- What is fire? Or more importantly why does fire exist?
As fire is so essential to our lives and society it seems almost paramount that we learn why fire occurs to better understand the world around us.
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
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.
You know, taking A level chemistry and actually being able to understand all of this is just a really cool feeling. Great stuff.
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.
This is seriously one of the best science channels on RUclips. You’ll definitely hit the million subscriber level.
This channel is criminally underrated
yeah, but why?
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!
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.
Your videos are what will catalyze and ignite a spark in someone wanting to change the world. Incredible content!
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.
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 how you explain electron culture in your videos! :) Makes me happy and makes the video even more interesting! Great videos btw, keep it up!
The explanation of electronegativity with the help of concert is just awesome *chefs kiss*
Absolutely.
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.
just binged a ton of videos and this is one of the best channels on the platform. keep it up!
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!!
What a beautifull videolessons these on this channel are!
Im just gonna say it
This channel is a gem
This is such a great channel. I’m so glad I found it. Thank you sir
such a good channel. helps me fully grasp concepts ive struggled with but had an interest in for a long time. thank you!!!
You are doing humanity a great service! Keep up the awesome work.
I love your analogies, this one about representing electronegativity as seats to a concert really helped a lot. And it was also funny.
Thank you Buddy! That was nice at the end.
LOVE THIS, THANKS!!
these analogies... absolutely brilliant... keep it going my mans
Very good! Keep it up! I really enjoy learning from your videos 😁
Best analogy, ever.
Thank you for this compelling video!
Really enjoying these videos and appreciate the Expanse clip used to demo the concept.
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.
The music was on point. Awesome
most of my question answered from your channel, your channel is underrated
very wholesome finish to this interesting excursion.
thx.
Some of the best science content on RUclips 😁
This is an insanely good representation ! What a masterpiece 🤯🤯🤯❤️
Just discovered this channel. It's amazing! I hate that the algorithm hasn't promoted it sooner or more.
Wow amazing stuff dude.
Great work
Great job! Your videos are so good :)
This is the best way to explain this phenomenon I have ever heard
i needed that last sentence, thank you
Amazing!
Good of you to include Freddie Hg in your analogy.
New subscriber - you are a great story teller and the analogies are very clever and insightful, thank you!
Subscribing. Badass video keep it up
This animation style is pretty cute :>
lmao that concert seats analogy is something else
Always amazing videos!
What an easy to follow video. I wish I had you teaching my chem/biochem at med school
Superb video
Couldn't stop thinking of Freddie.
That was amazing I love it
What a beautiful analogy for electronegativity!!
Excellent explanation. Subbed.
lovely content
Beautiful
Thank you!
Very good video
Alliteration ... love it and appreciate the RL analogies
As a huge Queen fan and chemistry major I have to salute what you did there
Just a fantastic ending analogy
Omg I loved the intro animation!! Lol
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.
How do you not have hundreds of thousands of subscribers?
I was expecting close to 1 million after watching a few of your videos.
This video was 🔥
This is very informative
Where can I see the AmazonStudios clip of the fire on the spaceship growing?
Excellent explanation.
Dude this shit is soo underrated, the amount of research he had to do for this one video is just mind blowing
Right on
Your videos are damn good, if I were a teacher I'd be using this video in my class. Very informative
10:22 do these vortexes also scientifically follow you as you move your seating to get away from them?
Nice video:) what's the music in the background?
9:40 "too cool" to emit visible light… i see what you did there
very nice
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
Give this man an award...now!
Then why do plants photosynthesise? Do the end product of photosynthesis have lower energy than the starting compound?
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?
Your representations are adorable.
perfect
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.
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 wish my chemistry teacher back in HS was more like this channel.
What is the movie at 10:33 ?
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.
I love this video I just wish I knew more dorky people so I could have someone to talk about fire with. :(
Show!
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.
Heeeeaad, shoulders, knees and toes! 👍
Funny how until today I never even thought about how fire really worked. I knew the components but this blew my mind lol
It's not just blackbody radiation, different chemicals will give different spectrums
How does posi trac work? It just does.
"as the ball will roll down the hill"
ball literally floating💀
I always assumed the flame itself was plasma, guess I was wrong!
I asked this question when I was 14 and very stoned.. Everyone laughed at me coming out with such a stupid question. Glad 15 years on I find out its a good question.
