What's sad is that he spent the time to make the table so we'd have an easy reference so we wouldn't have to memorize them all but SCHOOLS STILL MAKE YOU MEMORIZE THEM ALL.

Mendeleev also created his table in such a way that the noble gases (which were discovered very late) could fit into the table without disturbing it. He was a true genius

I should probably make a chemistry joke but I guess all the good ones argon

"ice cream sammich" "you know, I'm something of a scientist myself"

00:38 - dmitri mendeleev 01:34 - he named an undiscovered element 01:41 - called eka-aluminum 02:28 - paul emile lecoq de boisbaudran discovered gallium, also known as eka-aluminum 03:07 - mendeleev predicted other elements aswell 03:49 - the element at number 101 was called mendelevium for anyone who has to write notes Xx

Teacher: Do you know the symbol for Nobelium? Me: No Teacher: Sodium? Me: Na Teacher: great! 100/100

People like that truly make me proud of being human. Human genius and insight at times is just unreal. It's shame that as species we have so much more flaws than advantages.

*watches in class* my brain: sammich sammich sammich

"...Up there with the Taj Mahal, the Mona Lisa and the ice cream sammich."

The periodic table is one of the great devices for memorization. I recommend to you that you memorize the 1st 20 or 30 elements. By doing so, you will have most of the building blocks of chemistry memorized, similar to memorizing the main sequence of stars in re astronomy. The periodic table separates metals from gases, shows the groups who tend to have so many bonding combinations, etc.

For those wondering why Mendeleev choose sanskrit numbers like Eka ,Dvi ,Tri as prefixes for some elements, Wikipedia states that he heard from his friend Otto Von Böhtlingk , who was writing a book about the Sanskrit grammarian Panini,who had also similarly arranged the Sanskrit alphabets by their phonetic properties ; hence the reference

It must be so cool to make a radical prediction and have it confirmed multiple times during your lifetime :)

I was gonna make a sodium joke but Na

Who’s here only watching this for school......

Dmitri Mendeleev is one of my favorite scientists ever

That wasn't his only achievement. He was so smart that he grouped the elements in such a way that it wouldn't disturb the group of noble gasses (group 18, period 1-7) Noble gasses were not discovered at the time and when they were, an eighteenth group was created to not disturb the existing order.

was gonna throw a party for magnesium iron silicate hydroxide, but he’s not Cummingtonite

Honor to Dimitri Mendeleev

I did learn this in school. My whole class did. You can even read it in almost any generic high school chemistry textbook. It's not uncommon knowledge, just forgotten or not paid attention to.

Shower curtains? Seriously, sheldon is the only one i think would put periodic table as a background.

Brother: Did you eat my cookie? Me: Na

ice cream sammitch

Nice and instructing video! Thank you! Too bad the Nobel prize committee at the time ,plotted to skip Mendeleev award. Shame on them!

It amazes me that catagorizing the elements with thier various characteristics helped to predict future elements that could be found

This is no Genius, his descendant from the future came to him through time machine and gave him the Modern Table. That is why he kept (V) before (Cr) irrespective of atomic mass. It can clearly be seen its a forceful act. OR IF NOT, HE IS LEGENDARY LEVEL GENIUS

does anyone have to watch this video because of your teacher

The periodic table in itself is ingenious. It arranges the elements based on atomic number, similar characteristics, valence electrons, electronegativity, ionization energy, and much more.

Wanna hear a joke about sodium hypobromite??? NaBrO

Maybe the more thought provoking question is how do the elements know how to react to each other in the first place? Neutralialities, violatilities etc, since it is a table, just food for thought.

The discovery of periodic properties was pure genius!

I love this channel a lot that it has become a daily routine of mine to watch at least one ted-ed video. Thank you so much for these amazing animations along with wonderful narration..❤❤

Chemistry Class Be Like Teacher: "Do you know the formula for sodium hypobromite?"Me: "NaBrO." Teacher: "What about the symbol for Nobellium?" Me: "No." Teacher: "Well do you at least know the symbol for sodium?" Me: "Na." Teacher: "... A+! :D" ***CoPIED

i have the peridoic table inside my sheets "whenever you look at a periodic table he will be staring back" YEAH no thanks

"Ice cream sammich" "Science Valhalla" Stop making me laugh, I've still got 4.5 minutes of video to watch!

Dimitri was a born genius as he could see the vision before the vision was their.

Who's here watching this after they've learnt about it in school? Like A YEAR AFTER Because they just enormously appreciate the genius of this man or probably their reading about it again this year? Cause IM IN BOTH OF THOSE CATEGORIES

Beautifully narrated!

Are you made up of copper and tellurium...? Then why are you CuTe

Lou Serico's enthusiasm is epic! hes passionate!!! I wish he was my teacher in high school

This is the most helpful channel everr!!!! My exam saver ❤❤❤

Mendeleev made his own periodic table, but the table that we use today , Modern Periodic Table , was not done by Mendeleev. It was done by Henry Mosley and 3 other scientists. But the stepping stones for the Modern Periodic Table are 100% derived from Mendeleev's Periodic Table. Things like classification of elements in the form of periods and groups and also using a tabular form. He also classified the elements on the basis of oxides and hydrides and also corrected the atomic mass of many elements. Obviously, the greatest part of his Table was leaving empty spaces for future elements to be placed. Even after how great the table was it had some serious disadvantages:- 1)It could not explain the position of hydrogen . This is still a problem in Modern Periodic Table, but we have kind off resolved by giving hydrogen a completely different position in the Modern Periodic Table. You might have observed that all elements touch each other in the modern periodic table except hydrogen. 2)The elements were classified on the basis of their atomic mass. If arranging elements using atomic mass sounds wrong to you or you have a question as to why atomic mass is not good for classification, then let me explain. If we use atomic mass for classification of elements, then we will also have to include the isotopes (elements with same atomic number, but different atomic mass. Eg. Hydrogen has 3 different isotopes)of all elements in his Periodic Table . If we had to do this then his table would be incredibly large and would be impossible for remembering. 3)Since he used atomic mass for classification, others questioned him as to why he didn't include all the isotopes of all the elements. These 3 are the reasons why we don't use Mendeleev's Periodic Table

Look at a photograph of him. His eyes are so alert and penetrating Obviously his Mama saw something very unique about him to go to such trouble to get him educated. Thank you Mother of Dmitri

This is so old Ted ed has grown so much

That fact he managed to make almost prefect predictions is nothing short of incredible. I love science.

Eka, pronounced 'aeka' in bengali, means 'alone'! Glad to see some of such words being used in science community.

More chemistry and psychology please!

0:32 He says "Ice cream sammich"

The interesting thing is that Mendeleev discovered the Periodic Table, but didn't invent it; none of us did. Every element in existence already fit perfectly together in a massively complex 3-4 dimensional puzzle. Humans found something that was already intricately and *amazingly* designed by God.

The gallery of pics showing all noble prize winners showed Gandhi as one of them. For your information he never won a Nobel prize

As far as I have heard the gaps were originally left to make sure that the other elements having similar properties fall in the same column.

I would name an element LouSericom. That was excellent!!

This man is my hero. I love this table and this man. Mendeleev, you absolute genius!

;) Adorei... Me apaixonei por todos os vídeos desse canal. Muito bom!!! Veio aquele momento de decepção quando Mendeleev não recebe nenhuma nomeação pelo menos. Mas aí vem o contraste do elemento em sua homenagem, o mendelévio :D

best youtube video i have ever seen, truly, it is the best.

It's most amazing that Dmitri Mendeleev saw the Periodic Table in a dream. “Knowledge is a light which God casteth into the heart of whomsoever He willeth." ~ Bahá’u’lláh, Baha'i Faith

TEDEd Lessons Worth Sharing

0:30 who else here's this guy say sanmich?

Already gotta learn the whole thing by next week ; its the first day of school.

Mum: What should we name him? My weird brother: Paul emile lecoq de boua

thank uu doing an essay on the history of the periodic table this is exactly what i needed anyone watching in 2019

Thank you, you helped me understand the evolution of the periodic table for my science exam

I had an exam for this!! This guy saved me

He deserves more than a Noble Prize

"That dash IS SCIENCE!" :D

When some steals your gold you say A U! When someone steals your copper you say i C U! And when someone steal your silver you say Aw G

Such a great video! Please update it. 🙂

The Monalisa is genius because of the indecipherable quality of the expression of its subject. Due to the sfumato technique, no one can quite put the finger of her smile, nor can anyone tell where she's looking at, wherever you stand it'll appear that she's staring at you. I no specialist but I'm sure there're people who could spend days explaning its brilliance.

0:22 Sheldon from The Big Bang!

Tell me more about this ice cream "sammich"

the teacher told us to watch this, Im Perfect was here

Thnx for the help

0:34 LETS GO ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!!

So is anyone else watch this because they missed it in class and they don’t want a F or is it just me ..just me okay🤷🏽‍♀️.

Bro, what. Who's gonna be able to do something as great as this in the next 200 years?

I'm proud Mendeleev finished my university of KPI in Kyiv, Ukraine

#sonicthehedgehoggene #kratosgene #yeahboi

here is the problem the table which you are referring to on cups t shirts etc. it is the modern periodic table and it was developed by Henry Moseley and is based on atomic number whereas the one given by Mendeleev was based on atomic mass reason why it had so many anomalies so Moseley just improvised it

This was a brilliant . Loved it. Very very inspiring

This is cool, I'm watching this for school but it is cool.

Mendeleev was a sheer genius...

4:11 Who the fuck holds their mug like that girl ?

Sodium and chloride walked into a bar and ordered a round of cocktails. Moments later the police showed up, and placed them both under arrest. Sodium asked “why am I being arrested?” The police replied “for a salt”

finally my science teacher got us something good to watch

Great Russian scientists like him make me proud of Russia )

great video, loved the animation! I learned a lot, =)

Thanks for making me understand what those empty spots are! 😍

This litterly creaking me up 😂😂😂😂 periodic table on anything I love THIS!!😂😂😂😂

Mendeleev: Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran: _surprised Pikachu face_

Why does the narrator sound exactly like the Dimitri guy would sound

Thnx bro it helped me alot

on what bases he left gaps in his periodic table , I mean how he was able to predict there was a element missing and also how he predicted it's physical and chemical properties . plz tell fast I am very curious

At first I could swear it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Class 10 Science chapter.Wish me luck for Boards!!

This is so wow!

But what about Moseley? He actually arranged and categorised the table...

Well, students discover more elements than the scientists Eg: potasscum, sodadium 😉

03:53 Gandhi NEVER won a Nobel Prize!

It's wonderful to be able to learn something new.

sooooperb video .... so easily explained n looks so easy but must have taken daysss of work ... really appreciate

I'm Science class being forces to watch this hello
