Thulium (new) - Periodic Table of Videos

It's for Thule

Excellent. Very interesting as always.

Big thumbs up from Neil.

My favorite element.

The main thing I've learned about chemistry from watching these educational videos is that whenever something is bubbling off hydrogen, you have to light it on fire because it's fun.

Thule means "shut up" in Swedish, according to Google Translate. I wonder if there is a connection. Thule is also the brand name of a Swedish roof rack product.

Are you certain you've used the right Bunsen burner clip in this video? It's the same clip as was used in the new Hafnium video back in May, I just played them side by side. It's the same video clip of Neil filing it with the help of Connor, and of Neil sprinkling the shavings into the flame.

Would y’all please make a video on the science and chemist of H2O, water. I’ve been subscribed since 2007. Been wanting a Video on this.

I think people forget that lanthanides are pretty reactive.

Thulium is 69!

While the chemist Cleve was Swedish, the name hails from Germany. The last phoneme maybe changed, but the pronounciation would absolutely have been more similar to professor's first option!

Thank you for all the exciting chemistry experiments!

Best wishes from USA and love the professor, and all the periodic videos

Hi Martyn, I love your videos. I've been watching them for almost a decade or more and still seems to be yesterday I discovered your channel, 😂. Please, live for another 2000 years !!!! We need professors like you to make the World understand how important and delightful is to study Chemistry. Thank you for existing and being such a lovely person....🙏🙏🙏

You sort of remind me of Brian May.
😎😎

I love the old wooden test tube stand!😊

correct me if im wrong but i think thulium is named after a place called Thule in Greenland

The audio level on this video is almost inaudible (-13.4 db).

I watch these videos, periodically.

I’ve been watching forever, early 2012’s timeline? Every time I see a new video I’m always excited.

Tu in polish means here.

Yes I would suspect the french as well... looking at you UTC -.-

Thulium… atomic number… nice.

In the comedy sci-fi novel illegal aliens thulium is the base of the galactic currency due to being very rare but not particularly useful. It was interesting to see what it is like in real life.

We absolutely know that when you got the thulium you did indeed get that excited giggles i love these videos he is such a wonderful teacher

Did anybody else think this was going to be a video about thallium?

"Tú" is also the Spanish word for "you".

69? Nice 😏

Did someone finally put handcuffs on this guy?

Should show some reactions of rare earth elements with metaloids. Antimony acts like an oxidizer... i got a few vids on RRE

nice

Seeing the clip think one could make lightgreen-sparkling rockets and also handheld sparklers with thulium in them but these might going to be very expensive I suppose.

This old guy is still working here. 😂

Wht about a video on ur lab tour?😅😅

Could probably work well in fireworks, but being really rare; probably cost prohibited.

A new periodic video! Nice

ohhh hes still alive

Pop Quiz! Name the source! "Thulium, Thulium, Thulium. I'd sell my own mother for a bag of Thulium."

Just love how these overlooked elements are actually so interesting and amazing

I'm going to corner the Thulium Sparkler market! 🎇

I'm quite excited I can be featured beneath my favorite element. I need to find an extra $34 a month here somewhere!

I wonder if the symbol was changed because Tu might have been confused with Tungsten. Imagine having to remember that Tungsten's symbol is not the obvious Tu, but W.

Oh, Neil has his own office. That's pretty generous of the professor.

"I didn’t get quite that excited”😂

Indeed it's a noice sample

Wile E. Coyote 😂
