Any of you guys have any links to good videos? Can never find any decent videos of these tests.

Oh and you need to slap your teacher

It was 7 years ago, I'm almost over it already.

Is this Chemistry teacher a college or high school teacher?

reminds me of a quote once.

"if your teacher wasn't a failure in their feild, then why would they teach?"

Because they enjoy...teaching? If I don't make it into pharmacy school, HS chem teacher is pretty high up on my list of careers I would thoroughly enjoy.

There is only one video you need to look for:

isnt hydrogen fusion/fission the thing they cant create stably? i know we have nuclear reactors using metals ie uranium, but isnt Hydrogen the one that isnt stable and controllable?

Fusion can be done stable, but they are not close to reaching the break even point. The break even point is where the fusion reaction releases as much energy as it takes to create the fusion reaction. A huge amount of energy is to contain the plasma that is very,very hot. The US, Japan, EU, and the russians are currently planning a new type of fusion reactor, but they are currently arguing as to where to put it. I may be wrong on this, but the expected completion date is around 2015-2020.

Light elements fuse, heavy elements fission. I think the split of what can fuse / what can fission is around lead. An example of this is stars that are dying. They fuse and fission until their cores are lead.

i don?t know who to cry more for...your chemistry teacher or your English teacher....

Why don't you cry at the fact that you can't tell an error in english from a typo?

Stable meaning roughly 1-2 seconds worth right?
