Thank you, this helped me with studying for my periodic table test. <3. I will edit this comment saying how many marks I got when I find out!

[vijayalakshmi.kvijayalaksh]

Wonderful and a clear explanation. It made me to understand everything clearly. Thanking u for this uploadence of video. The language that used in this video made a clearance of the topic.

This videos of properties had helped me a lot

i got 76.5 in chemistry out of 80

[aryanchavan]

Thanks helped a lot in my exam last week when i saw and i aced my board exams and got 95 in the test
Thank you so much

[toviduker]

Who was sent here by their chemistry teacher?

[AhmedMohammed-smyw]

plz make a vid for transition elements i need in my exam for tmw plz 
ps. i really admire your work and i love ur vids i showed the to my teacher he gave me plus 5 thanks
*TRANSITION ELEMENTS* QUICK PLZZZZ

[mubaz]

Whose teacher sent him to watch this video during Science online class

[ruthlawrence]

Would u mind explaining some entities like
Why magnesium is not stored in oil
Why the melting/boiling point decrease
Please

[joshua]

Thanks this really helped me with my homework :)

[goonxstize]

Thank you I've recently started to seek knowledge. And this is knowledge that I need.

[Aishi]

Why is magnesium not stored in oil when it is highly reactive with oxygen in the air?

[akshadachoudhary]

It's was perfect, you teach us very well

[ybr]

Why is calcium softer while it’s density is higher than magnesium

[its_eeshita]

0:48 Why have you said that beryllium is an exception in losing two electrons? The electronic configuration of beryllium is 2, 2 and it will also lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable state. Please answer!

[nursamihamahbub]

1:26 what do you mean by "shiny and silver', I know that silver is an element, and if I'm not wrong, are trying to say "Shiny and like Silver". Please, do let me know.
Thank you!

1:43 can we use our hands to hold the Magnesium strip?

[neptunium-]

also transition metals and lanthanides and actinides!

[scintilla]

Why does the Mg has lower melting and boiling point than Be and also other elements of the group??
