It's crazy, how when copper rusts it turns green, also burns green too.
These kind of videos are Gold.
Fun fact, scientists used this technique to figure out what certain planets were made of, they would direct the light bouncing off of the planets, and put it into a prism which would separate the wavelength and depending on what color would show up would tell them what element was most prominent on that planet.
& my favorite overall, uranium, giving out a huge 20-mile blast range flame
Potassium should give a faint violet -- but it's almost impossible to get potassium salts that aren't contaminated with a trace of sodium, and the yellow flare of the sodium covers the potassium's faint violet. Look through a piece of cobalt glass, however, and it'll filter out the sodium yellow and allow you to see the potassium violet.
Dude explains firework colors and is lowkey enjoying chemical fumes like a boss
"Copper can be found in statue of liberty" ~MR. White
Li:- Crimson Red Na:- yellow K:- lilac Rb:- voilet-pink Cs:- blue Ca:- brick red Sr:- crimson red Ba:- apple green And so on these are just s block elements!
We did this experiment in 7th grade science class! More than 20 years later and it still sticks in my brain as one of my favorite, most memorable science lessons ever!!
This is how shorts should be. No clickbait, no screaming at me, no looping
Science is so cool. I wish I appreciated it when I was in school.
10yrs and I still remember this from class. Because it’s just so brilliant!
Learning how fireworks get their colors is so fascinating, science is truly magical and beautiful.
Thank you for the idea. Now I'll go scrape the statue of liberty
Fun fact. The reason most fireworks aren’t the beautiful blue color is because it cost way more money and is harder to source than the other elements.
“And Magnesium gives you a bright white color”
I wish I had you as my science teacher, you’re so easy to listen to
When the elements get heated, its electrons absorb the thermal energy and gets excited in which makes them move up energy levels. Then it returns back to stabilise itself so it gets back to a lower energy level in which releases photons that corresponds to the wavelength of the visible light spectrum
Such contents are needed sir.. Instead of useless shorts 🙏
