I love the concert analogy and the reaction bonding simulation style. Showing bonds as individual electrons rather than a ball and stick is rare to see outside of absolutely dedicated and typically boring college lecture material. Good!
These videos are exactly what I need to fill my nerdy head with. I have constantly debated about how the chemical reaction of fire works and what happens to the atoms. Please keep making more! 😁
The weird animation style gets me everytime, especially the "But Why?" intro and outro shirt, hahaha, it's so odd and corny but lovable. I hope the animation style maintains its weird flare, even as the channel grows and gets a bigger budget. What a great channel though, he has a talent for explaining complex things, that's for sure.
I got kicked out of my 10th grade science class after my teacher said “Everything is either a liquid, solid or a gas” and I asked him “what was fire”. For too many years I’ve wondered the answer and it proved my suspicion, which was the teacher didn’t know either and just was pissed that I stumped him.
8:25 I think explains the difference because not enough energy is produced to free the electrons from the atom there is a continual release of photons as the electrons return to the preferred lower energy state. If the electrons were to gain enough energy to detach then the nuclei would be completely ionized and exist in a plasma of separate positive and negative charged particles.
I really wish I would have discovered this channel sooner. Damn good information, with images and expansions that are not only way to understand, but easy to see how they can relate with every day life.
Man your Channel is just too good! I would like to give an advise, watch the video about click bait of Veritassium, I think your thumbnails is not giving your videos justice, and you could get really much more views testing other cover and tittle to your videos.
As all the others I've seen: Great video! I see your subs are increasing rapidly. That's great, this channel has a lot more to give us and I'm glad it's growing.
Dude you are legit amazing!! I have watched many of your videos and have been able to put many missing pieces of the puzzle in place through the fantastic visualisation and explanations. Big Thank you!!
8:00 The black body radiation is the result of thermal energy. Spectral emissions are from electrons jumping from orbital to orbital. An oscillating charged particle will create an electromagnetic wave. If you oscillate it fast enough, that wave will have a frequency visible to us. This is why black body radiation has a smooth spectrum (wavelength determined by oscillation rate) while spectral emissions have distinct wavelengths with dark gaps between them (wavelength determined by quantum transitions between energy levels). Certain chemical reactions do emit a large amount of spectral emissions due to quantum effects (copper burns green), but everything emits black body radiation due to thermal energy induced oscillation. This is why metals, like silver, can reflect practically every visible color. It is not because silver has millions of electron shell levels. It is because a sheet of silver has a “mist” of loosely bound electrons in the conduction band that has a high degree of freedom to move in a plane parallel to the metal nuclei. When light passes by these electrons, they induce an oscillation in the electrons. Those electrons then emit their own electromagnetic wave which creates the “reflection.” I use quotes in reflection because most people understand a reflection as a photon bouncing off of a surface even though it is really the induction and retransmission of conduction band electrons. Coincidentally, this is also why “reflected” light is polarized parallel to the surface of the metal.
thanks, i thought black body radiation was also due to de-excitations of electrons even before this video, lol i never really thought about how the black body spectrum is continuous but the spectral emissions are discrete that should've caused me to doubt the mechanism of black body radiation. I guess you learn new things everyday! also if reflection is due to light inducing electron oscillation and the electron radiating light due to that (acceleration of charged particle) shouldn't that resulting light radiate in random direction? so that wouldn't explain how a beam of light comes in at an angle at a mirror and leaves at the exact same angle?? or am i missing something?
Freddie Mercury in the noble gases is perfect, but no putting him with the emperor's crown is wasted opportunity, jokes aside, this video is fascinating.
I think you may have a few inaccuracies: The blue glow of a gas flame- or the base of a candle- is caused by photon emission when electrons drop to a lower orbital, but only the broadband yellow-orange glow is blackbody radiation from solid particles (soot) in the flame. The brightest part of the candle flame is where burning of these particles heats them up to the highest temperature. The top of a candle is still hot enough to emit light, but the soot has been almost completely consumed and the visible light radiation drops very quickly. Faraday's "Chemical History of a Candle" is an amazing read.
These videos are clearly working well for some people, as they’re commenting on it. But, I’m finding some of these metaphors somewhat tortured and esoteric. It’s very laudable to come up with new and appealing ways to teach important topics like chemistry and physics, so I hope you have great success. But, I find simplicity is most eloquent. ✌️
I think the metaphor is explained well enough. Despite its supposed esoteric nature, I believe anyone should be able to understand the concert metaphor even if it did seem a little contrived. I don't recall any other metaphors used in the video that could be considered esoteric and tortured.
A video about the flame of a candle said the interior of the flame plume appears (or is) hollow like a ballon. The video didn’t say why. But now I believe the cause is low to little oxygen in the flames interior. Right?
Nice job. Love the visuals! Tips for making it better: slowing down the narration would make the video better as well as some "credits" at the end...i.e., music, narrator, script writing, etc.
It’s crazy to think that most if not all fires are INCOMPLETE conversions of chemicals into energy. In fact most strong oxidant chemicals can usually reignite the ash from a previous fire since there is still often elements present that can still react and release energy they just need extra help beyond just the normal process of combustion.
Is this also the reason why entropy always increases? the end result of this after all is a lower state. You cannot travel back in time because you have to return a stable state to an unstable state? which demands additional energy?

i love the nice endings that take my mind off science and remind me i’m a human watching an educational video
Man that ending was exactly what I needed after some stressful times!
That's exactly what a robot would say!
It's wholesome
I should be capitalised.
I love the concert analogy and the reaction bonding simulation style. Showing bonds as individual electrons rather than a ball and stick is rare to see outside of absolutely dedicated and typically boring college lecture material. Good!
It was creative, but honestly I thought it was confusing and strayed too far from the point.
i don't
Wow, this guys analogies are incredible. Absolute genius
These videos are exactly what I need to fill my nerdy head with. I have constantly debated about how the chemical reaction of fire works and what happens to the atoms. Please keep making more! 😁
Glad to feed the addiction
Likewise!!!

My new favourite channel. A mix of this weirdly animated science channel + the articulation of veritasium or vsauce = Magic

You know, taking A level chemistry and actually being able to understand all of this is just a really cool feeling. Great stuff.

This channel is criminally underrated
yeah, but why?
This is seriously one of the best science channels on RUclips. You’ll definitely hit the million subscriber level.
How timely! I was just discussing these topics with my son. I can't wait to show this to him when he wakes.
I just assumed all fire was plasma, but I guess that’s not the case!!! I love learning this stuff, thank you!

Your videos are what will catalyze and ignite a spark in someone wanting to change the world. Incredible content!
Im just gonna say it
This channel is a gem
Love these videos. Nothing like the head shoulder knees and toes concert!
I really wish I would have discovered this channel sooner. Damn good information, with images and expansions that are not only way to understand, but easy to see how they can relate with every day life.
The explanation of electronegativity with the help of concert is just awesome *chefs kiss*
Absolutely.
I love how you explain electron culture in your videos! :) Makes me happy and makes the video even more interesting! Great videos btw, keep it up!
Man your Channel is just too good! I would like to give an advise, watch the video about click bait of Veritassium, I think your thumbnails is not giving your videos justice, and you could get really much more views testing other cover and tittle to your videos.
What a beautifull videolessons these on this channel are!
Great explanation 👍. Slight reduction in speed of narration will be helpful.🙏
Thanks for the criticism. I've been learning and have drastically slowed down my current and future videos.
As a huge Queen fan and chemistry major I have to salute what you did there
You are doing humanity a great service! Keep up the awesome work.
As all the others I've seen: Great video! I see your subs are increasing rapidly. That's great, this channel has a lot more to give us and I'm glad it's growing.
I love your analogies, this one about representing electronegativity as seats to a concert really helped a lot. And it was also funny.
Ok so basically, fire is a bunch of tiny really hot particles being blown upward
Best analogy, ever.
Some of the best science content on RUclips 😁
It's not just blackbody radiation, different chemicals will give different spectrums
This is such a great channel. I’m so glad I found it. Thank you sir
Couldn't stop thinking of Freddie.
What a beautiful analogy for electronegativity!!
This animation style is pretty cute :>
Just discovered this channel. It's amazing! I hate that the algorithm hasn't promoted it sooner or more.
Dude you are legit amazing!! I have watched many of your videos and have been able to put many missing pieces of the puzzle in place through the fantastic visualisation and explanations. Big Thank you!!
This is an insanely good representation ! What a masterpiece 🤯🤯🤯❤️
LOVE THIS, THANKS!!
This is the best way to explain this phenomenon I have ever heard
Very good! Keep it up! I really enjoy learning from your videos 😁
Well, this video explained to me why a blue flame can turn yellow/orange when you drop water on it. I always wondered about that.
most of my question answered from your channel, your channel is underrated
such a good channel. helps me fully grasp concepts ive struggled with but had an interest in for a long time. thank you!!!
Good of you to include Freddie Hg in your analogy.
Thank you for this compelling video!

Subscribing. Badass video keep it up
How do you not have hundreds of thousands of subscribers?
I was expecting close to 1 million after watching a few of your videos.
The music was on point. Awesome
very wholesome finish to this interesting excursion.
thx.
Freddie Mercury in the noble gases is perfect, but no putting him with the emperor's crown is wasted opportunity, jokes aside, this video is fascinating.
lmao that concert seats analogy is something else
Superb video
Thank you Buddy! That was nice at the end.

these analogies... absolutely brilliant... keep it going my mans
Where can I see the AmazonStudios clip of the fire on the spaceship growing?
i needed that last sentence, thank you
Just a fantastic ending analogy
Give this man an award...now!
Great work
Nice video:) what's the music in the background?

Wow amazing stuff dude.
This is very informative
Really enjoying these videos and appreciate the Expanse clip used to demo the concept.
New subscriber - you are a great story teller and the analogies are very clever and insightful, thank you!
Omg I loved the intro animation!! Lol
Amazing!
I love this video I just wish I knew more dorky people so I could have someone to talk about fire with. :(
Very good video
What an easy to follow video. I wish I had you teaching my chem/biochem at med school
lovely content
Dude this shit is soo underrated, the amount of research he had to do for this one video is just mind blowing
Beautiful
This video was 🔥
Always amazing videos!
Thank you!
9:40 "too cool" to emit visible light… i see what you did there
That was amazing I love it
Alliteration ... love it and appreciate the RL analogies
Great job! Your videos are so good :)
Excellent explanation.
It is why does chemistry exist...
I wish my chemistry teacher back in HS was more like this channel.
Your representations are adorable.
A video about the flame of a candle said the interior of the flame plume appears (or is) hollow like a ballon. The video didn’t say why. But now I believe the cause is low to little oxygen in the flames interior. Right?
There's something about fire that speaks to us on a base level. Who among us hasn't been absorbed in staring into a campfire
Then why do plants photosynthesise? Do the end product of photosynthesis have lower energy than the starting compound?
You’re like vsauce on steroids. How did I never find you. You’re what “I like to make stuff” is to William Osman and Michael Reeves.
Heeeeaad, shoulders, knees and toes! 👍
What is the movie at 10:33 ?
very nice
Right on
Your videos are damn good, if I were a teacher I'd be using this video in my class. Very informative
Nice job. Love the visuals! Tips for making it better: slowing down the narration would make the video better as well as some "credits" at the end...i.e., music, narrator, script writing, etc.
Yes yes.. The explanation is filled with scientific jargon but I feel the explanation is not enough. What EXACTLY is fire?
1:40 - 1:57 THAT explains my general behaviour 😂😂
It’s crazy to think that most if not all fires are INCOMPLETE conversions of chemicals into energy. In fact most strong oxidant chemicals can usually reignite the ash from a previous fire since there is still often elements present that can still react and release energy they just need extra help beyond just the normal process of combustion.
perfect
How does posi trac work? It just does.
Is this also the reason why entropy always increases? the end result of this after all is a lower state. You cannot travel back in time because you have to return a stable state to an unstable state? which demands additional energy?
