Look Around You, Season 1

Narrator:
Here is a model of a calcium molecule. Do you recognise the triple helix? If you do, write it down.

Narrator:
The protons feed electrical information to the core of the molecule, where we find the central atom, or 'Queen Atom'. Were the Queen Atom to leave the molecule, or nest, the effects would be disastrous, as the entire structure would come tumbling down. This is known as the Helvetica Scenario. Shows a black and white German horror film of a scientist observing a man with no face trapped behind a window

Narrator:
The calcium has reacted with the sodium chloride to produce calcium chloride. Because calcium chloride is a conductor, the little lamp lights. (black liquid oozes from lamp) Small quantities of Thomason's oil segnomin are also produced.
