The periodic table is very cleverly set up, there’s actually a fair amount of depth to the way it’s arranged… things like subatomic particles, valence shells and electronegativity have influence in element’s positions. Truthfully, I don’t remember that much but after hating chemistry in highschool, i had to take it in university and actually enjoyed it.
you are right about uranium not seeming like the biggest element, but the they were referring to naturally occurring elements, as all the bigger elements after that must be created in a lab to exist also, most of the things you can do with a period table is math- based; balancing charges, percent composition, empirical formulas, molar conversions, etc.
Yeah reading the table isn’t very useful unless you have a teacher or already know what you’re looking for. It’s like trying to learn to drive without getting in a car and just using the regulations book. You might be able to, but it would be a lot easier with a teacher and a car to sit in.
Lots of tingles even though I do have a science background. You did pretty well understanding the basics. Like I said though the tingles I got from this was insane. You’ve got a new subscriber
The periodic table can be intimidating but if you think about it, it's pretty intuitive. I'm not a chemistry specialist and english is not my first language but I'ma try to kinda break down some concepts. First, you gotta understand atoms. Atoms are made of a nucleus (core) that contain protons and neutrons, and electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge, that's why in a given atom you always have the same amount of electrons and protons but the number of neutrons might change, creating what we call isotopes. Isotopes are different "versions" of an atom with slightly different properties and a different amount of neutrons in their core. For example, the most stable form of hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron but you can add an neutron to the nucleus creating an isotope called deuterium. The mass of atoms is conventionally measured as the number of protons plus the number of neutrons so, in the case of helium, you have 2 neutrons and 2 protons meaning the mass of helium is 4 (except if it's an isotope and it has extra neutrons). The mass that you saw for hydrogen (1.00794) is actually the average mass of all hydrogen isotopes by the frequence they appear in nature (the base, most stable form weights 1 but other rarer isotopes like the forementioned deuterium weights 2, so it brings the average weight of hydrogen atoms a bit higher). Now the electron shells part might be a bit difficult for me to explain (as i said, english is not my first language) but the gist of it is that electrons are divided by layers that get further away from the nucleus they are orbiting. The more electrons an atom has the more layers it needs to fit all of them and the further away the layer is, more electrons can it handle. Depending on the number of the layers and what the last (valence) layer is, the properties of an atom might be different. Also, the elements that you saw that have no example of real life use is because those elements are man made and do not occur naturally because of atom decay (basically, the atom is too big and it divides itself into smaller atoms to get more stable). I hope my explanation isn't confusing and it helps you understand more about atoms and the periodic table. Love your vids, btw.
By no means am I a chemistry whiz, but if it helps to read it in a comment from another person: -The atomic number gives the element its “identity,” meaning that an element with a single proton will always be hydrogen, two protons will always be helium, etc. -The atomic mass number (which didn’t appear to be on your periodic table, or I couldn’t see it) is the mass (“amount of matter”) in the atom. Typically, protons and neutrons are the majority of that mass (their masses are essentially the same, while electrons have a much smaller mass). So again, atomic mass number adds the mass of the protons with the mass of the neutrons (you can consider the electron mass as negligible). -The atomic mass unit is just a unit of measurement… you can convert it to different units if desired. -The protons/neutrons reside in the center part of the atom, and electrons are in a “cloud” buzzing around that center in “shells.” Shells get a bit complicated and involve more so the electrical properties of the element (which is a very fascinating topic by the way). -The column numbers have something to do with the number of electrons on the outer shell of the element. I’ll stop here…. Don’t mean to overload you with information, just wanted to try to help :)
If you look into Bohr models (or other graphical models) of the elements, it might help illustrate this when looking at the table too. I’m at the part of the video where you mention having a hard time grasping onto (practical applications), and a lot of semiconductors (what is used for computer chips, etc) involves some device physics which can go hand-in-hand with chemistry. That part is very interesting (in my opinion of course lol).
Atomic Mass refers to the average number of Protons and Neutrons in an atom, elements have 'isotopes' which just means the same atom but with more or less Neutrons than usual, Hydrogen most commonly has only 1 proton and no neutrons, but very rarely some Hydrogen atoms have 1 or 2 Neutrons, but these atoms are very rare in nature so the average number of protons and neutrons for Hydrogen is only barely above 1. Normal Hydrogen makes up around 99.98% of Hydrogen, Hydrogen atoms with a neutron makes up roughly 0.0145% and Hydrogen with 2 Neutrons make up the rest.
When you do your intro and say 'hi it's Linda with no frills'. For some reason 'Linda on my mind' by Conway Twitty just starts playing in my head hahaha
I was a terrible student in this life, definitely not a teacher. Past lives I haven’t tapped into yet. 😊 Thanks for the comment! Glad you learning with me! Did you watch the Leap Year video - that one will come in handy for trivia soon!
@@Nofrillsasmr Yes i did! I'm walking around with so much leap year knowledge i'm trying to think of ways i can casually bring up century leap years in my daily conversations
Loved this ASMR video! In case you’re interested, I did a basics video on the periodic table that might help it all make more sense ☺️ ruclips.net/video/UFhfD9FhpME/видео.htmlfeature=shared

That’s a very kind gesture. Your videos are so lovely. Especially for those who love learning and have problems relaxing 😂❤
Linda, this is great. Thanks for giving chemistry a go even though it’s been a while!
Thanks! 🧪 It’s all still a mystery to me tbh.

I love your enthusiasm for it! Thank you for this comment!!
Majoring in chemistry rn, chemistry is all about the electrons, also the periodic table is goated
you are right about uranium not seeming like the biggest element, but the they were referring to naturally occurring elements, as all the bigger elements after that must be created in a lab to exist

@alextorchia2289 “made in a lab” - got it now! Thanks!!
I could watch your videos all day when you have to look stuff up in books its very interesting. Great Video!!
Glad you like them! Thanks!!
I came across this video (and your channel) randomly and I love it. I’ve even purchased a 2nd hand copy of the Oxford family encyclopaedia for myself!
I watched this video while doing my chemistry homework. It felt nice to hear you talk about the basics while I'm doing the more complicated stuff.
I’m so glad! Keep up the complicated stuff - we need more smart people in the world!! 👍
@@Nofrillsasmr Thank you!

Thank you for all this information! I’ll read it more carefully as soon as I can! Thanks!!!
As a chemist this was tough to watch but not in a bad way. I wanted to help you out the whole way hahaha
I needed your help!! lol!!
Chemistry teacher here-same! 😂 I was like, should I link one of my lectures for her?! But huge respect for self-study. Good job!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this! 💐
Hands, voice, it's all working. Keep it up 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
i just love your videos so much! 😄
I’m so glad!! Thank you for watching!

Ohh, I like all this info. I’m sanding a table right now, but later when I have time I’ll look this all over! Thanks so much!!

i see an asmr video with the periodic table of elements, i click
Thanks for watching!!

Great song! Linda is the "other woman" in that one!
Yes they are elements
Thank you!
Love me some STEM asmr!!
I'm so glad. I know you probably won't learn any science from me, but it's still fun!
Were you a teacher in this life or a previous one? I swear i'm learning more from you than i did from 20+ high school teachers.
I was a terrible student in this life, definitely not a teacher. Past lives I haven’t tapped into yet. 😊 Thanks for the comment! Glad you learning with me! Did you watch the Leap Year video - that one will come in handy for trivia soon!
@@Nofrillsasmr Yes i did! I'm walking around with so much leap year knowledge i'm trying to think of ways i can casually bring up century leap years in my daily conversations
💗🤗
I’m in high school right now and I’m sooo ready to not have to do chemistry ever again 😅
I totally understand that! 😊
You totally had a Billy Madison moment with your "69, dude!" comment 🤣🤣🤣
😂

Great, thanks!
What about todays word search?😊
I felt like posting 3 videos in one day might be obnoxious. 🥴
Would love if you could read some facts about space/the universe.
I’ll look for a book with space facts for sure!
What r your thoughts on undisclosed elements.
Do u think there are hidden ones that governments don't want the population to know about?
Obviously I don’t know much about this, but my gut feeling, probably not. Thanks for watching.
@@Nofrillsasmr thanks for replying.
I like you.
Your a caring individual and unshallow..
