In this science talk for bedtime, I review the periodic table of the elements methodically and explain in simple terms plenty of phenomenons and concepts about chemistry and physics (for example in this episode: metalloids, alpha and beta decay, Xenon poisoning of nuclear reactors...) as well as the industrial and economic relevance of some of these elements. For tonight, we continue with elements 30 to 118, including zinc, arsenic, rhodium, silver, tungsten, platinum, gold, mercury, lead, uranium and plutonium.
