Chemistry A Volatile History
Part 1: Discovering the Elements
Part 2: The Order of the Elements
Part 3: The Power of the Elements
Most docus I've watched are about light and physics so I learned quite a bit here. From the misguided theory that was "Phlogiston" to the brilliant Dmitri Mendeleev who ordered the elements and created the periodic table even though quite a number of elements were as yet undiscovered. From alchemy to chemistry and now to modern alchemy where elements are changed to new ones by adding or subtracting protons.
Where was all this when I was still in school?
Good stuff.
