Very nice. Also, Sweden is shown for beryllium, because of Minecraft emeralds. For oxygen, the Maldives were chosen specifically, as their president in 2009 famously held an underwater cabinet meeting to bring awareness to his country's plight. As for sodium, there is a famous myth about Rome salting the earth around Carthage after the 3rd Punic War.
Niobium, if memory serves me correctly, is used as an alloy in fighter jet engines as it increases the thermal tolerance or something. Pretty much means the parts its used in can handle higher temperatures. Hence why Israel is not happy with that jet.

0:22 AirFrance flight 4590 Aircraft: concorde Concorde Air France (AF) 4590 was a Concorde aircraft from the Air France (AF) fleet that crashed while taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, which at that time was heading for New York, United States. This incident occurred on July 25 2000 and killed 109 people on board the plane and 4 people on the ground.
I remember seeing germanium, francium, and europium and thinking of the countries Germany and France, but I never knew there were so many more elements named after, or at least sound like, other places like Scandinavia and Tennessee of all places 😂
This is THE definitive music video for the song, also covering which elements are important to certain countries (both historically and contemporarily) and where their names originated!
For those who don't understand the Osmium-Nauru picture (at 1:45), it's a joke on how Osmium is the densest element (most mass in a given volume). Nauru is one of the most obese countries on earth, because they are an island nation unable to naturally grow food; thus, they have no choice but to import. However, unlike other island nations like Australia or New Zealand, Nauru isn't especially rich, so it has to opt for importing canned food. And regularly eating a lot of canned food will make you obese.
Also obesity is in their genetics : to survive on islands, you need a lot of enery from few food, which worked well in pre-industrial times but makes them really prone to obesity with a modern "diet"
2:32 Let me ask you, is this Moscow or the Moscow region? Simply Moscovium is named after the Moscow region, where Dubna is located. Dubna, because it was there that it was first synthesized.
The elements doesn't even need autotune.This is more fire than potassium in water 🔥 Edit: For those wondering why alkali metals burn in water: This reaction occurs because the alkali metals become ionized so easily in water. They produce heat and hydrogen gas in the process which leads to a violent reaction. Why this happens with alkali metals? Well, they have only one valence electron, which they readily lose to form a positive ion (achieving the noble gases configuration). And why they lose the electron so easily?. That is because of their low ionization energy, energy needed to remove one electron from the atom of an element (in gas state). The ionization energy is lower in elements located more at the left of the periodic table because the nucleus of the atom has less force to attract electrons. In addition the more you descend in the group of alkali metals, the atomic size is bigger so the valence electron is more far away from the nucleus and there is more repulsion with inner electrons (shielding effect). That means that Francium lose more easily its valence electron than Potassium so its reaction with water will be more violent than in the case of Potassium.

for anyone not understanding the arsenic picture, in Victorian england a color known as “Arsenic green” was widespread and it contained arsenic in it and arsenic led to arsenic poisoning and the british ball died because of arsenic poisoning
Basically, the Dutch are supposed to be very tall because they have a calcium rich diet (milk & cheese). As opposed to East Timorese who are among the shortest people in the world.
lol, i mean yeah, Radioactive elements won't last forever especially then one that has high atomic number But Moscow last long though, except the element
In case you were wondering, yttrium was discovered by a Finnish scientist Johan Gadolin. However, the element gadolinium is named after Johan Gadolin, which is why I used the same image as a semi-callback. Bonus: yttrium, terbium, erbium and ytterbium were all discovered in one Swedish village called Ytterby, which is why they all have the same background in the video. Scandium, holmium, thulium and of course gadolinium can also all trace their origin to Yttebvy village.

For those that don't get the Arsenic picture: In Victorian England (and elsewhere and elsewhen), arsenic was a key ingredient in the green dye "Arsenic Green" which was popular for wallpaper. During cold and damp months, the wallpaper had a tendency to molder, breaking down the dye and releasing the volatile arsenic and making people breathing it sick. Doctors would frequently prescribe beach holidays in these cases to get away from the damp weather believed to be causing the sickness (which, in a way, it was), and for some reason, likely having to do with the patients not breathing arsenic vapors, the afflicted would get better.

I remember seeing germanium, francium, and europium and thinking of the countries Germany and France, but I never knew there were so many more elements named after, or at least sound like, other places like Scandinavia and Tennessee of all places 😂
One of those ones I kinda knew about was Moscovium... Which was because of XCOM. Elerium is canonically supposed to be element 115.
Poloniun is also named after Poland (country that Maria Skłodowska was from)
Argentina comes from Argentum and I mean gold having the Spanish flag is such a good Easter egg
There are four elements named after the Swedish village of Ytterby.

For those who don't understand the Osmium-Nauru picture (at 1:45), it's a joke on how Osmium is the densest element (most mass in a given volume). Nauru is one of the most obese countries on earth, because they are an island nation unable to naturally grow food; thus, they have no choice but to import. However, unlike other island nations like Australia or New Zealand, Nauru isn't especially rich, so it has to opt for importing canned food. And regularly eating a lot of canned food will make you obese.
Also obesity is in their genetics : to survive on islands, you need a lot of enery from few food, which worked well in pre-industrial times but makes them really prone to obesity with a modern "diet"
Awesome! Did not know where some of those element names came from, thank you!

That's Capitalism vs Communism.

2:32 Let me ask you, is this Moscow or the Moscow region? Simply Moscovium is named after the Moscow region, where Dubna is located. Dubna, because it was there that it was first synthesized.
The elements doesn't even need autotune.This is more fire than potassium in water 🔥
Edit: For those wondering why alkali metals burn in water:
This reaction occurs because the alkali metals become ionized so easily in water. They produce heat and hydrogen gas in the process which leads to a violent reaction.
Why this happens with alkali metals? Well, they have only one valence electron, which they readily lose to form a positive ion (achieving the noble gases configuration).
And why they lose the electron so easily?. That is because of their low ionization energy, energy needed to remove one electron from the atom of an element (in gas state). The ionization energy is lower in elements located more at the left of the periodic table because the nucleus of the atom has less force to attract electrons.
In addition the more you descend in the group of alkali metals, the atomic size is bigger so the valence electron is more far away from the nucleus and there is more repulsion with inner electrons (shielding effect). That means that Francium lose more easily its valence electron than Potassium so its reaction with water will be more violent than in the case of Potassium.
Or lithium + water, and mercury + any other metal (i.e aluminum and gold)
@@pay-2winlithium + water has much less of a reaction than potassium + water
Francium + water

At 1:33 they used the same image
In case you were wondering, yttrium was discovered by a Finnish scientist Johan Gadolin. However, the element gadolinium is named after Johan Gadolin, which is why I used the same image as a semi-callback.
Bonus: yttrium, terbium, erbium and ytterbium were all discovered in one Swedish village called Ytterby, which is why they all have the same background in the video. Scandium, holmium, thulium and of course gadolinium can also all trace their origin to Yttebvy village.
