- This video covers what radioactivity is, and in particular what alpha, beta and gamma emission is. I also cover the notation used to represent radioactive emission.

Now this a spectacular way to teach what radioactivity is . The systematic logic made it so interesting and easy to understand . thank you
Thanks
After watching this video: “you know I’m something of a nuclear scientist myself.”
?.
😂 😂 😂

Awesome video. Best I've seen so far 👏
well done! i always look forward to your videos :)
Great explanation! Radioactivity explained in simple way that anyone can understand it. Thanks!
You’re welcome
Just starting a degree in Radiotherapy. I don't understand this topic at all but I came across your video and has really helped me understand some stuff now. Love for the help and explanation
Good luck mate ✌️
Amazing 👏 sucks it took me till I was 30 to gain an understanding on a topic "taught" to me in highschool
You made it so simple. Thanks!
Thanks bro you explanation is so simple
Easy to understand, well I alredy knew this, but I think anyone can understand it!
Nicely explained
very well explained thank you
Thank you very much, i surely won't be able to remember all but now i understand a little bit better what are radiations. I guess i'll come back to strenghen what i learn today.
So i will be a little bit able to explain this to my children.
You’re welcome
Woah this was very helpful thank you so much for this video
You’re welcome
You should do an audiobook on this topic... this is all really fascinating
Thank you for the video. I don't understand one thing, let's assume that we had atom with mass number of 3 and atom number of 2, and If we know that in the beta decay mass number stays the same and only atom number changes, does that mean that the nuclei of the atom will never get to the stable state and we will have indefinite decay ? (I am pretty sure that I am missing something)
thanks for the detailed video, the beta Particle that deflected, in the magnetic filed(will it be Beta minus or meta plus?)
He says at 21:30 that it’s “not a positron”
This video has been useful.
Hello sir
In the alpha decay of uranium 238 the newly formed element is also short by 2 electrons. Where do these electrons go in the process?

I have a question. How come all models of an atoms nucleus for the exceptions if a few very light particles like alphas, deuterium, & protium show the nucleus as a jumble mess kinda like a plum pudding model applied to the nucleus. I highly doubt that to be the case. I think it also explains way a helium nucleus is the standard alpha particle. What does the tritium nucleus really look like in a 3D model at what opposing angles are these baryons at in that case and does it scale. Is this the key to isotope stability?
Keep waiting for an amswer
😂😂😂
Random and spontaneous. Orbits are not random, but I guess they are pushed around by the vacuum fluctuations causing random event like radioactive decays. But where does this seemingly randomnes of the vacuum fluctuations really come from ? Is it comparable to brownian motion or the noise from electrons jittering around in a conductor ?
Concept clear 👍👍
thanks
Trying to create a manga power system that focuses on radioactive powers so I’m doing a TON of research.
Very useful
Thank you
Welcome 😊
Thank you
Thank you! My 7 year old asked about how the get electricity. Which led down a rabbit hole about nuclear energy.... radiation.... Chernobyl...
Lit video 🙏
I have enjoyed
Why is lead stable and realeses almost no radiation when number of neutrons is much more than protons
That's really a good question. after watching this video I think of 2 possible options:
1) the amount of protons and neutrons in new Pb atom is just enough for a strong force to keep it together.
2) It may be actually unstable for the first time but then there is some type of a gamma decay after so that in the end Pb will become a low energy Pb and then it's point 1 again - strong force can keep it together.
I wonder how close am I though ?
Because you’re not factoring in the electrons
I don’t understand almost half of this but I love this kind of stuff
Yes it is that
Cool but isnt it dangerous to hold uranium in hands if its that radioactive?
Shhhh,
Man speaking.
People fear radioactivity too much. You respect it, like anything else. I imagine that since radiation is everywhere, that our bodies probably even depend on it to some degree, generating radicals and ionizing stuff, so if we isolated them from radioisotopes completely, might cells actually do worse or even get quite sick or die? Too little could be bad, much as too much is!
If you define the word nuclei before starting your explanation, you will have tons of more people understanding and watching the whole video.
does radiation explain why my left ear is hearing more than my right?
"what is radioactivity?"
*raises hand*
a song by kraftwerk, duh! ;)
Hahaha
My dad owns kraftwerk William, duh! ;)
i own kraftwerk William, duh! ;)
Great video. I don't understand why the radiation is dangerous though? Don't we already have protons and neutrons in our bodies already? Why do these particles cause harm? Thanks.
Because the radiation can penatrate deep into our tissue, and cause harm to the very fragile DNA.material and lead to very bad mutations. It can cause, and as. we know of nowx it does cause cancerand overall is just very destabilizing for our body's natural way of functioning.
@@uramijajlovic5444 thanks for the reply. Makes sense.
@@billybobhouse9559 Welcome! 😁 There's great research on the internet so you can search that up if it interests you.
In 16:13 I guess you're talking about neutron not proton
Are we just going to ignore the fact that he just handled a plastic container without safety goggles?
High as in "High School" or high as in smokey smoke.
It’s in the air for you and me
Origins of evolution
So if beta radiation is for smaller atoms,i why Caesium 137 ended up producing beta decay and lefted positrons as a residue in Dark serie? hahahahaha
i had to stop it made me sleepy
6:22 you drew your plot the wrong way around
How am I the only person who noticed?
I don’t see what’s wrong with the plot. It’s a graph of protons vs neutrons. For larger atoms, there tends to be more neutrons, so the graph will curve upward (since he has neutrons on the y-axis or vertical axis)
This is confusing I’m here because of the Marshall island 🏝️
I am more confused now than before I watched this, no help whatsoever

A good teacher always talks slowly and clearly. You speak too fast. Most people cannot absorb fast speech and learn.
Too complicated.
No way I’m watching a 25 minute video just to know what radioactive is, LIKE WHY CANT YOU MAKE A 1 MINUTE VIDEO AND SIMPLY SAY WHAT RADIOACTIVITY IS?!?
