The
Periodic Table of Videos from the
University of Nottingham,
School of Chemistry in England is a series of
YouTube videos produced by
Brady Haran, a former BBC video journalist. Each element of
the Periodic Table has its own video ranging in length from 3 to 10
minutes. There are also numerous extra videos on other
subjects related to chemistry.
The videos are narrated by the School of Chemistry professors including
Professor Martyn Polikoff the archtypical mad scientist. Take a quick look at the
Bismuth (Bi) video, the heaviest non-radioactive element, number 83 for a good introduction to the fascinating and informative videos.
The videos are positively addictive. One can easily spend an enjoyable week going
through them and learning a lot of chemistry.
