Periodic Table of Elements (30 to 118)

In this science talk for bedtime, I review the periodic table of the elements methodically and explain, in simple terms, plenty of phenomena and concepts about chemistry and physics (for example, in this episode: metalloids, alpha and beta decay, Xenon poisoning of nuclear reactors...) as well as the industrial and economic relevance of some of these elements. For tonight, we continue with elements 30 to 118, including zinc, arsenic, rhodium, silver, tungsten, platinum, gold, mercury, lead, uranium, and plutonium.
