Carbon - Periodic Table of Videos

[madmady]

I just realised that his tie is the periodic table, I adore this man so much! This whole series is so informative and wholesome I want to cry with joy!

[uttarachousalkar]

absolutely LOVE these videos.. they always help me before my science exams. these concepts get clear because you can visualize it with the help of these videos

[sketchesofpayne]

This video has blown my mind! I had no idea carbon could form so many different structures.

Graphite+tape=Nobel Prize for Physics.

I cannot thank you enough for this video. You are the first of about five videos that I've watched that explained carbon in a manner that was attainable thorough simplistic and helpful.

[paulpaulsen]

If they made videos one hour for each element, I would also watch all of them. Since I was a child I always wanted to know everything about elements and their chemistry. Totally fascinating

[TomcatModelKits]

Carbon is probably my favourite simply due to the sheer variety of compounds you can make with it. Also, drawing organic compound is fun.

cool!

Carbon: "And this isn't even my final form...!"

Thank you for these discussions. It's a real opportunity to get some chemistry lessons and experiments when taking courses isn't an option.

From what I remember from a brief attempt at chemistry, one of the funny things of buckyballs/fullerenes was that adding a group to one point of the ball, changed the energy (and usually making it easier) to add the group to the next position. Basically you got only a few products, all 60 positions reacted, or none at all. (or slightly less when there was steric hindrance)

6:25 Does that imply that no material that's clear (due to the electrons being tightly bound) can ever be a decent conductor of electricity?

[Adrenalinism]

These videos are so concise and explain everything so well that it blows my mind every time i watch one.

Thanks for having captions for the Deaf.

[teeconsigliano]

Thanks for all of your videos! I don't know if I would have gotten an A in Chemistry if I had you as a teacher but I definitely would have learned more!

[iLOVEpalestineNlebanonFOREVER]

These videos are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to make a video for each element and not just one for the whole PT. It's super interesting and I'm really inspired by your dedication!

[BlueBoy]

The train-truck analogy made things really clear, thanks for that!

[Kaishk]

Really like the videos! I'm an undergraduate Computer Science student, but still love these videos! They spark my imagination and make me want to take a few Chemistry classes! I often think of Chemistry as the study of programming nature, and got to thinking about it, and was wondering how a Chemist thinks of Computer Science?

[iLOVEpalestineNlebanonFOREVER]

My favourite part of chemistry is naming organic compounds. I find that very fun!

Interesting video on Carbon.. What a coincidence I happened to see this today! Only yesterday I was teaching a local school children on Carbon different forms as per their curriculum. Nothing will make the topic clearer than seeing this video!1 Today ia hope to show this to them. Great work by Martyn to young generations, possible future Noble Laureattes.
