- A few years ago Tom (ExF) and I did a collaboration and he showed the spontaneous combustion of silane and diborane. I went further and in this video I'll show you in addition to silane and diborane also phosphine, titanium tetrahydride and possibly stibine and stannane. I cannot confirm the formation of the last two gases so see for yourself and leave comments.

an ozone generator is less than 100 bucks!
Felicks, did I tell you how brave I think you are? You show us chemistry that HAS to be a bit scary. But you do it for us all the time. Brilliantly!
You are the craziest chemist that I love the most, probably you are the top test tube destroyer on RUclips
I am a test tube baby destroyer😈😈

We all love lithium aluminium hydride but BRO JUST SHOWED UP WITH LITHIUM HYDRIDE
What's next helium hydride!!??
lah
EXACTLY! LIKE BRO WAHT?!
It's the starting material to make LiAlH4. It's a lot cheaper to make it than purchase it as well.
Next video: pure electrons
These methane analogues are probably not seen anywhere else, thank you ❤
You should donate!
You do all these cool videos but you never show the after. I would be interested in seeing your cleanup, disposal, safety measures, and just in general the after the experiments. Also you should do more of yourself in these videos! Thanks again for another interesting video! I would also like to see your lab!

The atmosphere is natures bin ;)
Man this guy has all the cool chemicals to play with. I am so jealous.
I'm amazed that lithium hydride is so stable in air...
Aaah nice another set of forbidden classroom demonstrations 😅
The slow motion replays of the various combustion reactions are gorgeous as usual.
Great intro! It's only a bunch of rocks, but they are shown in a way -- and with a sound track -- that builds intrigue. Fancy camera work to "stroll" through a field of objects that small. The artistry on this channel is amazing.
Lithium + sulfur hexafluoride, the torpedo fuel that produces no gas so it can be used at any depth please or lithium + Teflon which is used for decoy flares for heat seeking missiles. Another fantastic video excellently shot as always.
Pretty sure explosions and fire did the teflon/lithium reaction
I thought that they got banned by YT
Just checked the videos are still up
@@garethjones4742 Yeah, well he got the fire part but he missed the explosion part. There was a U.S. plant making these flares and a fire started and people didn't go far enough away and the deflagration converted into a detonation like Texas City and Beirut and killed a number of plant workers because just like with ammonium nitrate nobody knew it was explosive until it exploded.
@@bobsmith6079ammonium nitrate is not an explosive
The pale yellow flame when you added the antimony pentachloride was oddly pretty. Such a gentle color coming from Turbo-Cancer Juice.
LiH is probably best known for being a big enhancer for thermonuclear weapons.
Lithium deuteride is the bomb enhancer (extra neutron thrown towards the Hydrogen atom)
The cinematography here is amazing!!
Well consider me chemically informed. Thanks. Great work as usual!
The silicon one is a silicosis smoke bomb
Strange, I didn't see this video suggested to me until today. Always amazing production quality and I really enjoy them.
Love all the videos, thanks for another one. Please don’t change anything.
You truly catch the beautiful world of chemistry.Even if you have no clue the experiment you are doing.The colors and camera shots are great thank you
I am always shocked that this channel doesn't have a larger following. It's easily better than a lot of other chemistry channels!
It will in the future just takes some time
Right, like nile red who can't seem to do anything right.
@@Fine_i_set_the_handle That's the point of his channel. For many it's funny
@@Fine_i_set_the_handle I used to like his videos but they are getting worse every video
Thanks for the truly well made one of a kind videos. You're doing really great work and you seem to have very high safety standards.
Best chemistry channel by far! I love seeing all these rare chemicals and reactions. Thanks!!!
I would like if you did a comparison of reaction in the presence and absence of air, to see how LiH reacts with chlorides without burning of the product
Dudes slo mos are always on point and great focus you see all the little details fantastic job bro
My favorite reaction uses an isotopic sister-compound of LiH: LiD (Lithium deuteride). First all, some neutrons are required: ⁶LiD + ¹n → D + T + ⁴He↑. Then, we need 63keV to form D + T → ¹n + 17.6 MeV + ⁴He. I really love this reaction.
And now we've got thermonuclear... 😂
@@drMentalBar It always depends on your intention. Since the difference between an explosive device and a power plant is only defined by the energy turnover by time unit, you can use this reaction for electrical power production as well. One feasible way is to use LiD as a fuel in a high yield, high pressure pulse plasma fusion reactor, we had developed in our institue about ten years ago - before it was shut down by our government due to issues with our oil industry and mineral oil tax system: First, kick-start the reaction by exploding a tiny amount of LiD in the Hohlraum within a T-gas atmosphere. This will create a bunch of 14.1MeV-neutrons, that produces additional T from LiD in situ for subsequent shots. Thermal power can be extracted from moderated surplus-neutrons and Alpha-particles, inductively slowed down (provides about 20% of the total output power as electricity). Since each cycle is 100% externally powered, all hassles with the Lawson criterion vanish and you can get a yield, Tokamak-people can only dream of. After we had started with the aneutronic p-B-reaction scheme, politicians freaked out. Pulse plasma fusion science at SNL (Sandia National Lab) was defunded by the US-government and the institute for nuclear energy physics at the University of Basel (Switzerland) was completely closed down. Since 2017, our nuclear law forbids exothermic nuclear fusion for power generation explicitly.
Bravo!
Sounds like a fuel recipe for a Teller-Ullam device😂.
@@milosbulatovic7346 It always depends on ones intention: Energy production, or destruction.
Your content is underrated. This should have millions of views.
Amazing slow mo shots of chemistry, really well done.
I also wish I had something I could trust, like you trust your fume hood. :D
Thanks!
🤑 Thank you! 🤑
I'll add your name to the credits for my next video about how I add tert-butyllithium to liquid oxygen oops spoiler 😬
BBr you awake ? New Chemical Force video just dropped
Another superb video. Thank you.
This cinematic intro is insane :) Good job!
Amazing and rare footage sir. Awesome work as usual.
5:16 BBr3
Forbidden rock salt.😋
It is BBr3 at the place of PBr3 at 5:16 :D
I like all your videos but this one was especially great 😊
In the last experiment, it looks like the ozonated oxygen ignited lithium hydride chunks that were ejected from the mix. Super cool experiments!
So many awesome reactions!!!!!
5:55 Lovely meteor simulation
Well... I'm glad you knew the reactivity better than I did. I near bricked it when you dropped a large piece in water.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Incredible work!
So many great reactions in this one, but the TiCl reaction was just lovely
are you a filmmaker who got into chemistry
or a chemist who got into filmmaking
because the shots of these reactions are truly cinema quality 🤩👍👍
truly underrated content here 👌👌👌
the slow motion videos are gorgeous
Great video!
I love that ozone + TiH4 demonstration, especially with that thick TiO2 smoke
dude's discovery channel of chemistry
I do enjoy watching things go boom.
man i loved those pyrophoric gas video
I remember making LiAlH4 from that. Easiest way to do it is add AlCl3 LiH and dioxane to a ball mill with a dry nitrogen purge and let it grind for a few days. You end up with a syrup of dioxane and LiAlH4 and some LiCl. Best to calculate the strength in g/ml and use it in this form.❤
I love you're channel
fantastic video.
interesting chemistry as always
Love your's videos 😊😊
Background music as perfect as video
👍
Compliments from this point viewing accentuate is spot online quality...
Extremely well done...
...I'm never going to attend & many of these observations i won't attempt...
...Thanks volatility in Caspian measure..
Utube favorites.
Wow! Thank you for getting such rare things! Please tell me how to get lithium hydride from lithium amide?
Seeing reactions that could never be done in a traditional chemistry lab is amazing. I think there is some really important chemistry to be gleaned from some of these experiment. The reaction with SiH4 is particularly interesting as I would like to do some TEM on the "SiO2" smoke. Now, how about C3O2 which is described as an "evil smelling" liquid?
WE MAKING IT ON THE FBI WATCHLIST WITH THIS ONE
Oh damn, people used to buy heroin OTC, now you simply can't do anything more dangerous than a sodium bicarbonate shit, then they expect competent people working at the boeing door sealant and don't realize why the stuff is so expensive nowadays.
One Neutron short for this task😏
FFS have a day off
Why?
@@goiterlanternbase I see what you did there! Good one!
I thought I was brave when I used Silane and Diethyl Zinc to ignite rocket engines, but then this magnificent madman adds OZONE for that certain je ne sais quoi...
And can be highly unpredictable as well!!
Would like to see the reaction of lithium hydride with concentrated hydrogen peroxide (85% or higher) or white fuming nitric acid. Believe both reactions are hypergolic especially with nitric acid.
Ahh the collaboration video. But seriously, what are you up to? (especially with ozone!)
I really wish i could see its true potential in reducing properties like being able to reduce titanium carbide iron carbide(good old steel) or alkoxides(besides hydrogen) or even aluminium phosphide or organic phosphide could have been amazing
What’s the tarry dark substance that’s in the tube right when you’re melting the hydride ?
Hey your chemical videos are very nice.But now you should have to create a video about'copper arsenide'.
Could you use a diffraction grating to discern the elements in that colorful fire ?
My lungs puckered up during this video.
Let’s Actually Go! Chemically wise😅
Our boy is legendary.
Hi love your Videos
can you make a labtour somedays? would absolutely love to see one
5:16 has a text error. It says PBr3 but should be BBr3. (Boron not Phosphorus).
"Mildly" dangerous, compared to nuclear weapons 😂
But realy exotic reagents, best in the word.
Plus perfect cinematography.
Even watching from here I feel the urge to put on safety glasses!
Is LiH more reactive than CsH? If it is then is it more reactive, because of the same reason Li metal can reduce ceasium?
Smaller molecule size, the only thing that can reduce this compound is theoretical metallic hydrogen and it should reduce to more metallic hydrogen, that's why obtaining even a single sample of metallic hydrogen is important.
No, Caesium Hydride is the most reactive of the alkali metal hydrides.
I love how aggressive some of those tetra- and penta-chlorides are, when they ignite in the test tube.
Part of me will always wonder, how they smell. :3
Actually a crazy person. Great Video tho
We need more reaction of LiH, maybe organics or different nitrates, phosphates, sulfates, perchlorate and oxides.
What’s causing the reddish flame around the main flame in the SiCl4 one?
4:32 Silicon dioxide, or as I like to call it, spark plug wire magic smoke. That thing you see in cars when either a spark coil fails or one of the spark plug wires falls on the exhaust and turns into a big pile of fluffy dust.
3:46 Silane is no joke btw, stuff's evil. Known for causing many an industrial chemical explosion.
What is the best reducing agent? What would PH3 + I2 do?
Does LiH react with diamond dust? Consider molten LiH(xs) plus Al4C3. Aluminum carbide hydrolyzes to methane. Would it dissolve in excess molten LiH to give an exotic carbide solution that direct current electrolyzes (oxidizes!) to diamond (plus H2 byproduct)?
Diamond is not favored at STP with respect to graphite so no diamond for you...

First...know something. Then...type.
I recently saw something about people proposing caesium and rubidium for hydrogen storage. After watching this it occurs to me that they probably mean hydrides. Just how dangerous would these be in comparison?
Can you show us the clean up process?
Maybe some Silane/Silene/Silyne reactions sometime?
A nice and interesting topic... but you did not tell us how lithium hydride is formed in nature and in the laboratory... Thank you for this effort you are making.
It for sure doesnt exist in nature
@3:15 That is a big ampoule!
I was hoping to see some oxygen dihydride: surely it would be super flammable.
RIP test tube.
🤑Thanks mate!🤑
I think this is enough for one used quartz test tube 😁
According to wikipedia, TiH4 is thermodynamically unstable and has never been produced in bulk. Not sure what product you made, but at those temperatures, there's no way TiH4 survived long enough to exit the tube. Also, all the halides you mention would flash boil on contact with the ~700C liquid hydride, so this whole video is suspicious.
You know what might be interesting to see in action? Exuding mercury from fish.
How good a reducing agent is it in layman's terms? Like if i put my debts in there will it reduce them? Asking for a friend.
casually generates PHOSPHENE in his lab...just to allow it to self-decompose....for views....legend
8:20 and around... "Hey I know this music video... don't I?"
this part of the video [ 4:24 ]
made me think of this
1:56 / 2:40 Raiders of the Lost Ark (9/10) Movie CLIP - Face Melting Power (1981) HD
LiH - never thought of it being the lightest ionic compound. WOW, nice footage and soundtrack. What else can one do with LiH? Sane chemists, I mean. :D
some very interesting density lens effect happening . 4:19
I'm confused, if there's no change in the oxidation number for the reactions you showed, then why is it a reducting agent?
Sir, these reactions look much like something that could have get a student to get expelled from the lab.
Molten Salt question: when an ionic, crystalline compound melts, are the atoms still ions?
