Hi everyone! In this video I am going to tell you about silicon, which can definitely be called the smartest element on earth because no calculations that modern day devices do would have been possible without this metalloid.

'Women achieve great shapes' - I died. lolol
Xd
Hahaha
LOL, i lost it a that part. Hooray for science!
13:27 for those wondering
Made my first silicon in high school in 1967 by reducing molten quartz with aluminum. Poly crystalline , not amorphous. I then used it to make a copper silicon alloy which was quite pretty and good to machine. Pity I didn’t make the copper or aluminum from rocks, but it was fun and instructive. The silicon looked just like the polycrystalline chips you show. Thanks for this great video!
Why didnt he use that method if its pure elemental silicon...
Dude how old are you
72 now. I doubt very much if my silicon was very pure. There was a point where you could tell the aluminum was used up, and by that time, the pool of molten quartz was hot enough to boil off any remaining aluminum. The arc carbons I used to melt with, had copper exterior, and I expect the carbon itself may have been doped with something. Besides that the quartz was unlikely to be pure silica. I didn’t feel bad though, since the really pure stuff is made by zone refining. It was fine for alloying though.
"Some women would not be able to achieve great shapes and success"
I see what you did there. ;)
Privet comrades, please do a video on rare earth materials, please?

Some women even have a higher percentage of silicon than of carbon in their bodies.
@@rothsshvili5125 привет комрады xD
I was going to say the same thing.
You produce such perfect videos. You choose excellent experiments, and your writing, filming, narration and editing are beyond anyone else on CZcams. I learn something from every one of your videos. You have a unique voice and a nice accent that really adds depth to your videos. Thanks for all your efforts.
Dude makes a joke... Sounds both funny and serious
Brave man : "Some women would not be able to achieve great shapes and success" :)
Not 'some women', but 'some womans'.
Well, they need those seeleecon ate-ums for great shapes, duh.
After seeing your video, I am sure the name of your pet is Silicat, isn't? 🤣
No, the cat's name is Непереведенные.
@@medexamtoolsdotcom _No, the Kritty Krat's name is Phenolic-Pheline. xD_
@@medexamtoolsdotcom which is Russian for Silicat. LOL
Wonderful expose of silicon. Excellent filming. For oxygen being the most abundant element it's amazing that 'free' oxygen gas is predominantly produced by the process of photosynthesis.
its mostly in the ocean, the o2 in the atmosphere is thinner comparatively than the skin of an apple.
Is nitrogen so abundant to be a forgotten element?
@@alanmcnaughton3628 Amino acids and proteins- very diverse in function.
"Great shapes and success" aww man.... I think someone needs some Antarctica.... 'coz they just got burnt...
There's so many great demonstrations and lots of good info in this one. Thanks Thoisoi!
13:29 some woman would not achieve great shape and success without this was savage
@4:09 At first I was thinking: "Why a photo of Al Pacino in Scarface?"..... then I heard your voice mentioning coke...... :-)
Very nice video. Loved the camera too! Great work, as always.
Very good video!!!!! I wish there were more channels like yours!!!!
Cheers to the Patreons, appreciate these vids
Aww, you forgot one fascinating fact. Like Water, Silicon expands when it freezes, so solid Silicon floats on liquid Silicon, just like Water Ice floats on liquid Water.
Thank you for your work, well done.
chemistry is literally why i don’t be late for schools
Glad to see you. Your accent remains very cool, I think those who complain about your accent or have a negative idea, can please refrain from mentioning it at all. Other than positivity, I don’t see anything that deserves to be commented bad on. This man has enough knowledge to make you get lost in your false delusional hallucinations, whether it imposes any criticism and/or unnecessary comments. Basically try to learn from him if possible:) The genius puts very much effort to do what he’s doing, if you do not appreciate the positive knowledge that he provides us with, then get a translator or enable subtitles, whatever. Find a solution, because there’s only 1 of his kind and you know it, otherwise you wouldn’t even proceed with the thought of sharing meaninglessness.
Silicon polymers are also used for very flexible and heat resistant wire insulation, and other heavy duty tubing. It is also used as a flexible heat conductor in some low power applications, often called thermal pads.
One of the most important applications of silicon itself is in alloys, it is very commonly used in Aluminium and cast iron alloys, to change its properties, and is especially useful in aluminium castings, to make grain structure more fine. But even in other aluminium alloys it is used to improve machinability and strength. The Silicon Aluminium alloys are extremely popular in automotive and aerospace industry. Some can contain very big amounts of Silicon.
Silicon carbide (SiC) was also used to make greenish-yellow LEDs in the early-1970s and blue LEDs in the early-1990s. :-)
Thank you for another excellent video!
wow!!silicone is an amazing substance!!!! great videos !!! very interesting,very difficult to stop watching this!!!thank you
That’s awesome, I learn more from this video than I did in school, great job 👏
My man casually roasting implants 13:30 while providing incredible amounts of free knowledge😂👏
I thought "Why is their footage of Al Pacino as Tony Montana in the movie Scarface?" Then you mentioned coke 😆 I adore your sense of humour 😊
Love your channel keep up the good work
Your accent is amazing dude and your chemistry content too please please don't change them ever
I'm not sure to like his accent that much since I don't understand everything he saying but I still like to watch his videos.
very gud accent doesn't it
@@warker6186 yeah,
@@Reth_Hard now I am habituated to his accent and I can understand whatever he speaks.......
@@supercars2275
But I speak mainly french (Canada) and just five years ago I couldn't even watch a youtube videos without subtitles.
Now I don't need any sub to understand english videos.
Sometimes I'm struggling a bit with the British or Australian accent, but this guy here... he's on an other level... :P
Not a chemistry student, but love watching these videos.
Thanks for sharing thoisoi..i am waiting ur new great video..ur video is amazing.
This channel is awesome!🙌
I love this channel because in the beginning where it shows the caution it also plays the half life 2 alarm when Morgan Freeman walks out into the court yard and the npc walks out and is like "wow they sure are stirred up about something, never seen them in full alert before", or some shit like that, and the city voice is saying "Citizen notice. Failure to co-operate will result in permanent off-world relocation". Good times...
I watched some of your videos on radioactive materials because they are my favourite, but have learned way more from what I thought would be a boring video on silicon! Subbed!
Wow excellent informative video 😀
Great video, great title!
😎👍
I didn't know that Silicon and Silicone were related. Thanks for that.
Thank you for post this video! 😃👍
I've the lucky to have one crystal quartz almost exactly like that of the minute 0:35 😊
too bad for the video encoding errors but very informative on some part of the subject usually left out! (like how hard it is to refine!)
Loved the video
Is it just me or is anyone else after listening to this speakers voice for long periods hearing his voice when thinking to yourself too.
Why wasn't high school chemistry just a bunch of Thoisoi videos?
13:33 precision
Great video 👍👍👍
Another quality video. 🏅
Silicon's achievements: Computers and abspestos
this channel amazing
Fascinating element!
"women would not be able to achieve great body shapes and success" nice subtle calling-out, i giggled
Spruce Pine North Carolina...you can thank those folks for the best in the world. Was there the other day.
First youtuber to correctly pronounce Czochralski process :)
Really awesome and useful and helpful video, silicon is very important part of human life.
I think Carbon is more important for human like.
Silicon is my second favorite element, thanks for this surprise :)
The first being Titanium.
Nerd
My favorite element is bismuth
An ze chibs iz moutet ❤ Starting to prefer videos here as both more basic details and somehow the charming humorous dialect is somehow both casual catchy and didactive
Thank you :D
"This may come as a surprise but there is an abundance of silicon on our planet"
I like the video very informative :) How about a science video of your cat :)
Great as usual.
Lesson: 'a substance such as...', not 'such a substance as...'
Is this the 21-century new alchemist guide channel?
Your channel has Truly solid stuff... Now a days you tube is full of fake and useless valgur videos
Hello, I would like to ask a question and I hope you can answer or someone who knows about the studies they take to work with materials like that. What are the studies you took to have a job like this or as you show, I have an idea but I would like to know more in detail. Since I'm about to study that but I would like to know more because it catches my attention.
One funny silicon compound is silicon tetrachloride, which is a liquid producing SiO2 on contact with water. It's volatile and visibly reacts with air moisture.
You are amazing
Where did you buy the etched polycristalin silicon metal block? Thanks
The mineral at 1:49 is actually labradorite and not opal, but it is still a silicate.
What is silica?
Well, it's silicon.
What is silicon?
Well, it's silicate.
They tricked a rock into thinking.
is it possible then to take silicone sealant and convert it into the metal form through some sort of chemical process?
I remember my dad telling me about massive quartz crystals that were lead mine tailings in Joplin, Missouri. Being the 70's, him and his friends of course smashed them to smithereens. He said they were the size of Volkswagen Beetles... I wish I could have seen them. Minus the lead contamination of course...
So Si (silicon) was used to redefinition the SI(the International system of units). 14:37 the seven SI base unit is kilogram(kg), metre(m), second(s), ampere(A), kelvin(K), mole(mol), and candela(cd)
One interesting niche is talking about gems, minerals and how to process them to obtain valuable products. Consider that matter, please!
The yellowish hue of the quartz-bearing sand is due to iron compounds.
Whats the object in your display image? Lol
@@youvegottabefknkidding4337 Genthelvite, Be3Zn4(SiO4)3S (:
Cool flat triangle formations
@@youvegottabefknkidding4337 Thanks (: It is from Mount Saint-Hilaire, Ontario, where a lot of well-crystallized and rare minerals are found. Interestingly, although from this angle it indeed looks like triangular, the crystals are actually tetragonal pyramids (there is a 4-fold axis mainly ruling these crystals geometry)
My uncle is a professor at Cornell, he says we will outgrow silicone in the near future. Silicone can only handle so much processing speed
Will you ever make a video about silver?
Thanks sir
Haha great shapes and success
Thanks
Privet comrades, please do a video on rare earth materials, please?
There’s always a place for cat footage 😻😻😻
I hope my brain contains some silicon
Is your glass vial with the silica/magnesium reaction pyrex? It looks like it was melting and silica wouldn't do that.
5:10 aluminium is not a transition metal
im wondering why the hell should i go to school when there is something named youtube and these vids
The shapes must be great 😂 😂 😂
I wish u make a video about Og the last element in Noble gases
That would be verz boring.
11:37 SCRATCHES AT LEVEL 9 WITH DEEPER GROOVES AT LEVEL 10!!!
😂jerry

So this is what smart kids in my class eat
Time to start eating silicon :)
Gorilla Glass is as hard as any other glass. The only difference is that it is harder to shatter because it can flex more.
I have a question, that maybe you can answer with a video. it would be interesting to know all the different elements that can be found in the human body and their corresponding percentages. I was surprised to see that molybdenum is used in cells. What other unique elements can be found in living organism that perform a function
I have had the same thought, I was coming from the fact God made us from the "dust" of the earth. Dust or finest particles /individual atoms.
As I imagine our creator gave himself all the necessary elements and being the obvious master chemist, mechanical and electrical engineer, and creator of life from those elements that he was, it would be good to know every element we are made from.
I wish you could have been my Chemistry teacher when I was a kid.. I would have passed by an A++! 😄
i got lot of information from this video
Can you explain or talk about Ununpentium or Moscoviu?
1:04 damn man and i was doing in my childhood with my backyard stone.
Excuse me 9:17 - Einsteins Nobel prize :D
nice
Wow!
Thx.
Wrong type of coke Thoisoi! 🤣
Good
0:57 can it also be known as PiezoElectricity?
You even created a cheetah @ 6:02
Question: What is oil? Element or Mineral?
Crude oil is a compound of usually many elements like hydrogen and carbon.
cool
