About this episode

In this episode, Olimpia Pérez reviews the first twelve elements of the periodic table, explaining various scientific concepts in a calming manner for bedtime listening.

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: the structure of atoms, valence and reactivity, isotopes, allotropes, ionic compounds, the definitions of metals...) as well as the industrial and economic relevance of some of these elements. For tonight, we begin with the first twelve elements: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium and magnesium. The rest will follow in upcoming episodes.
