Alpha Decay

[@sadafsharif2173]

You've taught me more in 13 minutes and seven seconds than my teacher has in an entire semester

[@evelynvrsek5619]

lol just learned all th info for my test in 13 minutes

Hey everyone, I'm here to help. If you have any questions or just want to learn more, click on the link in the description above. It'll take you to a page where you can ask me questions.

[@ganafashions5337]

Sir I have a doubt..do we have to buy heart every element to find out the symbol of that atomic number during examination...how could that be possible...is there any alternative...please respond please

I just had to pause in the middle of the video, just to say that I absolutely, of course, feignedly love you to freaking death. I even hugged my computer and kept repeating "I love this man" The way you teach with details and extreme simplicity is beautiful, I have denied myself the privilege to watch any other chemistry youtuber, if not you...Unless, of course, you do not have a video on the subject I'm looking for. Please, proceed with these detailed and simple videos, I love them and they save me. I wish I could hug you, just to truly show how grateful I am to you.

[@安妮Bei]

This man, this legend, just single handedly saved me from failing Chemistry. It's exceedingly difficult to find other explanations as comprehensible and detailed as these. Thank you so much!

[@markeechannel8822]

What happen to the electron after alpha decay takes place?

[@tdewitt451]

@Scottslover1 That's exactly right. An alpha particle is the exact same thing as a Helium nucleus without any electrons.

I am so blessed to have found you. I want you to know the significant impact you have on all chem students who have a difficult time with certain concepts. You are not only spreading knowledge - you are changing lives. Thank you so much.

[@DebraWetherell]

You're a superstar, Tyler. I'm new to this at age 54 - never even heard this stuff before - I was an arty student in the past, and I just took this up as an intellectual pastime... you make it sound so simple. I'm actually getting it - and I never thought of myself as having a science brain. Thank you!

[@gragraksg5864]

What happens with electrons? Alpha particle takes away 2 protons, so new nuclues is left with 2 excess electrons?

[@LebannersHook]

Question: I know the Alpha particle has no electrons. Then does Uranium decay into an Alpha particle and a negatively charged ion of Thorium or are two electrons were shed along side the alpha particle in order to avoid becoming a charged Thorium atom? I love these videos by the way!

[@KarbineKyle]

I've wondered that myself. What happens with the electrons? I think it has to do with Marcus Theory.

[@faiqaashfaq8928]

LebannersHook I've been searching for the answer to this question all along..

i believe alpha radiation is able to ionize and therefore at least some of the alpha particles lack electrons but what also could be the ejection speed rips away electrons from either the atom or the alpha particle. i suspect there is some chaos and then a recombination but that sounds like all that electrons do

[@snenjabuloarmy5831]

Its 2022 and this guy helped me pass my chemistry test

[@danielcarvo5993]

After undergoing alpha decay, does the new element become an anion? I'm considering this because the number of electrons appears to remain unchanged. Thank you!
