Nice chemistry youtube channels
What are some youtube channels that have nice chemical experiments and reactions I can watch (not just extreme stuff like explosions, but normal stuff
too)

Look on the Sciencemadness Wiki, if I remember correctly there is a compiled list of good YouTube channels. I'm not on a computer right now so I
can't get the exact link, just search on sciencemadness.wikia.com In addition, there is a thread here somewhere about good YouTube channels so UTSE

3 great channels I can think of are:
Nile Red (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhXFikryT4aFcLkLw2LBLA) deals mainly with synthesizing exotic reagents.
NurdRage (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIgKGGJkt1MrNmhq3vRibYA). The original YouTube scientist. He has videos on pretty much every topic from finding
the right acid to dissolve chewing gum to synthesizing Luminol entirely from household chemicals.
mrhomescientist (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZOxhZoG0cRffRp5iGSpFew) has videos on a lot of topics, with a few on metallurgy and visually pleasing reactions.
These ones should keep you going for a while!
"The chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost insane impulse to seek their pleasures amid smoke and
vapor, soot and flame, poisons and poverty; yet among all these evils I seem to live so sweetly that may I die if I were to change places with the
Persian king" - Johann Joachim Becher, 1635 to 1682.

Some additional interesting channels;
1. Periodic videos, very nice explanations and as an added bonus the professor has great hair! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtESv1e7ntJaLJYKIO1FoYw
2. Chemx, interesting organic synthesis', https://www.youtube.com/user/chemx01/featured
3. Applied Science, very interesting chemistry and engineering projects with great explanations; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCivA7_KLKWo43tFcCkFvydw

There is one that is rather informative, and has decent production value. It is "Doug's Lab". I highly recommend it, as the maker goes into detail and specifics of every single thing, like how certain reactions work, the
properties of certain chemicals, and so on. This is much better instead of the whole lame "this is x, we add y, we get z" kind of videos which are
nice but leave you thinking "how the hell did that happen?".
There's another one I like, but his work is more towards electricity rather than chemical syntheses. He's a brit with a few loose marbles, and access
to some very powerful electrical gear, which makes his channel rather humourous from time to time. He is Photonicinduction.
