The Periodic Table of Videos


For the geeks and those who wish they paid more attention in Chemistry class (totally projecting here) comes a new way to learn about the periodic table. The University of Nottingham has brought the 19th Century table into the 21st Century with interactive multimedia. Click on any element to watch a video to find out what it does.

Below is a video on Nitrogen, number 7 on the periodic table and the most abundant element in Earth's atmosphere. It's responsible for Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). Watch how the gas pours like a liquid in the video below. Now you can school the dentist!
