Nuclear Transmutation Part 1

To see all my Chemistry videos, check out
socratic.org/ch...
This is also known as nuclear transformation. We can create new elements by slamming (also known as bombarding) atoms with protons, neutrons, alpha particles, and other atoms. This can be used to create new synthetic transuranium elements.

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.

[@MargotLOVEDyan]

Tyler DeWitt...I am just finding these videos and I LOVE THEM! I'm in my final semester of Nuclear Medicine Technology Program and I have used your videos as a tool this whole time. You rock!

[@sumama4835]

Thanks for making this easy to understand!

[@Arkeshan]

@@sumama4835 but are the atoms ions? Since you will only get protons and neutrons and no electrons?

[@sumama4835]

@@Arkeshan Let me get back with u on that hun. Honestly, I've bombarded my brain with so much information lately sometimes I have to go back and read again to remember it all. I watched this to help me understand some books I'm reading about astrology, alchemy, dimensions and quantum physics and cellular language. I needed a little bit of each of it for a project I'm working on! Lol

[@marktobias1442]

Tyler, you're awesome. I'm studying for a Finals and chapter chem test all together and you teach so clearly. Thank you so much for all you do to share your knowledge. Keep going! I hope you become a teacher someday.

[@medoajb9916]

So happy when I see Tyler Dewitt has a video for a topic that I am looking for ... Tyler is better than thousands teachers.

[@liladoesfanfics4817]

Went to this video to re-learn the topic to be able to 'help' my brother, and just by the first two examples you showed me I was capable of remembering the majority of everything I learned about the topic. Thank you for your work!

[@DickMcButts]

Hey Tyler, I saw your Ted Talk and needless to say I was very impressed. you could perhaps change the way science is taught forever. -DickMcButts

Tyler you are awesome Have Biosafety exams tomorrow and this video is good for me.

[@apples54321]

Hey mate, at around 4:20 you said 19 by accident when it was 18. That aside, great video - it's easy to follow your thought process and learn with you, and on a very interesting topic I might add

[@lalalalololo1280]

Hey bro can you explain to me why it is 17 and 8 not 18 and 9 😶, im confused 😅

[@isabelreyesjg]

You really help me understand chemistry, I am soo greatful and happy to have come across your videos 💪 Thank You

[@jasonbensonmusic]

Dude, I dont even take chemistry at all but I must say that Your skill to teach is very effective🙏🏽keep up the great work man☀️➕

[@ronanwalker6807]

@@astrolight5708 You could turn Plantinum into gold though. IDK why you would want to do that, it would be worth less than it was, but you could.

[@cherielektra]

basically chemical exfoliation. like using various sanding grits on wood and how it will change the porosity.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

Jokes on alchemists. Lead actually does become gold all on its own, you just have to wait 10^30 or some insane number of years.

[@menulifernando3574]

this is soo helpful! couldn't understand a thing before watching this video.. thank YOU

Good work

[@gwynevirdagoro7792]

This video is of big help to me. You explain things well and clear. God bless you!

[@maryjanecahayagan3603]

What I have learned is that nuclear reaction is a combination of neutrons however the synthesis of new elements is that a combination of another element, for example the hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O) ;if ypu combine it, this will lead to a result of water then the symbol for water is H²O. THANK YOU !

[@clintonhaws8984]

The theory of alchemy and transmutation via alchemy is actually a form of Aristotelian matter. In the Rosary (1477) we read "the forms of metals cannot be transmuted unless they be reduced into their first matter." The platonist Plotinus states it (matter) is the potential for everything. Jakob Boehme - who wrote in alchemical language - says it is 'Nothing and All Things'; Bear in mind that Heisenberg in Physics and Philosophy states that there is a universal matter, an indefinite corporeal substratum underlying change and transformation, and identifies it with Aristotelian Prima Materia (First Matter). Everything is made of the same ultimate substance. That is alchemy. Period. Occam's razor; if physics looks like alchemy, sounds like alchemy, and transmutes elements, chances are it's alchemy. It's the physics of the ether.

[@muskaanmendiratta9840]

This video helped me a ton, thanks a lot! I'm a little crazy over chemistry, and I have organic chemistry on the tips of my fingers. :D I would like to request you to put up a video of atomic structure, you know, H-spectrum and photoelectric effect, etc. Will you?

[@magallanthepenguin9132]

in one of the the text from online used that word "Bombardment" and then i wonder if they were thinking of that meaning to just slam something or something from our space dropping something that will SLAM the ground with high velocity, nearly wiping out the surface. i heard this from a some kinda of game my friends play...space station dropping something objects.

[@allahmalik2010]

i want u as my chem teacher...:D

[@jayakrish4u]

Guess he was exhausted when doing this video. Good job though.

[@elizamaeargana1310]

i've learn a lot of this video it so very arrogant and easy to learn more..thank you

[@jcsmamacita]

This actually helped a lot. Thank you

[@Zizuthecreatorlamarwest]

i think if a bombard an oxygen 16 atom with a proton, it will turn into fluorine 17 atom?

[@aydenjones8051]

how do you push protons into a atom how is nuclear transmutation done and what do you do

[@ayonsaha7963]

Great tutorial man! this is so good!

[@JeffriesAnitra]

Ok I have a question. Is this like Fission and Fusion??? I'm actually looking for videos on them, and I came across this video. Now I'm confused!!!!

[@mohamedalsaadany106]

you are the best!!! keep the hard work

[@Arkeshan]

But at the end are the transmutated atoms are ions?

[@teachwithroeske9863]

So if I look at the first problem you did... why can't you just make the mass 18 and the atomic number 9 and make is Flourine instead of Oxygen????

[@StrongerEveryDay7]

What if you slam an electron to an atom? Sould it stick to the protons in the nucleous because its positive charge?

[@mrmkl9839]

It's very interesting! Where can I find all of the nuclear transmutations?

[@osamamansha1644]

How we know in which bombardment proton will release or in which neutron,In 1st proton release in second neutron so what to do with that

[@stellaluceat7335]

In your first problem, you added an alpha particle and ended up with an extra proton, but in the next problem when you added an alpha particle, you ended up with an extra neutron. How? Why? What was different that produced different results?

[@osamamansha1644]

Stella Luceat if u understand this plz help me I have an exam after a week plz help

[@stellaluceat7335]

I'm sorry. I don't understand it either. Good luck!

[@enriquerojas3747]

This helped a lot. Thank you!

[@ericxsolja]

Great video man

[@jovemaevlog8632]

You explained it clearly. Thanks 💋💋

[@jessicamahoney3908]

This one is so confusing to me. Other videos don't show "change" AND how does he know what the change is before he works the problem? Am I supposed to already know the change? Why s N-14 changed to O-8 and not F-9, with no change? The mass is off by is in both? :( I'm so lost!!

[@jasonbourne220]

instead of bombarding atoms with particles,did anyone succeed in getting rid of the valance or manipulating it?

[@nurulhidayah7740]

thank you. You make it easier to understand :)

[@Helios0Nation]

i want to ask a question please Can the particle accelerator change anything and everything into whatever element and does it need energy to work i mean sunlight or nuclear i know all of these are means to get energy but i want a precise answer please??

[@gameflux328]

Doesn't adding protons make a neutral atom a ion of itself??? How does the element change instead of becoming an ion?? Genuine doubt. Pls answer... This doubt is troubling me since last week!!! I am a 13 year old boy and I love watching your videos.. Also I have another doubt regarding ISOBARS What's the difference between isotopes and isobars and also isomers ??? After I have done watching your videos I feel like I have mastered chemistry but In my daily life I come across some doubts which I am not able to solve.. These doubts are one of them!!! Waiting in anticipation, Yours truly, Xyz please answer if you have read this... Please

[@vaibhavisawant5081]

Same doubt..

[@vaibhavisawant5081]

Pls answer.. Tyler

[@b0ls.]

An element is defined by the amount of protons it has therefore when you change the proton number, the element changes.

[@mesh681]

Game Flux and atom becomes an ion when there is loss of electron or gain of electron while over here it is just dealing with protons and neutron

[@kalebscott282]

An ion is represented by a gain or loss of electrons, not a change in protons

[@ayeshaakoonjee3695]

This really helped me😩♥️

[@dababy9857]

pretty helpful ngl

[@davidalexander3352]

The Alpha particle is different t an Helium atom?

[@griffingibson4389]

Why not negatively charge your metal before slamming your proton into it?

[@zak7181]

it's not about the charge that the whole atom has (the negative electrons from the electron shell and the positive protons in the nucleus), it's about getting them to slam into the nucleus which is always positively charged. (it already got past the electrons before that point)

[@griffingibson4389]

+Zak Druzba if you negatively charge something doesn't that mean it has less electrons surrounding it to interfere with collision of protons?

[@zak7181]

negatively charged would mean more electrons (each new electron is -1 charge)

[@griffingibson4389]

+Zak Druzba there's negative and positive electrons is what your saying? or do you mean positively charged means there's less electrons?

[@zak7181]

electrons are negative (positrons would be positive but that's anti-matter and another subject). If the atom has a positive charge that means it's lacking electrons (which makes it an ion -- any time the protons and electrons don't even out, that's an ion; if there are more protons than electrons, then it's positive).

[@Melloyallo3434]

How do you know that it is an atom of oxygen? it could also be an atom of carbon with 2 protons . . .

[@amrkhaled7346]

Helped me alot thanks ❤❤❤

[@rodrigohuallanca662]

awesome

[@s3ntry948]

How to do this in practice?

[@briannahoff8589]

Can someone explain the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear transmutation??

[@s200029928]

Doesn't proton repels when bombarded in an atom? Please advise

[@IceCreamMilkshake777]

The force causing the collision of the proton is stronger than the charge of the proton due to intense amount of heat provided.

I ratter not use the word bombard/bombardment/bombardly or something like the text stated cuz my teacher doesn't see me as a "English guy" and so I had to use simpler terms :l If I do use the bombard in some form of text, then my teacher thinks that I copied and pasted lol
