Periodic Table Elements by Countryballs 

"Chemistry is, well technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change." - Walter Hartwell White Sr. Sorry for not posting in a while

2:20 You did Plutonium explosively dirty 💀

For those that don't get the Arsenic picture: In Victorian England (and elsewhere and elsewhen), arsenic was a key ingredient in the green dye "Arsenic Green" which was popular for wallpaper. During cold and damp months, the wallpaper had a tendency to molder, breaking down the dye and releasing the volatile arsenic and making people breathing it sick. Doctors would frequently prescribe beach holidays in these cases to get away from the damp weather believed to be causing the sickness (which, in a way, it was), and for some reason, likely having to do with the patients not breathing arsenic vapors, the afflicted would get better. Sincerely, someone who paraphrased this from Theodore Gray's _The Elements_ and used "Arsenic Green" bamboo blocks in a Minecraft build the other day.

This is like an alternate timeline where Countryballs is an educational 90’s Saturday morning cartoon.

Context for references (about both the elements and countryballs) not everyone may be familiar with (if I skip some it's because I either consider them obvious or don't get them myself): - Lithium is mostly mined in Chile in use for batteries - Beryllium is what gives emeralds their colour - Maledives are sinking so yeah, they do need oxygen over there - Roman soldiers were paid in salt (also this is where the word salary comes from) - Magnesium is used for emergency flares (and also fireworks) - The Concord (and other supersonic planes) can go this fast thanks to aluminium alloys - The Chinese were the first to develop gunpowder (which of course needs sulfur) - Honduras and other Central American nations were what is known as "banana republics" - that's a long topic (and yeah, bananas contain potassium) - Manganese is present in ochre and other ancient pygments - The world's largest supplier of cobalt is the DRC - which brought a lot of horrible conflicts to it - Fun fact, US nickels are composed of only 25% nickel (the rest is copper). On the other hand, Canadian ones from before 1982 are 100%! - The word copper comes from the greek name for Cyprus, which was a major supplier - Arsenic was used in the green pygment used for wallpapers in the XIXth century, mostly in the UK - and yes, it killed people - Bromine-silver (as well as iodine-silver) compounds were used in early photography - Krypton is used in some lights, much like other noble gases (neon isn't the only one) - Rubidium is used in (expensive) purple fireworks - So is strontium - Yttrium (plus Erbium, Terbium and Ytterbium) were all discovered in a mineral found in the Scandinavian village of Ytterby - Rhodium is the most expensive normally purchasable element - The word Argentina comes from the same root as silver in Latin - Antimony was used by ancient Egyptians for eye makeup (not a good idea because it's toxic) - Caesium is used in atomic clocks thanks to the stable vibration of its atoms (they're the universal measurement for the duration of a second) - Barium is used in green fireworks - Cerium is used in lighters (and these modern metal flint and steel thingys) - Holmium is named after the old Latin name for Stockholm (Holmia) - Thulium is named after the historic name for Scandinavia (Thule) - Hafnium is named after the Latin name for Kopenhagen - Tantalum is used in surgeric prosthetics (also a reference to the Panamanian canal) - Rhenium is named after the river Rhine - Osmium is the most dense element (and Nauru is the most obese country) - Iridium comes to Earth mostly in the form of meteorites - Platinum was discovered by the Spanish during the conquests - and considered a worthless annoyance since it made purifying silver harder - The mercury thermometer was invented by Gabriel Fahrenheit - who came from Danzig/Gdańsk - Astatine is extremely radioactive (and the rarest of all natural elements, in any given moment, the entire Earth contains only ~30 grams of it!) - Radon was used in baths believed to help boost the mood (also not the best idea since it too is radioactive) - Francium has the shortest half-life of all naturat elements at only ~22 minutes - Radium was used in fluorescent paints (guess why that's a bad idea) - Thorium was used in streetlights and lamps (it could've been the reason for radiation discovered after the Diatłow's Pass incident) - Protactinium is common in nuclear waste (which was stored by the USSR in Central Asia, thus the countries shown) - So is neptunium - Transplutonium elements are all artifical and named after either scientists or places of their discovery, I won't go over them Fell free to correct any potential mistakes or ask for info!

i like how france is represented as an atom or francium while it says "francium will not last long" just like france if the government keeps on being crap

This just popped up in my recommended ı have a feeling this is gonna blow up Wow this comment got 1200 likes... Cool I guess?

2:00 Damn didn't expect him to roast France.

As a periodic table and countryball fan, this is so AWESOME!

This better blow up as much as the amount of times Chernobyl was referenced

This combine my 2 most favorite things, countryballs and elements, kudos!

0:22 AirFrance flight 4590 Aircraft: concorde Concorde Air France (AF) 4590 was a Concorde aircraft from the Air France (AF) fleet that crashed while taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, which at that time was heading for New York, United States. This incident occurred on July 25 2000 and killed 109 people on board the plane and 4 people on the ground.

I remember seeing germanium, francium, and europium and thinking of the countries Germany and France, but I never knew there were so many more elements named after, or at least sound like, other places like Scandinavia and Tennessee of all places 😂

This is honestly so cool, the attention to detail and history of the associated countries is outstanding !!

This is THE definitive music video for the song, also covering which elements are important to certain countries (both historically and contemporarily) and where their names originated!

0:23 AIR FRANCE CONCORDE

my Science teacher played this song in class, I thought I wouldn't hear it again but here I am.

The elements doesn't even need autotune.This is more fire than potassium in water 🔥 Edit: For those wondering why alkali metals burn in water: This reaction occurs because the alkali metals become ionized so easily in water. They produce heat and hydrogen gas in the process which leads to a violent reaction. Why this happens with alkali metals? Well, they have only one valence electron, which they readily lose to form a positive ion (achieving the noble gases configuration). And why they lose the electron so easily?. That is because of their low ionization energy, energy needed to remove one electron from the atom of an element (in gas state). The ionization energy is lower in elements located more at the left of the periodic table because the nucleus of the atom has less force to attract electrons. In addition the more you descend in the group of alkali metals, the atomic size is bigger so the valence electron is more far away from the nucleus and there is more repulsion with inner electrons (shielding effect). That means that Francium lose more easily its valence electron than Potassium so its reaction with water will be more violent than in the case of Potassium.

Perfect way to learn And Memorize the periodic table 🗣️🔥

Why schools show crappy songs unlike this gold

1:59 I love the reference to British Columbia

I hope one day Drew Durnil will react to this amazing video! (Chemistry, History, Geography, Astronomy fan here)

I love how with calcium the Netherlands is like to East Timor “eat it now”

2:19 YOU INCLUDED CHERNOBYL!!

1:54 AMERICA. DONT DRINK THE PINK SAUCE

The effort put into this is astounding, very impressive!

0:26 Germany not again

0:52 UKball: Wales (chocking) Cal-l t-t-the doctor-r (dies)

This is wonderful, great work, haven't seen good countryball content in a while

Awesome! Did not know where some of those element names came from, thank you!

As someone who is a permanent resident in Hong Kong I can confirm the night and morning of Hong Kong is just Neon ads

This deserves more for the work put into this it just deserves more

I love the concept you went with, pretty unique!

This is great. An fun way to learn about the perodic table, the foundations of chemistry.

This is incredible, every part was magical

0:51 UK got Arsenic'd

0:22 YAY THEY ADDED THE CONCORD

This is a awesome video! A beautiful piece of art

For those who don't understand the Osmium-Nauru picture (at 1:45), it's a joke on how Osmium is the densest element (most mass in a given volume). Nauru is one of the most obese countries on earth, because they are an island nation unable to naturally grow food; thus, they have no choice but to import. However, unlike other island nations like Australia or New Zealand, Nauru isn't especially rich, so it has to opt for importing canned food. And regularly eating a lot of canned food will make you obese.

Truly the most underrated yet most well done video and song made.

PHENOMENAL, KEEP IT UP MATE 🎉

Indium *i think* should’ve shown india but good vid! (1:06 - 1:07) Fun fact (Unless you like gum)! 49 shows Singapore bc it’s a crime to eat gum there. And yes, its gum

Very nicely done!

Wow. Your artwork is amazing!

Cuando mezclas la química con la geografía e historia, mis ciencias favoritas Obtienes una obra maestra!🤩 Nuevo sub

I like how indium is represented as chewing gum in Singapore (indium is the safest metal to chew on like gum)

That was truly beautiful bravo!

Chemistry and history are my favourites! This is such a perfect video and I can learn so much stuff !

This just popped up in my recommendations, and Im happy to have found your channel, very underrated. Would love to see more videos :D

0:57 i got Zirconium pants

That was Amazing it just came up in my recommended

Wow this is really creative!

This is really creative, which is really rare for countryballs these days

0:54 my country

SUPER SLAY CONGATS ON THAT AWESOME VID!!!

This is absolutely amazing

1:57 Belarus 1:59 Canada province , British Columbia 2:01 OHIO

2:36 you should of put Russia launching Poland at the sun because its oganes'son'

I love this so much! ❤️I know the whole periodic table and combining it with countryballs (one of my obsessions) was something I needed to see! I love all the references 🎉

Thank you for this video!!!i know some elements now!!!btw the song looks good😊

They named it "Francium" because it lasts for a very little time, although "Denmarkium" might've been a better name

I knew Argentina would be silver because the name comes from the Latin word for silver

Excellent video.

Haha, this is really nice. Thank you for making this. ❤

1:12 - 1:40 hit so hard 🥲, idk why it just sounded so beautiful Honestly this was nicely done!

Thank you I learned the science lol! And it’s awesome!

Te quedó muy bien :D

It looks like a classic 2017 Polandball video

Nice how you portrayed Thailand countryball in a cave, like the incident where 13 kids were trapped in a cave due to flooding.

This was great I love it, it’s now in my head!

This is some of the most well made countryball video

0:35 is that a Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact reference?

Lmao the Carthago delenda est at 0:20

This is epic!

This is a masterpiece!!

I really love chemistry and history this song is a master piece

Two of my favorite things combined

This has taught me basic chemistry better than any school would do, Thanks!

The lyrics are just amazing Very enjoyful-informative

1:12 Oh my God that change in course was beautiful. 🥲

Isso e magnífico Parabéns 👏

This Is Very Amazing just took the time to Watch it and it was worth every second

keep the good work, you gained an sub 👍👍

Such an underrated certain arrangement of carbon that creates a shiny crystal object.

this needs to be the new way kids learn the periodic table

Fantastic masterpiece

this is actually really good

I love when it sounds like a country (or a union for EU) they but the ball in some elections. 😂

Removing polish using chemical: 😀 Removing Polish using chemical:💀

Man I got goosebumps Friggin EPIC!

I like the pics. They’re really nice and funny.

0:05 The Elements of the periodic table

Love how you memorized the whole table! Edit: 0:22 aint no way they showed concorde 💀

Well done.

Here, take my subscription. You’ve earned it

for anyone not understanding the arsenic picture, in Victorian england a color known as “Arsenic green” was widespread and it contained arsenic in it and arsenic led to arsenic poisoning and the british ball died because of arsenic poisoning

this... this is... PERFECT!!! i was actually gonna do this myself but you beat me to it! and i LOVE your art style! what program do you use?

This. Is. AMAZING!

This Is really good
