THE VIDEO SHOWS HOW EACH CHEMICAL ELEMENT IS USED
IT is the International Year of .....
The PERIODIC TABLE of ELEMENTS
BUT ~ Not many People know that !
Just like Air ~ Water ~ Land & the Sun
We take the ninety-two natural
CHEMICAL ELEMENTS from HYDROGEN (1)
To URANIUM (92) for granted !
EVERYTHING on EARTH is composed of .....
These ninety-two ELEMENTS ~ For instance
WATER (H20) is a compound of Hydrogen & Oxygen.
BUT ~ Will these ELEMENTS last for ever ?
NO ! TWELVE (shown in RED) are already
In short supply and could run out by 2100
FIVE of them are used in Smartphones !
TWENTY more (shown in YELLOW) are in .....
Limited supply and NINE of them
Are also used in making Smartphones !
Millions of Smartphones are scrapped each year
ELEMENTS are expensive to recover !
Alternative ~ more plentiful ELEMENTS
Will ~ if feasible ~ have to be used !
Never take Natural Resources for granted ~ Planet
Earth is FINITE ~ Thanks for visit comments please !
Create a BETTER WORLD for your GRANDCHILDREN !

The PERIODIC TABLE of Natural Elements was
thought out my MENDELEEV in 1869 ~ 150 years
ago. He arranged the 60 then known elements ~
in ascending order of their Atomic Weights ~ into
vertical Families (Elements with similar Chemical
properties) into a Periodic Table. He succeeded ~
where others had failed ~ because he left gaps
for new Elements which he predicted would be
discovered. He was a Genius and even predicted
some of their Chemical & Physical Properties !
One of them was RADIUM he called eka-BARIUM.
He turned up on the CURIE\'S doorstep to thank
them for discovering (isolating) it ! The History
of Science is an awesome Subject filled with very
fascinating & eccentric Characters. There are now
an additional 26 synthetic elements (93 to 118)
which are mentioned in the Video. One of them is
named MENDELEVIUM & another CURIUM ! You
will have to enlarge the NEW PERIODIC TABLE
to fully appreciate it OK ! BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡
