Description:

A periodic table can help you figure out which elements have chemistry. Today's video will teach you all about how periodic tables are organized and what different placements and numbers say about each element. Make sure to take a look before playing matchmaker.

Thank you We sneak Uh your house has been picked

00:06

up by a tornado for the fourth time this week

00:09

knowing once it lands you step outside Only this time

00:13

there are no which feet sticking up from underneath your

00:16

kitchen and no yellow brick road either Instead you see

00:19

bricks of nearly every color in the rainbow It appears

00:23

you've landed on a giant periodic table in the mystical

00:27

land of the elements We'll as you wander about stable

00:30

your guided by a bunch of friendly men chickens Well

00:34

as you go they instruct you on the many wonders

00:37

of the table hooking you up with vital vocab along

00:40

the way Well the first mention explained to you that

00:43

every item in the table represents an element iii a

00:47

substance that can't be broken down into any simpler substance

00:51

You tell him you already knew that which appears to

00:53

burn amount Major league from the second mention then points

00:57

out the atomic number of a few elements explaining that

01:01

this number indicates the number of protons in a given

01:04

element Well you already knew this too But this time

01:06

at least you have the good sense to keep your

01:08

trap shut about my things The third mention tells you

01:12

about chemical symbols the one or two letter abbreviations of

01:16

each element They're basically the l o l a n

01:19

o m g of the periodic table so everyone concerned

01:22

much hipper when talking about him Well the fourth mention

01:25

points out the atomic weight of a couple elements explaining

01:29

that this number indicates the mass of a single atom

01:32

of any given element The fifth mention blows your mind

01:36

a bit by pulling the word period isett e out

01:39

of his brightly colored knickers while period iss ippi he

01:42

says has to do with the elements that share similarities

01:46

with other elements and tend to a line up with

01:49

them in columns He also tells you that the rose

01:52

of the periodic table are called period's The sixth mention

01:57

mentions that the columns of the periodic table are called

02:00

groups or families seven minutes can enlightens you about atomic

02:06

orbital's Yeah these orbital's spd and f are the areas

02:10

around An atom where electrons can be found mention tells

02:13

you that every element in a given period has the

02:15

same number of atomic orbital's which helps explain why they're

02:19

grouped together Well the eighth mention goes a bit over

02:22

your head with her description of violence Electrons you know

02:26

she starts going on and on about how these air

02:28

the electrons that are located in the last or outer

02:31

energy shell of an adam But it's been a while

02:33

since you ate or slept And be honest you're losing

02:36

interest goodbye Well good thing the ninth mansion is so

02:39

high and energy this one is totally pumped to tell

02:42

you all about blocks Aii those four main shaded areas

02:46

called s block d block b block and f la

02:49

Well despite the fact that this tour is beginning to

02:51

feel like a punishment these air not wings of a

02:54

maximum security prison Instead they're groupings of elements based on

02:57

similar atomic orbital types and can indicate what energy level

03:01

you find an element's highest energy electron You couldn't be

03:05

making it more obvious that you're over it but no

03:08

one seems to notice the tenth mench Khun points out

03:11

main group elements and transition elements and the eleven shows

03:15

you where to find metals non metals and metal lloyds

03:18

and still none of these little jerks are able to

03:20

point you in the direction of the spot Okay so

03:23

you've learned quite a bit about periodic table So it's

03:25

Not for nothing But if you ever have to listen

03:27

to another mention chatter on and on about elements Well

03:30

it'll be too soon Fingers crossed Another tornado comes along 00:03:34.175 --> [endTime] quickly
