Top of the Table. Period...

PA169/08 They are the unlikely new stars of YouTube - from Sodium and Helium to Lithium, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Argon. University of Nottingham scientists have brought the Periodic Table into the 21st century with a bang, by posting lively video clips about every single chemical element on a new website. And 'The Periodic Table of Videos' has already proved a massive online success, appearing on the UK front page of the YouTube website and registering more than 106,000 hits in just a few days. The film about sodium - which shows the element fizzing and flaming after being dropped in water - is currently the most viewed clip, with 39,000 views. The innovative films have already earned high praise from YouTube users. 'Great idea, well executed. Thanks for taking the time,' wrote one.
