  • Understanding Sodium
    Sodium carbonate comes from the Natron desert just to the West of the Nile. Tracking it back it gives some nice chemistry that explains the clear Egyptian art so far underground. In what can only be described as a mess it also gives the N of Nitrogen, the gensis of nitrogen http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Understanding%20Sodium/Understanding%20Sodium.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Understanding%20Sodium/Understanding%20Sodium.mp3.mp3

  • The element antimony is "anti monk"!
    Antimony - antimonk! This is a look at the periodic table through the lens of desperate dyslexia. Go Rb Ra Re Ru and Rh. Apolgies to Sweden. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Sb%20the%20monk%20killer/Sb%20the%20monk%20killer.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Sb%20the%20monk%20killer/Sb%20the%20monk%20killer.mp3.mp3 There is more information about the etymology of antimony. It comes from antimoine in French, which means monk-killer or anti-monk. Most of the early chemists and scientists were monks, and many perished in view of the element’s highly toxic properties. There is also a word in Greek, antimonos, which means “against one”. This is taken to mean “not observed in metal”.  http://www.elementsdatabase.com/Antimony-Sb-51-element/

  • Moon in the Periodic Table
    Some hard of hearing Ancient Greeks made Arsenic mean Masculine. Selenium I havent heard of except for sheep having a bad-fleece-day, a bad movie, and finally its discovery by its smell and a whimsical idea of naming it after the Moon. Yes selenium is in "Head and Shoulders" https://www.headandshoulders.co.uk/en-gb/healthy-hair-and-scalp/non-category-dandruff/head-and-shoulders-anti-dandruff-shampoo-ingredients http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Moon%20in%20the%20Periodic%20Table/Moon%20in%20the%20Periodic%20Table.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Moon%20in%20the%20Periodic%20Table/Moon%20in%20the%20Periodic%20Table.mp3.mp3

  • Molecular Tour of SARIN
    Not a nice gas. All focus on the phosphous, the chemistry is beyond the simple lewis dot diagram http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20SARIN/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20SARIN.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20SARIN/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20SARIN.mp3.mp3

  • Molecular tour of Chocolate Bliss Drug
    Anandamide brings you joy as you nibble dark chocolate and some say makes you sharper. This is a linear molecule I have tried to recall http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Molecular%20tour%20of%20Chocolate%20Bliss%20Drug/Molecular%20tour%20of%20Chocolate%20Bliss%20Drug.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Molecular%20tour%20of%20Chocolate%20Bliss%20Drug/Molecular%20tour%20of%20Chocolate%20Bliss%20Drug.mp3.mp3

  • Molecular Tour of Mustard Gas
    The WWII supply of mustard gas was stored in Glenbrook in a tunnel just 300 m from where I am walking and talking. Rather nasty stuff http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20Mustard%20Gas/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20Mustard%20Gas.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20Mustard%20Gas/Molecular%20Tour%20of%20Mustard%20Gas.mp3.mp3

  • Rhodium liberates trapped oxygen
    It is a real trial to kick through the PGMs to bust open the Transition metals in a real battle to memorize the periodic table. But what an element, oh what great chemisty we have got happening under our cars! http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Rhodium%20liberates%20trapped%20oxygen/Rhodium%20liberates%20trapped%20oxygen.mp4 http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Rhodium%20liberates%20trapped%20oxygen/Rhodium%20liberates%20trapped%20oxygen.mp3.mp3
