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

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
