Fascinating and painless chemistry lessons
I had to select this video on the element rutherfordium because of the New Zealand link of the scientist the element is named after.
It’s an interesting short lesson on rutherfordium and there is more where it came from – in fact one short video lesson for every element in the periodic table! Click on the image below to go to the interactive version of the periodic table.
You can find out more about the people who produced these videos from this University of Nottingham web site – Periodic Videos
This is a great, painless, way to learn some interesting chemistry.

The Fly in the Cathedral by Brian Cathcart (http://www.amazon.com/The-Fly-Cathedral-Scientists-International/dp/0374157162) is an excellent read and gives a candid account of the story behind Rutherford’s “splitting” of the atom.
