Wait. They didn't call a ring of boron a boring?

@chmis3 10 лет назад

On my lest chemistry exam I had to propose a method to detect amonia borane and couldn't come up with anything. Should have written "It squeaks".

@headrockbeats 10 лет назад

And it squeaks!! Also I'm glad to know Boron Girl is still hard at work protecting Nottingham from the evil forces of not-Boron atoms.

@TheBreed010 10 лет назад

Thumbs up for our long not seen Debbie Kays!!!!

@mandydax 10 лет назад

I giggled a little when he said that the inorganic chemist had to use carbon paper. :3

@MrZerausogaitnas 10 лет назад

min 05:54 "and it squeaks" I love this man.

@jeremyj.5687 10 лет назад

5:47 Professor Poliakoff at his loveliest and cutest.

@diablo0073 10 лет назад

Really well done. I'd heard about "Wade's Rules" from my undergraduate professors in the past. Never thought I'd see someone who knew the guy after whom the rules are named.

@halesworth01 10 лет назад

I only watch these video's because Debbie makes them really interesting!

@RAS19551 10 лет назад

I am very happy to see you again professor.

@midwinter78 10 лет назад

When I was an undergrad, I was in a lecture given by Ron Snaith, one of Wade's old PhD students. He was recounting the time when Wade proposed Wade's rules for the first time. Apparently this was met with "never mind that, it's your round!"

@DerpingtonJr 10 лет назад

I now have the theme from Wayne's World stuck in my head... and all this wonderful inorganic chemistry knowledge.

@Heschoscho 10 лет назад

coming home from school and seeing this video is just great

@DuCaDo003 10 лет назад

Debbie loves boron!!!

@Vettec8 10 лет назад

watching this in canada at 4am right now wooooh

@Nexus2Eden 10 лет назад

Watching in Kentucky, USA at 6 am - still amazing, even at this hour. lol

@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH 10 лет назад

Why am I up at 4 in the morning watching a video about Boron compounds? I am not a chemistry major.

@kenlee5509 10 лет назад

Giants, on whose shoulders we all stand. Bravo Ken! Well lived indeed! Huzzah! for those with their names on rules and laws! Huzzah!

@DudokX 10 лет назад

This is not boring at all!

@lhl2500 10 лет назад

".. and it squeaks.. No it doesn't really squeak" LMAO! XD

@ChuckCanada1 10 лет назад

This was a wonderful video, I will try to find a copy of Wade's book thesis.

@auntied4950 10 лет назад

Thank you for this, much appreciated.

@TheLordAncient 10 лет назад

5:53 LOL Hilarious

@irene_deneb 10 лет назад

Could you guys do a video on alternative biochemistries that might drive extraterrestrial life? For example, Ammonia, Methane, or Hydrogen Fluoride in lieu of Water as an organic solvent, or Boron in lieu of Carbon, or alternate photosynthetic processes. Exobiology has always fascinated me.

@garethdean6382 10 лет назад

All very nice, but can we have some more discussion of those rules? Boranes (an indeed the structure of boron itself.) are intriguing subjects.

@SuperFinGuy 10 лет назад

Yay Debbie is back! BTW, the rules don't seem very general, shouldn't all molecular structures be formed by quantum wave functions, electrical charge and temperature?

@gabekarl82 10 лет назад

Dr Deborah Kays :)

@RFC3514 10 лет назад

1:53 - Flip-Flop plant by the window.

@MCRDOTCOM 10 лет назад

I miss Debbie! Get some more Boron videos :D

@barretojazjab5894 10 лет назад

Thank you professor. Let's adopt the Greek letters for grades again!

@JodyBarnettgplus 10 лет назад

So when will all these books be scanned into digital formats like .epub files? or at least copied by high definition flat bed scanners, into digital format. Or has this process taken place already?

@r.b.4611 10 лет назад

This video taught me the exact meaning of the common phrase "Carbon copy".

@BricksOfAwesome 10 лет назад

Well, now I know where the expression 'carbon copy' came from.

@RandomExperiments 10 лет назад

Nice video! :) My last exam was also about Wade's rules :)

@FPSGameClips 10 лет назад

'Nido' means 'nest' and 'ragno' means 'spider' in Italian. ;)

@thenoticerofthe13 10 лет назад

see the monitor in the backround ? im using the same one right now ! :)

@LucasPreti 10 лет назад

You should make a video on how to have a haircut like his

@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time 10 лет назад

Nice video!!!

@jeebersjumpincryst 10 лет назад

u AGAIN!!!! you are everywhere; or there are many of you!

@RichardTScott-me2rm 10 лет назад

I liked this video. It was a nice peace of human history of a dedicated person.

@filitalian 10 лет назад

So H loosely forms 2 bonds when joined with Boron?

@zasgat 10 лет назад

really great video!

@Domeiertho 10 лет назад

All I can think of when I hear "Wade's rules" is "Wayne's World!"

@5000loto 10 лет назад

I also had to hand draw figures and hand letter these figure in my dissertation (couldn’t even use rub off transfers). It was, however typed on an IBM Selectric electric typewriter (slightly out of the dark ages).

@jeebersjumpincryst 10 лет назад

but what are these borane molecules used for? do they have any applications?

@TheIcecreamGeek 10 лет назад

Was OCR called the Cambridge Union earlier in its history?

@omichron420 10 лет назад

The pic of Kenneth Wade reminds me of a combination of Fred Armisen and Rick Moranis.

@EPICGUYDUDE 10 лет назад

How on earth does hydrogen have 2 bonds in diborane?

@evildude109 10 лет назад

Everything taught to you in intro chem is incorrect.

@ehTrotcoD 10 лет назад

The 2 bonds aren't quite whole bonds. They have a much longer bond length than the singly bonded H's coming off the ends. Without delving into molecular orbital theory, a simple explanation is that each hydrogen in the bridge has a half bond to each boron.

@ShinyMudkipable 10 лет назад

After searching a bit, I found a concept called "three-center two-electron bond." As its name implies, two electrons are shared among three atoms. This is the case in the diborane compound with those hydrogen "bridges". It may be worth checking out for the interest.

@NinjaOnANinja 10 лет назад

5:53 Did he actually make a joke? A joke that actually made me grin? Woah.

@ieuanhunt552 10 лет назад

E.Kenway RIP Ken wade

@jezzalike22 10 лет назад

How can hydrogen bond with more than one element? I thought it only has the one free electron to bond with?

@floriL3636 10 лет назад

maybe you mixed it with nitrogen?

@zasgat 10 лет назад

Google had a doodle on Percy Julian recently. A video on him would be nice

@owenb111 10 лет назад

'younger researchers like me' ummmm

@evildude109 10 лет назад

The Professor was a doctoral student in the 60s, if I recall correctly.

@JWQweqOPDH 10 лет назад

finished reading your comment right as that part of the video was playing :)

@The101damnations 10 лет назад

4th? My life is complete. E=mc^2.

@Desmaad 10 лет назад

Diborane is fascinatingly bizzarre: how can one hydrogen atom have, in effect, two bonds to it? It's stronger than the usual hydrogen bonding, I know.

@yoppindia 10 лет назад

Can wade rules be applied to professor's hair?

@rogerwilco2 10 лет назад

There will be no record cards 70 years from now. I think that they would be hard pressed to even have records from 15-20 years ago, given the retention time of digital formats.

@NeonsStyleHD 10 лет назад

Shame we lost such a brilliant mind.

@DaxenSama 10 лет назад

That book must have been BORing, that's why nobody's BOROed it for so long :P Sorry that was a bad joke...

@1959Edsel 10 лет назад

Someone needs to develop a boron-nitrogen compound that squeaks.

@davidbuschhorn6539 10 лет назад

That's not really his hair. Those are actually his eyebrows. Epic, epic eyebrows.

@MrKmanrambo 10 лет назад

Can't VSEPR theory describe the same things Wade's Rules are trying to determine?

@hartzellos 7 лет назад

Just thought I'd comment as no one have done it for years

@alisoncheng6667 10 лет назад

"they'd react together and they'd squeak" hahahah

@fakjbf 10 лет назад

When they say "Ken Wade" I keep hearing "Kenway" like Edward Kenway from AC4 or his son Haytham from AC3

@daisukekichigoru4900 10 лет назад

So that's where the term carbon copy came from in emails O.o

@WhiterunGuard11998 10 лет назад

Wow, I never knew what a carbon copy was before. Imagine what we'll be looking back on in the future. "And we had to attach the files to our emails and send them out! So much manual work, life is so much easier nowadays with our brain-channeled hyperlinks and stuff."

@NinjaOnANinja 10 лет назад

2:17 2 BH3's aren't the only 2 things coming together ; D
