! Wish I could have had a professor as awesome as you:)
That's why I love chemistry and be a future chemists 😍😍😘😘😍I love this..... So amazing
Are u doing this so u can make meth?
Makes fast unconscious handgestures while saying:
"This liquid is dangerous if im not very careful."
Well, as I loved to put it: "Chemistry is math, but a tiny bit explosive."
Love watching you Sir Martyn Poliakoff
This video literally has made me want to take chemistry classes at my college...thanks I am goin to research more on chemistry now
2:37 This the moment when walter White became Heisenberg.
Could I borrow that diathal ether? I... Kind of need it
What
@@CB1_420 You can get high off ether. Would not recommend tho
@@CB1_420 I'm quite sure my chem prof told me it used to be an anesthetic causing vivid nightmares lol.
His voice shiver he is really do hardwork to reach at this place
0:13 Turn on captions, "I got potassium died from AIDS" LOL XD

UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, LETS GO BOIS! IM FROM NOTTINGHAM
I'm a chemistry dropout, this makes me feel ill. Baaaad memories
Because I had the opportunity to do economics instead, which I enjoy much more.
ur the perfect example of laziness which alot of people are.
+twisty
Just because he dropped out of chemistry doesn't make you any better. In fact, I don't think anything will.
Leave.
+twisty what? how is he lazy? he didn't like chemistry as much as economics,so he dropped chem and studied economics,that doesn't make him lazy but rather smart for not taking a subject he didn't fully enjoy.
marco e thank you
on brady's old videos, the quality is quite...humble, even at 720p
This man is made of pure science which is true for everyone but looks extra true for him.
Wow it's like war blue vs. orange side and the blue is winning
Απόστολος Τουλούπας should of rushed B
I asked a couple of years ago. so maybe things have changed since then. we'll see.
Wow I keep seeing popular youtubers comments on random videos with no comments
Sir Martyn is a legend... way cooler than that bill nye guy.
And he's an actual scientist - PhD and everything.
BILL NYE THE NAZI SPY BILL! BILL! BILL!
I use potassium dichromate and sometimes permanganate to dissolve the developed silver when developing photographic film emulsions.
You're sponsored by aldrich chemistry and all they ask is for a little title card at the end? That's awesome.
METAL AF
🔥🔥🔥\m/ 👺🔥🔥🔥
does anybody have any suggestions for books? i am in grade 8 and i am intrested in chemistry and i want to be ahead of my class when i get to high school.
I would try posting on a video straight after it has been uploaded. I am British and I don't know what is in US exams and how much there is in the course so I wouldn't know what to get.
Just get any intro to chemistry book to get started.
*Anyone else got this in your recommendations?*
This reminds me of the time years ago I was waiting in a walk-in medical clinic. A little kid came in with his eyes barely open and his face was bright red. It turns out his toy chemistry set blew up in his face and he wasn't wearing goggles or anything. Everyone was worried about getting him to the back to try and save his vision. And the poor kid is like "it's nothing to worry about, I'm fine."
Ur prob the smartest most respected scientist in my opinion i like ur videos
Isn't dichromate cr2o7? with chromium in +3?
*+6
and isn't what we want potassium chromate?
Shouldn't chromium be in +7 in order to balance the charges?
ElAshtonio No it's actually a dichromate ion cr2O7 (2-)
Aditya Khanna Ah, that makes sense! I really do need to go back and study this stuff
Both the chromate and dichromate ions contain hexavalent (+6 oxidation state) chromium
No one is more deadly then a chemist, for the warrior may death as a tool the chemist sees it as a toy.
#walterwhite
well you don't get a victory speech because you didn't win. Maybe save it for next time?

Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it. You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won't let you inside. But when you get there, everything goes wrong.

Why the cameraman have the same tremor, as professor has?
+vbronzov resonance
They both handle harsh chemicals and elements.
He made a clone of himself in another video and also put him through a time machine so the end result is a younger looking version of him but sadly like some experiments it was a failure and they could remove the wiggly gene
Chemical engineers of the world unite!
You're the only one, from the looks of it. I'm a Mech engineer, if that makes you any feel better
Vacso Kagazzle Laloobay Hoophorn Wacago Seiliu it actually does :(
It looks like a yummy drink.
for a while i was scrolling through my home page and saw this thumb nail without reading the title and thought it was just an old man rocking out...
He is literally the ambassador of science.
i wish they would explain the bleach and hydrogen peroxide reaction.
OCl- + H2O2 → O2 + Cl- + H2O
Very little chlorine will be created, the solution is caustic and might boil though.
if u drink it, u gonna have a bad time.
Pure Water will not kill you. Also, Pure Water is so hard to produce on a regular basis, that you won't often find it.
freedustin your conditions are ridiculous and I am sure of what I said.

zee339 well if you've read info on it, could you please source it, i'd like to read it.
DHusky google it. do your own work
Suddenly 8 years after it was uploaded, *RUclips recommendations*
Yes! The 'chromium-butterfly'-experiment! Nice one! In German we call it the 'Cr-butterfly' coz the molecule CrO5 looks like a butterfly with triangular O2-wings and the Cr=O as a head. ;-)
Danken
Until he is alive science never dies.
When I took chemistry we had to measure stuff before mixing it together. No safety equipment either. This method seems a lot easier.
The intro for this video makes this guy a legend.
8 years later and im now worthing to watch this
