Most Deadly Elements On Earth

You've all studied the periodic table in school, but we are sure you're teachers never talked about elements like this! In today's educational animated cartoon we are taking a different look at some elements to see how long they would take to end you.

I like to phrase it as: The difference between a drug and a poison is the dose. Several drugs have a lower lethal dose than effective dose, I.e. digoxin. The idea is that if you take it when you're having a heart attack (if dr thinks it is appropriate in ur case) it might help you live, but without it you'll die anyway, so why not give it a whirl?

I went to school in Mexico, the chemistry teacher had mercury on his lab. He took it out and put it on his hand and all the students passed around. We did a few experiments without using gloves. A year later moved to the US and on my chemistry lab class they also had mercury, teacher said it was very dangerous, it make me laugh that in one country we used to play with it and on another we were not allowed to even see it.

" Mad as a hatter. "
For those who don't know the saying doesn't originate from Alice in Wonderland. Back in the day hatters used mercury on the regular while doing their trade, and we all know by now what mercury does the human brain. Hence the term mad as a hatter.

So if scientists were able to find a way to artificially mass produce Francium, could it be used to make the... F Bomb?

[@jamescodyjones]

Even if they did it would be the Fr bomb. Fluorine is F and Francium is Fr.

[@BTG077]

A flourine bomb would be unpredictable. Since flourine is a halogen, and all halogens are super reactive, that would be a horrible bomb to detonate.

[@jetnyan2348]

it wouldnt be useful for a nuclear bomb as francium has a low half life meaning most of it would decay before detonation+in a nuclear reaction you generally want heavier elements with higher half-lives, such as pu-239

In 1987 here in Brazil an abandoned x ray machine was sold as scrap metal, people disassembled the machine and saw one glowing blue dust and thought that was pretty, many people from a family shared that dust, but them they started to feel sick, one woman went to a hospital ask what was that dust, was cesium 137. Many people from died because this accident and still the worst radioactive accident in Brazil, just because the last element on this video I remembered that story.

[@z3r0_35]

I’d throw in Flourine as an honorable mention. It’s next to impossible to store and even harder to isolate from other elements. There’s a reason why the scientists involved in its discovery that died for their work came to be called the Flourine Martyrs.

Teachers told me it was dangerous and be careful with it and don't break it if possible, because it would make them have to evacuate everyone from the room. So i did what I had to do as a hero! My hand was slippery with even the gloves on due to we were measuring the boiling point with oil of [forgot name] and when i was about to set up the thermometer for the next task it slipped out of my hand... but it landed in water and it was neutralized so no evacuation needed, the end.
Tldr:i broke a mercury thermometer without causing big problem and i was considered the luckiest unlucky guy.(everytime i messed up anything it was a lucky mess up because it was either reversible or neutralized as danger.)
