Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
In this video I would like to tell you about such an unusual element as antimony. This element belongs to group 15 and to the so-called semimetal series of the periodic table. From a chemistry point of view antimony is rather a metal. It means that it easily oxidizes or in other words it gives its electrons and it even looks like metal. Metallic antimony is silvery and can easily be confused with bismuth. However, in contrast to other metals that are good heat and electricity conductors, antimony doesn’t provide electricity well. Because of such a property it was added on to nonmetals. Even scientists still can’t decide if antimony is a metal or not. Nevertheless, antimony as an element shouldn’t be confused with stibnite that is its natural mineral - antimony trisulfide. Since ancient times women have used stibnite in powdered form to darken their eyebrows and eyelashes. Because of that, nowadays, the word stibnite is often associated with cosmetics. Of course nowadays antimony trisulfide is rarely used because its compounds are toxic to people. For instance now antimony trisulfide is used to make watch heads. It is stibnite that antimony is extracted from by melting of the mineral with further reduction of the oxide to the elementary antimony. - Věda a technologie
Antimony: "The most explosive element on earth"
Caesium: Hold my electron.
LOL
@H0M36R0WN 73RR0R157 L337 I agree
Weapons grade plutonium? Sodium?
@@Chrisbell804 Damn Plutoniom ? Caesium is the new trend.
Great 😂 😂 😂
The one of the most important use of antimony is for doping Silicon in order to make semiconductors.
Bruno Perina yess.. I learnt that recently. I love chemistry
M S that’s awesome dude! Stay curious! We never can learn enough!
Bruno Perina absolutely sire !
That's DOPE!
self healing I see what u did there.
Antimony was mined and used by my ancestors, the Patawomeck Native Americans of Virginia as a silvery colored powdered cosmetic paint. The Englishman of Jamestown fame John Smith, visited the Patawomeck in 1608 hoping Antimony had a commercial use, but chemists of his day found it useless, and considered it a novelty.
"Dangerous! do not repeat!"
*goes back 5 seconds and repeats it*
You mostly forgot to mention fluoroantimonic acid, the most acidic compound on earth (Kpa = -23), able to protonate hydrocarbons. Great video !
Waaaaaa?
May I suggest Alimony: the most EXPENSIVE metal on Earth! :D
Thats not metal my men. In the science world we call it matter.
@@haynguyen8238 r/woooooosh
Meh, it's not a metal. I suppose if you wanted to follow that logic, the most expensive metal would be the metal the marriage or engagement rings are made out of.
I thought platinum is the most expensive 😮
@@sockington1 I mean, if you're going to say that at least link me to some good content creators bro/bra 🙄
I throughly enjoy every elemental study you do. The earliest of your videos, may I suggest, you revisit and update to your more recent style. They are with great information and re-releasing with updates can only add to your greatness.
I'd love to see a series on element crystaline structures. Possibly even a series on growing them
Antimony :
me :
Antimony : so you have chosen death
Good jokes
If earth 100% antimony earth could be most explosive place that we could never live...somehow they create fluoroantimonic acid...Well done scientists.
I came here to make some joke hope you like it and also my age 14 and still high school.
It has one of the coolest names
Thank you for posting this..you answered all my questions!
Cool vid,thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir!
We used to have sacks and sacks of type metal bars and also nuggets of Antimony/lead based alloy and also brick sized bullion of it too.
It was left overs from when my Dad did printing of newspapers back in the 60s
Ah, Antimony. Reminds me of the Bagual revolvers produced decades ago by a local gunsmithing company. Antimony frame and barrel, steel drum and barrel sleeve. If it didn't blow up in your hand, it surely corroded badly no matter how you stored it.
Wow
Very interesting... thank you for sharing :)
Added to the plates of liquid Pb-H2SO4 batteries (1 to 4%), antimony improves their cycle life tremendously, helping the reversal of the sulfation process.
he said that in the video 4:00
Great video. Antimony is also added to lead used to cast bullets. It makes the lead harder. I belive as well that China supplies 95% of the worlds Antimony supply and currently they are not being very forthcoming with it.
Antimony is a constituent of the world's strongest acid.(Fluoroantimonic acid)
Suganthi Baskaran I read somewhere that there is an acid, which is 1 000 000 times stronger than sulphuric acid - carboranic acid
Jakub Komorowski-Marcjan I don't talk about H2CO3 "you twat", I talk about H(CHB11Cl11) and it is spelled "carboranic"
Wei Zhao Thx man, bit there was no need. I saw his comment from the notification I received a minutes before for your comment 😀😀
Wei Zhao I found about it in a Russian researches. Try typing the formula CH2B11Cl11 and you may find it
I know about carborane by wikipedia and looking up acids based on carbon a long time ago. This was before I knew about organic chemistry
also you dont know how necessary it is to tell that kind of person that they are wrong and what they did to be wrong
The best channel! Dude your vids are going to be studied at school's
my school teacher anonimusly called us as a chemical elements, I was Antimony :D
That's cute.
Damn I wish my teacher did that.
My chemistry teacher in High School took one look at me and said: Barium before he decomposes.
I enjoy all your videos Thoisoi, a question for a expert chemistry like you: It's possible to determine physical characteristics based on the molecular structure?, for example know what color, or magnetic level?
Thank you very much,i have learned so much from your videos,they are fascinating
I've learned more from you, than what I learned in school. Great video.
Can you do a video on some of the techniques and believes of the alchemists that were trying to turn lead into gold?
And I’ve heard that it’s possible to do so inside of some nuclear reactors.
chris diaz , that would be a good one. I'm sure there were success stories.
Large-ion accelerators such as Brookhaven have produced gold from lighter elements, but it is far cheaper and faster to just buy a gold mine.
Markle2k ironic that you mention Brookhaven, I live on Long Island just a few miles from the lab.
hg-196 + n --> hg-197
hg-197 ---n to p/e + electron capture--> au-197
0.015% of Hg is Hg-196
all you need is the neutron
if you can enforce decay beyond lead... no issues
Alchemy is Sorcery... ( the occult/sorcery) is requisite of forces beyond Science.
Put your finger in the Devils mouth and he’ll consume your hand.
Very interesting. One thing I think is so fascinating is that so many elements look alike, but are so very very different. I look forward to watching all your videos and learning more. I wish I could have appreciated The elements when I was in school. The presentation was so dry and confusing and it defied my logic of my child brain.
Not till I read The Disappearing Spoon did I come to realize how exciting and marvelous an exciting the elements are. Even when I cook, I think about the elements, and the chemistry that goes into cooking.
Speaking of explosive, Antimony is often added to lead to make harder bullets 😎
Along with tin!
With traces of other metals too
I use a prepared lead antimony alloy that is added to my lead scrap to increase hardness of cast bullets.
Hornady critical duty has an antimony core
@@BrianMusic12 Not an antimony core, but a high antimony lead alloy so that the bullet has "barrier blind" characteristics.
Please, good sir, include the periodic table abbreviations of the element, next to the element name in your titles of each CZcams video. Makes it very handy this way, and easier to memorize.
Judging by the content this channel should be above 10M
Great information ...I love it thanks...
Спасибо за видео!
Please make a video on "Thorium" and it's uses such as "Thorium Energy". I like your videos, Thanks for such a great effort.
Keep up the awesome videos!
When I was in the 6th grade, my teacher gave me a substantial chunk (approx. 500g) of metallic antimony (it was nugget-like, as though it had once been melted down but it did not have a flat underside); although I never did find a use for it and the antimony eventually vanished (my stepmother probably binned it).
if it is that toxic why he gave it to you?
He may not have fully known about its toxicity; although I did know so I handled it quite gingerly and with my hands protected by a washrag or paper towels.
As a leaving present my chemistry teacher gave me a book about explosives. It’s a great read.
@@WineScrounger Give us the link
Or the name of the book.
Great video as always. What isn't in smart phones these days?
one of the most important use of the antimony is for production of industrial lubricants(oils and greases)
Enjoyed and thumbs up as well
I didnt realise Borat did science videos....but thanks to that I approved liked and subscribed!
Do a video about magnesium
Do a video where you get magnesium metal and experiment so much with it that I now have intuitive feel of it.
thnks for this 😊
Please note that antimony is used in some well known electrical tape. Antimony compounds are used in many insulations for electrical cables as a fire suppressor. And under gamma radiation it's anti-fire properties seem to improve. HOWEVER under neutron radiation some common isotopes of antimony turn radioactive very easily, thus making antimony a bad choice for cable insulation additives for nuclear reactors and high-energy particle accelerators capable of producing neutrons.
How about Fluoroantimonic Acid???
Clayton Benignus I knew I could find this comment :D
I don’t want any 😱
I’d rather not. All you can really do is like...look at it. I wouldn’t even want to be in the same building as that stuff.
czcams.com/video/N3xyICmQHy8/video.html
^^ nvmd, fake.
At 1:30 the old black and white video of that steel Factory is SLOSS FURNACE in downtown Birmingham AL.
it is also used in making of the super acid fluoroantimonic acid
then he should make it
It remains to speak of the excessive use of antimony in the past for the manufacture of medicines, and that Isaac Newton used it to manufacture regulus of antimony. Also the origin of this belief in Ireneus Filalteus (George Starkey) and Robert Boyle. The deaths that it caused and as many chemists thought was the matter of the Philosopher's Stone.
Love ur vids I am a want to be chemist and I am learning a lot from your videos
Is the antimatter version of antimony called "anti-antimony" or just "mony"?
Mony mony! I say yeah yeah yeah....
Antiantimony
Very nice information sir thanx
Thanks Antimony has also been used for molded statues, when mixed with pewter it it shrinks to make a very fine casting, but poisonous as is pewter due to its lead content? some medieval goblets were made of antimony?
I'm a Patrean supporter...and you SHOULD be too. Support this great content
Antimony is heavily used in flame-retardant wiring. However, it should not be used in radiation areas where there is significant neutron radiation because antimony easily becomes radioactive by neutron capture. Hundreds of times more than copper. I think this might apply to proton radiation as well since energetic protons can splash neutrons out of many materials. The nucleus of an antimony atom has a special affinity for neutrons. So do boron and carbon, but after those elements capture a neutron they mostly form stable isotopes.
Antimony: I am the most expensive element there is!
Antimatter: what did you just say?
Oganesson: what did you say?
Antimony is cheap on amazon
keep it up! nice one
Yesssss,me and my son are watching this🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙science
Amazing background music. What is it and who makes it during the most of video?
wonderful info... 😎
I find it quite off putting it’s ubiquitous in Aluminum used for cans. Makes the thin plastic film feel all the more appropriate. Just Mg & P for the ends of the can. Love these videos!
first time i have seen antimony on youtube
Максим , почаще снимай , пожалуйста
Also used for journal bearings Babbitmetal.
amazing........very good
Lead antimony is used for stypeset and for making bullets as well
Я только сегодня нашла твой канал. Я подписался. спасибо за отличное видео. ☺
right now a friend of mine is packaging antimony trioxide. probably move a ton of the stuff after it comes out of the furnace.
Can you explain what is the difference between the explosive form and the standard form ?
Is it due to a particular structure associated to a metastable state ?
Can we created it form the sable form ?
Thanks for your interesting work.
( By the way, all theses useless comments about accent & pronunciation could just be removed ...)
Plutonium 239: hold my beer.
Ah, what is prettier than a blooming flower of antimony?
Make a video on any substance of lanthenides
Antimony---> it comes from ancient greek "contrary to be alone" due to its ability to create compounds with any other elements, so it is rare to find it in its pure form
Amazing...
Long ago small cups of Antimony were made for doctors. If win was allowed to sit overnight in such a cup, it would form Tatar emitic, potassium Antimony tartrate. This is a potent emitic and a few spoonfuls taken by mouth would induce prompt vomiting. I think it is still used in veterinary medicine.
Where did you get the explosive antimony?
Neat!
Can you make an video about moscovium? I know it impossible to get it but an video about it would be nice.
Do a video about magnesium!!
Your accent is addictive.
Antimoine means anti-monk in French, as it was used in "medical" preparation in the alchemy era, and indeed, it killed monks in monasteries.
2:32 That looks like a beryllium sphere from Galaxy Quest.
It looks like metallic broccoli to me lol
Nice 👍🏻
In the staircase line is it a mix of metals, gasses, and non-metals
Una observación, podrias dejar traducción o subtitulos en español, por favor,? Me interesan estos temas pero serian mejor en español...
Antimony is used as ancient religious and medicinal purposes such as eyeliners. They are believed to make our eye lashes thicker and darker.
Also antimony is used to make the strongest acid in the world that is Fluoroantimonic acid (HSbF6)
Cosmetics contained arsenic and other bad stuff. I am not saying that the ones in stores are harmless by any means though. Of course back in those days arsenic was used as a green pigment. Then there was lead paint. There are so many dangerous substances we come across every day and I know there are a lot I don't know about. I noticed you compared antimony to bismuth. Bismuth is also toxic in some ways but not as bad as antimony or other metals.
You can make video about useful alloy
I use antimony trisulphide to make friction primers for Civil War cannons.
You are doing best
Please please do a video on aqua regia !!!!
Can you upload video more often
And if you do the same reaction in the flask but replace the chlorine with fluorine, it will give antimony pentafluoride, one of the needed compounds for the strongest superacid
Replacing the glass flask with a teflon one, too
keep up the good work lol
In the US it has replaced lead used in soldering copper water pipes.
Which elements are used for thermal sensors?
can you make a video about thorium and plutonium
Canal muito bom (traduzir para português)
Did you already do a video about mercury
Many of explosives are semiconductors. Accidence? I like the chemistry. I love to watch It on YT.
Can you make video about Thorium please
Short and sweet
i love ur videos
I need to make a pewter from tin,copper & bismuth. But, how do I mix it ? copper has high melting point. Do I need to heat it to copper melting point ? or should I use copper powder ?
