we are practically lucky to see fluorine on youtube, 20 years ago even senior chemists never saw fluorine in its elemental form
Well that's what happens when you go stealing everyone's electrons
I've worked with Hydrofluoric acid 49%, its a crazy chemical that lets off death clouds. Used in the metal industry, glass etching other industrial uses. This video is interesting and the chemist is a mad man.
Chief Meowmeow i hope you have worn safety clothing :P
@@stevensheng7 self breathing apparatus and chem resistant suit. You can't be afraid be respectful of them for the chemicals show nobody mercy. Sad what mans do e to this earth.
The thing that scares me is the stories of what they did in the rocket industry developing fuels. If you read the book “Ignition!” then you find they used fluorine to stabilise flipping ozone! What a delightfully toxic oxidiser!
This guy could be the first fluorine chemist I've ever seen with a full set of fingers.
ZombieSymmetry lol
A rare breed
“Paid satanist”, takes one to know one, he is a *fluorine chemist* don’t come here and whine about your beliefs.
@Steve Bull Stanfield what
I've experimented with many elements. Fluorine scares me.
The chemistry of fluoride toothpaste at the end was quite cool
Oh no why did design get involved!? aaah
Why is it in our water then !!!!!! it's been proven that fluoride is a neurotoxin !
Filip laskovski He was talking about how fluoride replaces the OH group forming Ca-F. Nothing to do with molecular fluorine or the ingestion of fluorine to affect the brain. Scientific illiteracy is a pain.
what about the effect on the brain?
+Green Morning Study authors believe that there is a “pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity” and fluoride is a contributor. Developmental neurotoxins are linked to increases in autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, loss of IQ points, disruptive behavior, and other cognitive impairments.
I love this scientist presenter. These videos are a great introduction to chemistry.
he needs a haircut
no
That IS his haircut.
That is Sir Martyn Poliakoff and he's a super neat dude (not to mention totally brilliant):

Es kinda funny
Am I missing a joke
I knew the punchline.......still laughed.

I feel bad for the guy who discovered fluorine with his glass beakers...Like superman experimenting with kryptonite without the lead
Fun fact: first five people who attemted making elemntal fluorine died (from fluorine poisoning) as a result.

Thank you for this video. As a chemistry teacher, it is a real treat to show this to my students. I could never have imagined the same for myself back in high school.
@elflordbob1 Why are barium, curium and helium called the medical elements?
Because if you can't curium or helium you barium
8 years on and still underrated
Boooo

I don't understand. Please explain
@@abhaychandra2624 this comment was SEVEN YEARS ago.. Even I don't remember the context anymore 😂
@@sohamdixit_ 🤣yeah
@@abhaychandra2624 Fluorine is very reactive. Like EXTREMELY reactive, and wants electrons. Francium is also reactive but wants to give electrons, instead of gaining them.
It's so awesome they showed it reacting with iodine. I wish they would do an episode on interhalogen reactions. For some reason it just seems cool to me.
@Muckin 4on It’s just that element that never really reacts with anything, but hangs out with a bunch of reactive weirdos, some call it “iodine”.
@Muckin 4on I mean of you did that and inhaled them, your voice would be slightly deeper and you would be gasping for air. Nothing would really happen, it’s like mixing the air with itself.
In terms of interhalogen reactions, it would be cool if they did chlorine trifluoride. That stuff is even more reactive and dangerous than elemental fluorine. The Nazis wanted to use it as a combined incendiary weapon and poison gas, but they never could make enough of it.
@@NuisanceMan i read the wikipedia article, "It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers" really says it all
It’s symbol is f to pay respects to all the people who’ve had to work with that stuff

Fluorine can also 'oxidise' oxygen, the only element which can. Oxygen itself is a vicious element already, easily oxidises chlorine, right the way to perchlorate.
@@Paonporteur You are incorrect my friend. There is an entire series of halogen oxides (excluding fluorine). For example chlorine dioxide used to disinfect water, and also corresponding chlorine oxyacids and ionic compounds of them, for example perchloric acid and potassium perchlorate.
And, there is a series of oxygen fluorides, for example dioxygen difluoride.
Also take a look at compounds like perchloryl fluoride and nitryl fluoride for even more wackiness.
A simple look at the Periodic Table will explain what is and isn't possible in terms of what can oxidise what.
I think you are talking about 02, dioxygen, which is already reacted - with itself, as I mentioned in my first comment.
@@andygrove285 Things doesn't work this simple Just because a compound exists it doesn't mean you can synthesize it from its constituent elements. For example Ag2O, Au2O3 and HgO all exists, but still, you can't make them by burning the corresponding metal. The same is true for a lot of halogene oxides. (Also F2 only reacts with O2 using an electric discharge, so I wouldn't call it a simple oxidation.) Also checking the ptable for electronegativities won't tell you everything about an element's reactivity.
@@hungarianheroes What are you talking about? Can fluorine oxidise oxygen? The answer is yes. Can oxygen oxidise halogens, except fluorine - again yes. Please take time to read my comments. I said nothing about direct synthesis or any method of preparation. Furthermore, you are considering molecular dioxgen, so your logic is flawed anyway.
It seems yourself and our friend @Sweet bromine are considering oxidation in layman's terms, meaning like element/compound X reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide. In chemistry terms, oxidation is the process whereby an atom, ion or molecule loses electrons. Fluorine can pull an electron from just about any other element, even oxygen. Oxygen can pull electrons from just about any other element, except fluorine. There may be other bizarre cases, such as excimers or something, but, at STP it's generally true. Of course, the noble gases are extremely difficult, or impossible to oxidise due to their electronic stability. However, xenon fluorides do exist for example.
@@andygrove285 From your original comment: "Oxygen itself is a vicious element already, " - looks like you as well meant elemental oxygen. After that it was normal from sweetbromine and myself to assume that you really ARE talking about dioxygen. And thanks, I was not in need of this additional explanation about how redox reactions work.
@@hungarianheroes It's pretty clear what I meant when I mentioned perchlorate. If yourself and sweetbromine tend to take the naive view of that, it's not really my fault. And, once again, it seems pretty clear that both yourself and sweetbromine are considering plain, chemistry 101 reactions with molecular oxygen which is itself a compound. In any case, I hope the situation is now clear.
When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️
It's amazing such a highly reactive element makes exceptionally inert materials such as fluoropolymers (e.g. Teflon).
Or SF6!
Um... as a non-chemist (but remembering my material science classes) I'd say their ambition to bond (with basically anything) is the very reason that they can't "let go", thus creating very stable = inert molecules.
The flouride bond is so damn strong that it takes incredible energy to separate it. It would be like trying to pull apart 2 strong magnet.
Fluorine does NOT like to share.
@@FarhanAmin1994 That's only kinetically stable.
I would love for an update on fluorine. It's such an interesting element with many potential uses and dangers!
Thanks for all you do.
2:51 i thought you took some of the professor's hair and burnt it hahhahahha so funny
This is probably one of the best videos. So many fun things you can do with fluorine.
I would be very interested to know how fluorine would react with:-
a) Water (i.e, does water burst into flame?)
b) Chlorine
c) Nitrogen (i.e, will fluorine combine directly with N2?)
Many thanks. I think fluorine chemistry is so fascinating! Thanks for making this excellent video!
With water it forms HF, with chlorine it forms various chlorine fluorides, and with nitrogen it forms nitrogen trifluoride
This guy didn't change a bit in the last 11 years.
When I studied chemistry I would have loved to see liquid Fluorine, or its reaction with various things. This one is a highlight of periodic videos.
1:16 Haha, the fluorine gas he can't see is inside tubing that's made from a fluorinated polymer that he can see. It's interesting that Teflon, FEP & PFA are the best plastics for chemically inert tubing;they're all fluorinated polymers formulated with the most reactive element. Go figure!
Wouldn't it make sense that the most reactive elements give the most stable (inert) compounds? :)
Miikka Silfverberg Yes, but the first impression seems ironic or counter-intuitive unless one knows about chemistry. I'm a retired engineer whose last project was to re-design a specialized electroplating instrument that was being destroyed by a wide variety of very harsh chemistry used for electroplating several metals, including platinum, gold, iridium, nickel, zinc, titanium & others. The project was challenging because nearly all the working parts, including high & low voltage electronics, structures, containers, valves, pressure/vacuum controls, which had to be replaced with mostly teflon-coated components, platinum or 316 stainless. Then, there were gobs of tubing & fittings to replace (all FEP, PEEK or teflon). Chemistry run through it included concentrated acids & bases at both ends of the PH scale, bleach, hydrogen peroxide and piranha. Lots of pricey, specialized labware were required. Although I had worked with many chemists for decades, that final project really got me thinking about & researching inert materials. Chemistry was never my strong suit, so it was an education for me.
Generally, I've got to say that automating chemistry processes was very interesting work, and direly needed to keep PhD lab-rats from becoming disenchanted with the tedium in their lab work. I'd recommend to engineering students that they get a good dose of chemistry & really learn it well because the demand for engineers will focus in that professional arena and other scientific endeavors involving chemistry as part of a process. Increasingly, engineering is becoming mostly scientific.

I'm absoutely not competent to discuss this matter :) but that sounds interesting! Do you know of any articles that someone with a high school background in chemistry can understand? I read an article on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenhancer) but that seemed a bit sketchy. Maybe you meant something else?
*****
Thank you! :) I found this very interesting! Cool that changing one atom can have such an effect! Nevertheless, this was not an easy read with my chemistry background... So what I'm going to say may be total garbage :D
As far as I could understand, they present several reasons why fluorination could be useful in increasing bio-availability. Stability is one of them. In Section 2, they seem to explain how increased stability of the fluorinated compounds increases bio-availability: it makes them more resistant to metabolic enzymes and thus more likely to reach the site where they can be medically active.
However, as far as I understood, they also say fluorination can modify the basicity or acidity of parts of the compound, increase binding affinity to proteins and change the form of the compound (or rather the preference between different isomers of the molecule). A lot of factors besides stability are at play apparently! Both properties of fluorine itself and properties of the target protein factor in. The combination of biology and chemistry is really interesting! Though it also seems quite tricky :)
+SIMKINETICS The teflon tape you might need to seal a leak in a pipe thread is probably the single safest chemical substance in your house. Even more so than water.
I loved the reaction of fluorine and the sulfur. It looked like platinum fire.
Fluorine just wants to pay respects
Kudos to the guy who named the calcium compound in our teeth apatite... Love it!
+Legoformerguy Actually, it wasn't named for that reason. Apaptite is also found in (non-biological) nature as a rock. Apparently it is mistaken for other rocks so some guy named it after a greek word for "misleading". It's ironic though.
+Ellimist000 still one of the most awesome coincidences ever, in my opinion :)

Wow, I have always been fascinated by #9 on the Table, but never seen it in action. These guys keep just getting better and better. Thank you for doing that!

@BeAnBeAn22 Hi, this is all explained at the end of the video.
That was a great video and I loved the fact that Geology was brought into the discussion at the end with the talk about Apatite. Keep these videos coming I love watching all of them and some times go back and rewatch them more than twice.
Thank you guys so much for making your videos. They are all very interesting. Keep up the awesome work :-)
Oxygen: look! I’m the most reactive element!
Fluorine: say sike right now
Lol, not even top 5
@@potatoboy549 The only reason oxygen isn't that reactive is because in it form O2, it is actually pretty stable.
Now, took oxygen in other form, and all of them are extremely reactive. For example : O3, HClO, NaClO,etc. HClO--> HCl + O, and the O atom are extremely reactive, maybe (nearly) as reactive as flourine.
Well, if every element was in its atomic form they would be quite reactive. For example Nitrogen is extremely tame but in atomic form it would tear everything apart. Not just oxygen. But if that happened, fluorine would still be on top and all the halogens would be leads more reactive than oxygen.

@@SuperBroncosguy I, too, laugh on the floor laughing.
He blinded me with science!
it would be really cool to have a "fluorine lighter". the fuel is yellow, it ignites anything even if its raining, it burns tru metal, no flame... the difficult thing would be recharging it and maybe using it without blowing up in the attempt xD.
also 5:04 that should smelled horrible, am I right?
Pure fluorine, along with most other elements, is difficult to get. Also, fluorine would probably react with all the chemicals in the lighter. Other than the expense and reactivity, that would work.
***** *Serious everything problems
I don't think you'd wanna use that in rain...unless you want hydrofluoric acid burns..
It was only a "joke", I know that it would have lots of dangers making it useless don't be all like sheldon cooper please xD

Braver folks than I am, doing these reactions outside of a fume hood.
That was my first thought: I'd be wearing 50 lbs of protection AND have the stuff in a roaring fume hood.
Maybe it reacts with the air long before it gets to your face, but the reaction products can't be innocuous either.

this is all very fascinating. Its getting late at the time of my watching this, and i cant stop!
Kinda scary that he says "most chemists are afraid to work with fluorine" when there a chemists and physicists are literally blowing atoms together at hyper-sonic speeds to create new elements all the time.
Stupidly radioactive and or toxic or otherwise highly dangerous elements and chemicals, no less.

that's the thing, it reacts with almost anything, to store it you have coat the container with Teflon cause that's one of the few things that it doesn't react with.

The acid that dissolves enamel usually comes from bacteria (whose growth is promoted by sugar) growing in the mouth, not usually from food itself.
What a terrific element! It's truly emotional for me to see this video of such an amazing element as Fluorine.
Absolutely superb! What a wonderful element!
What is the clear tube that the flourine flows through made of? Is that sapphire? Sounds like there isn't much it won't react with, but the tube is clear! For that matter, what is the opaque tube later on made of? And what about the storage tanks? Maybe some kind of special lining with a standard metal tank on the outside? I'm curious!
drjonez Pretty sure the tanks are nickel but idk about the others. Probably the opaque tube also.
He says at around 4:15 that it does not attack glass, so that would be an oblivious solution (although the tube seems to be a bit flexible for me).

***** You're right, I'll not only not die, I'll have better teeth
its not poisonous in that itll kill you, more that it damages a part of your body and it is true you probably wouldnt notice anything because its a part of the body thats already atrophied in most people
Jake Halford Fluorine is a neurotoxin that slowly erodes your central nervous system. I think quality of life is just fancy nonsense to you huh bud...lol

You folks kept my interest in Chemistry high while I took my required chemistry for my Engineering major, and I continue to become more and more interested in chemistry as I keep track of your videos. Thank you very much, and keep it up!
This was 10 years ago. How did that major go?
What a cool element! Thank you!
Flourine: React with ALL the things!
Do these fluoride compounds enter the blood supply when ingested (like tin fluoride or whichever type of fluoride is added to some water supplies). If so, is it possible that ingesting fluoride compounds could become dangerous when these compounds come into contact with reactive intermediates especially during the normal metabolic process? Such as reactive oxygen species or other radical species? I used fluvoxamine, a fluorine containing anti depressant for a little while so i know fluorine is a great enzyme de- activator.
It was much more exciting than I thought! You could see the flames
Very nice explanation.Thanks a lot.
This man looks like science
it even reacts with the other noble gases? how?
+jcoronet2000 Fluorine is so desperate to fill its outer shell that it'll take any electron it can get. If I understand correctly, the larger noble gases aren't quite so desperate to hang onto their outer shells because of the greater distance to the nucleus.
+WashashoreProd that is a wonderful answer, thank you.
Because of fluorine' high electronegativity it even reacts with He,Ne but you need so much energy to start the reaction
+rajesh shahi rajesh shahi It doesn't react with He, Ne. Though it does react with Ar Xe
+Himanshu Patel
It will react with He and Ne at extremely high energies.
The Iodine - Fluorine reaction was genuinely beautiful
You remind me of very much my grandfather who was a Lithuanian Chemist for the CSIRO in Australia. I wish I took up chemistry as opposed to the medical field. It’s an immensely interesting field to me and I love all your videos. Thank you and you ever know I may well switch fields 😂
now i want the bunch of you to get some cesium and put it juuust in front of the nozle so it gets the best feel for the flourine, then i'll watch from a two mile distance.

They drop alkaline metals into water. How about sodium metal having this flourine rig hit a target of caesium or potassium instead of steel wool or sulphur?
The Royal Institution posted a video of CsF being produced.
Brilliant demos!
Thank you for that! That was quite interesting. I'd would really like to see and hear more about fluorine chemistry since it is one of those areas that I left unexplored.
FOOF
Here I was thinking that oxygen was the best element to use for oxygenation. Fluorine is so much better.
I think you meant "oxidation"...
And, if that's the case, check out krypton difluoride (KrF2)
Now that's an oxidiser!
What a highly informative video very much well detailed you have truly gave us a mouthful.
The epitome of a chemist this guy is, great video!
Utmost fascinating, a new thing to add to my practical knowledge, go ahead with teaching us, gentlemen, these videos are fantastic!
This is awesome guys. I enjoy your work.
Thank you for this video because for the first time I saw liquid fluorine gas and learned interesting informations about the flourine element. Congratulations !
Probably the most interesting periodicvideo yet, well done :)

Brlliant as always!
The explanation with flouride was great. I never knew that.
the way that professor talks, it cracks me up
Thank you.
I worked with HF as a young chemist. I still have all my fingers.
Very cool, I never knew the mechanism of action between sodium fluoride and my teeth before. Luv these videos
Damn. We learned a bit of fluorine chemistry in our inorganic class but this really puts just how reactive it is in perspective.
I had HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) training this week.
When we got on the subject of corrosives, I mentioned your fluorine video. The instructor is familiar with your work, but had not seen this video. The next day, we saw the video in class. :)
Love these videos
I am so happy to see this!
I had a junked excimer laser that was being scrapped for parts/metal and when I found out they use fluorine in them I was scared to take it apart. Thankfully it was empty, but this video helps illustrate why I wasn't wanting to mess with it. I feel vindicated!
I never knew how fluoride worked to slow down tooth decay. I have learned something new today.
That being said - I cannot stop watching your hand motions during the interview segments.
Love this Video ❤️
wow.. 1962.. I have no reason that i didn't know of Xe bonding with F2, F4, and F6.. Thank you for replying. This stuff never ceases to amaze me. Thanks again.
Sometimes these videos teach me so much! This time -> all about cold Fluorine burning stuff! And only being safely stored in Nickel. And something that will no doubt come up in some quiz or something (I paused half way for a few minutes to google) -> Apatite is from Greek and means 'deceive' and Appetite is from Latin and means 'desire' (for food). Thankyou.
ALL this wonderful information was on CZcams?! I could have easily studied for chemistry class, but NOOO I had to do it without this series . . . How Did I not even think about looking on CZcams. . . . ):< Shamed
