Hi, everyone! In this video I am going to tell you about such substances as superbases and why that chemicals is definitely not from our planet.
"But, if we continue to ignore safety precautions..." This is why you're my favorite chemistry channel.
Have you heard about explosions & fire?

That butyl lithium brings back memories. I was doing a project as part of my chemistry degree in the very early 90s. It was to check the “phase transition characteristics of liquid crystals”. I had to use butyl lithium as part of the procedure to make the liquid crystals to be investigated. It involved a fume cupboard, a shed load of dry ice to keep everything REALLY cold and a syringe for the butyl lithium. A syringe that NEVER worked properly and kept trying to dump it all in one go. The professor overseeing me pointed out that if the syringe let too much of the butyl lithium go at once, they wouldn’t have to bury me, they would just repaint the walls to coverup what was left of me. Remarks like that really help to focus your attention on what you are doing. Sometimes I miss the days before health and safety existed. Sometimes.
LIAR!
@@MichaelKingsfordGray I don't see why you think shamurais is lying, but there is something very suspicious about the Sheri Sanji story. You would expect painful, debilitating injuries, but not death, and certainly not a body half reduced to ashes. It doesn't add up. A few hundred milliliters couldn't do that much damage, no matter how reactive it is.
@@WaffleStaffel She is lying about something as basic as her identity, as you are! It is as clear as that!
@@MichaelKingsfordGray And this is how you spend the precious few moments you have on this earth? Good for you, _"Kingsford"_
@@WaffleStaffel a few hundred ml of any reactive/energetic material that proceeds with velocities of 5 to 10 MILES per SECOND would certainly be a candidate for death. I have to disagree with you on this one.
Watching him speak, takes me back to the 60's and my first acid drop.
i can allmost feels that
And that music too...hooo boy...🤪
Watching... him speak...? Hearing him speak?
@@locrianphantom3547 you know people move their mouth to speak? Also acid can link senses that people don't usually have linked
Feeling the colors, seeing the sound......
If I was in your lab I would mainly be wearing a tank for protection. lol
This makes no sense

I know things like polycarbonate safety glasses don't look all that great, but when tested to the extreme they can take a staggering amount of force/energy and save your eyes, and a polycarbonate shield between you and the experiment can save your whole body. If you want to give yourself nightmares, Google "grinder safety glasses accident" or look up Kentucky Balistics on KZhead having a .50 cal rifle explode and hit him right in the safety glasses 👀 that's some terrifying stuff. Always remember your safety specs folks
I've had my own accidents with grinders, always a fun time lmao
@@marxkartredge yea grinders are a half-horsepower of hate and danger that you can just hold one handed and wave about the place.... They teach you lessons about loose clothing and putting tools down while they're still spinning as well! The only reason they're not banned is because they're just so useful, there is no alternative
I'm glad you narrate your own videos. Your English is most excellent, just like your video content quality 🙂
I love how he actually read the comments because I remember him hiring a narrator, but a lot of us prefer his voice.
I just love this guy’s extreme Russian accent for some reason.
I thought his accent was German

I'm such a simple man. I remember many years ago, I subscribed for the cat. To this day, I'm still subbed for the cat, but I also enjoy these chemistry videos. Learning is so much more enjoyable when you don't force knowledge down people's throats, like they do in school.
You have yet to learn your real name!
Or just finally interested
@@MichaelKingsfordGray It's not Kingdford
Great video! I love the slow-motion timelapse of the explosions! Wow, so many fantastic substances,metals and gasses we have.
This reminds me of serving in the HAZMAT squad in my volunteer fire department. Many unidentified chemicals can only be identified in the field by checking what it reacts with.
Don't you have FTIR-Scanners for that? The firefighters in my country all have that.
Runaway and let the lab burn.
A lot of classical analytical chemistry did just that to identify what particular chemicals were, among other physical tests. Nowadays, labs have instrumentation that can identify unique fingerprints of various elements or substances. But prior to that, you had to perform qualitative tests to identify functional groups and work backwards.
@@joeschmoe3815 a volunteer station likely wouldn't. My major city depertmenr does have those but they aren't exactly cheap
@@Setixir Yeah, they're quite expensive but they enable you to react quickly when SHTF. And I totally forgot about the volunteer squads. I apologize for that. Thank God there are people like that.
Fun fact about super alkalines: These chemicals even react wuth acetone to form enolate ions. Try this: Pour first DMSO in an erlenmeyer; Then add acetone; Mix the compounds (acetone and DMSO don't dissolve each other due to polarity); Add a super alkali like tert butylithium, sodium amide or LDA in smmall portions. Result: a clear solution (enolate ions dissolve in water)
Gee thanks but i don't own a chemical lab.
F.y.i. Enolate anions like the one described made from acetone or other similar ketones Are quenched by water, resulting in forming LiOH + the original ketone!
@@drflash36 that's true. But what if you react the enolate with a haloarene like 3-bromotoluene?
Don't try this: steal some sodium from the chem' labs and chuck it down the high school toilet.
@@SiliconBong Fire in the bowl!
I always learn something on this channel.
The Illustrated & Narrated Periodic Table of Elements.
You are amongst the very few ones who show very useful information the application of abstract, keep up the good work and thanks for your efforts.
WOW!!! That was totally unexpected!! I LOVE your videos SOO MUCH! You show us the most interesting chemicals!! THANK YOU!
Finally, it's a relief to know you werent hacked
Do you follow HC Verma Sir's channel as well? I think I've seen your comment on that channel once
"Hacked." What does that imply exactly?
@@cwtrain many youtubers' accounts are getting hacked. He is referring to that I think Edit: I wrote 'heavier 6' instead of hacked
@@manishholla huh? What does "heavier 6" mean?
@@xenonram sorry. I wanted to write hacked
btw if anyone is kind of wondering what Sodium Hydroxide taste like, it taste sweet lol, yes i accidentally got a little grain of it in my mouth from doing experiments and no it didn't burn or irritate me i just drunk a lot of water as soon as i started tasting it, and i have gotten it on my skin before and it feels slimy and its really hard to get off, so yea be careful when working with that stuff lol (the experiments i was doing is making H2 gas by reacting NaOH with Aluminum and i was trying to crush up the NaOH into a finer powder for a better yield but it ended up not really effecting much) but ive done it many times since then and i get it on my skin quite often but the most its done to me is start to feel like fiberglass on my skin but by then i usually rinse it off quickly
My chemistry teacher told us that if you get NaOH on your hand, it will react with the fat on your skin and turn it into soap.
I now know how to lose weight and be clean at the same time!
It's called "saponification"
Yeah you can dissolve people with lye
It's also part of why it feels slippery when you get some solution on your hand!
Soap + glycerol! 😂
Thank you, Sir. Every video offered here is always a learning experience!
Thoisoi and Thoisoi2, your production value keeps going up. I'm amazed at the depth of your educational show. Keep it up! :)
you should get some international prize for this educative channel you are editing.i absolutely love your videos.

"This chemical is not from our planet." Discusses chemicals obtained and made only on our planet.
Right? I feel like something got lost in translation
@@hazode To be truthful, his title would have to be something boring like "This chemical cannot exist naturally on Earth."
@@TKing2724 I think that's fair example of what the video should be titled.. I think it IS a translation problem though. His video's don't normally have fully click-baity titles.
he could have gone to mars and showed the chemical not reacting in mars atmosphere. but that might be a little more than the budget for these videos. someone get elon musk to fund such a video
@@BenRoyce Alternately, he could have just not clickbaited the title of the video.

Impressive chemistry, thanks for such great content for all these years !
I really love this type of video. Lots of REALLY good information. Keep up the good work, sir.
The best chemistry channel , I subbed this channel on the first video I saw in the channel , since then always learning something new , keep up the good work sir ^_^
excellent video!! the content is very interesting, I really learnt a lot, thanks!
Great Videos as usual Thoisoi!
Dubbed: "Oh, hi everyone" lol, I love your content.
Dude I love this guy's accent along with him on video reminds me of the 80's 90's safety videos were those where the days when it was common to smoke inside your high school chemistry lab and not give a second taught.....😉
I have to work with sodium hydride frequently in lab. Even in solvents that you think are dry and contain no water can release a loud hissing sound when it gets added and reacts with trace water. It is a VERY powerful base, and is used to remove protons from things like alcohols, even very weakly protic ones and to form ethers.
F.y.i. Sec-butyl lithium is also quite flamable in the air, particularly if the moisture content thereof is high, and has similar reactivity towards cellulosic materials like paper, cloth or alcohols, as well as water! I used to work with such reagents in the lab, and once accidently ignited a paper towel with just regular N-butyl lithium residue from a syringe! Also, NaH can be easily handled and transferred in the air IF it has first been mixed with mineral oil, which forms a sort of crumbly powder. The NaH-oil is then 'washed' in a flask under argon with hexane or pentane several times to prepare it for use in a subsequent chemical reaction.
Nice video! Keep up the great work!👍
Well, that was a frightening demonstration!
This is a fantastic video, shame I missed it at the time but glad I just got to watch it!
Sodium hydride (NaH) and t-BuLi have a frightening degree of reactivity (or, to be exact, pyrophoricity) comparable to, for example, the whyte allotropic form of phosphorus. Supposing you live in a location where the air humidity is high, and you opened up a bottle of the NaH. The risk of spontaneous ignition is present, unless you had special measures in place to minimize the moisture content of the air. Mankind, with his level of ingenuity, has harnessed energy in its various forms, and has devised chemical technologies to overcome the kinetic and thermodynamic barriers associated with bond-breaking and atomic rearrangement. Such is mankind's advancement that it has become possible to break and/or form bonds to form compounds and elements that are so chemically reactive that they can never otherwise exist under natural conditions on planet Earth. I find it interesting that, despite the 'antisocial' or 'evil' nature of incredibly reactive reagents like t-BuLi, they are, nonetheless, very useful reagents in the organic chemistry or inorganic chemistry laboratory, and they also play an important role in the development and production of new materials that benefit our everyday lives.
My favorite chemist! You must have ALL the reagents!!!!
Check out ChemicalForce, he has EVERYTHING!
This guy should be teaching in Harvard. The best channel!
Your videos bring back happy memories of my Chemistry studies at University.
Always impressed and terrified after watching your videos!
not a chemist but i'm amazed at the ability to 'cook' different things by placing molecules where you want...i kinda do that with food but not nearly as hard. 🤔😀
Basically most elements are not from earth, they all formed in stars' nuclear reactions
Unless you went and retrieved them all from said stars, they're "from earth"
@@MadScientist267 He is somewhat correct but not totally some elements mostly heavy came on earth by supernova explosion of stars. This elements can only be formed inside the highly dense cores of stars by nuclear fusion.
@@siddheshsingabhatti4025 Yes. And like I said, unless someone *went and got them* they came from the Earth far as we're concerned. Corn is grown in a field... But most people pick theirs up at the store. The corn is therefore "at the store" because effectively, that field is out of reach.
@@MadScientist267 I said "basically"
@@MadScientist267 Yeah it depends on the viewers perspective though we were not able to view what happened as life didn't existed that time and even if it would have existed we won't be alive to tell that 😂😂, but we still can't ignore the fact. Your example of corn is good but still you can't ignore the reality that it came from a farm. Depends on you whether you accept or not.❤️❤️
Great video Thoisoi. Chemistry was always my favourite subject at college
This was an interesting watch. Good stuff, sir.
12:16 One remarkable thing I noticed is the danger signs all around that bottle.
Love the cat clips at the end 🐈 👌
Wow, some amazing presentations! Very interesting results to see in person instead of just being described in literature.
"I wanna do some work with the TBL" "Well you can piss off to Mars then.."
Thank you for sharing about super alkalis, and also your new presentation format is awesome 👌
Unique and real science channel in the whole Internet 😍
Love your channel!!! ❤❤👍👍 Was asking myself one thing, is the voiceover your real voice in English?👍👍 If so, great keep up the good work.
That's his real voice. He used a voice actor once and just wasn't right.
@Peter Larkin I remember that🤣. To add to that he was a bit embarrassed about his accent in the past and the viewers find it charming. His voice only adds the content and makes the videos that much more fascinating. The best way to continue leaning is by practicing. We all reassured him that he should continue as before. There's not been a voice actor since
Thku so much for all your videos
Hg can be found as native metal in Northern California. The natural cinnabar is so rich it contains metallic mercury.
finally thx bro I am from Pakistan and love your video.may Allah protect u and give u health and long life. because of you I understood chemicals well. FUN FACT: they say that Elements found on Earth and Mars are exactly the same.
Maybe we should take a look at the definition of the word "element" as it pertains to matter that makes up the planets... 🤦♂️
@@MadScientist267 lol
@@fisher9943 lol See? 🤣
Another curiosity: Chemistry comes from the Orient alchemy (from Oriental alchemists, obviously), and as many other things from Islamic culture, it's dedicated to Allah. I know you know it but I'm sure that several people who read the comments doesn't know it. 😉
This channels teaches us a lot
Your the best chemistry Teacher online. So good. Excellent work 👍
Love your channel.
I'm going to try Google's closed captions, they have annoying bugs. If you could CC your content it would be beneficial to many. Edit- Google cc worked quite fine. Thank you, great content. Great video. Which ever translates best!
Glad ur back
keep up the great vids bro
I have used tBuLi in many scale-up reactions (60 - 100 mL), mainly when needing to do a lithium-halogen exchange to generate an organolithium reagent from an alkyl iodide. Spooky stuff indeed. We even limited the scale of one of our reactions to the amounts of mole in a 100 mL titrated tBuLi bottle once, in order to not have to handle it with a syringe. The publication will be out soon !
i can’t change the channel without asking alexa.
When will be this "soon"? Or it's already published? :)
@@scarletevans4474 Hi! This work has been published yes! If you want a more in-depth detail of this large-scale use of tBuLi, I have made a podcast episode on the Synthesis Workshop channel, please look up "Synthesis workshop tomatidine" and you should be able to find it! I have included pictures and in-depth details of the setup! The publications are also referenced in there :) enjoy!
thank you thoisoi! much love from the U.S.!

Good and Infomative video
Sodium Hydroxide + Fat = Soap. (another Fight Club theme!) If it gets on your fingers, they feel slippery because the skin dissolves. Use Vinegar!
I just realized you have a channel where you show your face, now I like your videos even better
Wow!! Thank you!! We are always reminded how dangerous super acids are. But after watching the flame from the reaction of super alkali, it is better to leave the reactions (too!!) to proper trained chemists.
@4:10 I was picturing the world before the great oxidation event, wondering if it would have been shining and glittery, and put my iPad down just as this happened! I thought I broke it! 🤪😂😂😂
8:48 when i see that 'beans pot' i say this gonna be dangerous
You should probably address your community channel 😅
confused the hell out of me
Yeah, that was bizarre
Yeah that was weird
Money talks
First time seeing your face and I gotta admit I really got confused whether if you're dubbing the guy on the screen lol. Even though I am completely ignorant about all the stuff you say. I still watch all your videos. Love your content man keep it up
Wow that is some volatile stuff. Reminded me of a kitchen grease fire starting but...keeps self igniting which would be terrifying to encounter.
Where did you get your Periodic table its the best I've seen.
3:25 we do find other native metals on the earth ! Iron do come sometimes in nuggets ! Mercury can be found in its native form in some mines as well ! Still, I love your work, keep it going !
I just love how he says "saliution"!
Let's go , my favourite channel ❤️
Me too
Russian, the only accent I could listen to all day 😋.. Love finding out about elements and chemical reactions I'd never have any idea about.. Especially as you have the education etc to know exactly what you are doing.. Always interesting
Sodium peroxide fusion can dissolve silica crystal matrix, which is a relatively new method for HF-absent analysis of silicates and other difficult matrices. Such an instrument could be purchased from CLAISSE and it can be used for staging samples for XRF (fused discs) or ICP-MS (when the fused disc is "thrown" into a regular acid, no HF). It's so exciting because I hate HF. But like the topic of your video, this is an example where the extreme reactivity of alkali metals was used to make a common process safer.
Glad to see you still have control of your channel 🤣🤣
Ikr
Nice vid man👍
Great video!
I had a job once where I had to wipe surfaces down with a dilute NaOH solution when I was young, the employer was garbage because they never had any PPE so there were no gloves to use etc. My fingers started burning after a day. By the third day I quit. But the burning continued after I quit. I lost all of my fingerprints. Soon I realized that despite washing them well, I still had to neutralize the skin. Vinegar to the rescue, immediate relief. My skin healed but I still didn't have any fingerprints for about three months. During that time I started a new job where I needed to be fingerprinted by the FBI... It was amusing to see those bald smears of ink on the paper.
Love your vids
Great channel by the way
So we just gonna ignore the community post ?
1:30 yes i do use the platform although i use it in free version only but it's a great one
Great channel.
i like your style :D and the content
I've read the CsOH can etch glass. Did you try that?
Some chemicals should never, ever, be exposed to the ear.
Now imagine mixing the tert-dunno-lithium with Fluroantimonic acid, you would actually create a mana potion
Chemical Force has done it
I enjoy your videos sir.👍
Oh i almost forgot about the existence of this channel 😅😅
Plz make different type ( new exotics Information ) of Video on NaK . Is there any similar alternative to Nak ! Like LiK , LiNa , CsK , CsNa , CaK , CaNa or LiCa , LiCs etc in liquid form at Normal Room temp ?
