What are Alpha, Beta and Gamma Decay?

[@mirandabailey857]

Such a clear and helpful video! My eight-year-old loved it and wanted to solve a bunch of decay reactions for fun after watching! Yay! 😊❤

[@Chemin10]

I love this! Have her ready my fiction book Rocket Girls: The Case of the Missing Uranium for more! www.amazon.com/Rocket-Girls-Gold-Missing-Uranium/dp/1737500914/

[@mars4ever]

There are some errors here. Pa is protactinium and not palladium (that is Pd), and the decay doesn't necessary leads to a more stable atom! Elements from 84 to 89 are way more radioactive than Th232 and U238 or even U235.

[@FreGZile]

I think you've made a mistake, Th-234 decays into Proactinium 234 not Promethium. Great video though.

[@andrew299m]

I caught the same mistake too

[@somebody759]

How do you calculate the energy release in Gamma Decay?

[@appahoopjack2514]

During Alpha Decay, when a Helium Nucleus is ejected, do 2 Electrons go with it???

[@matheuscecilio6293]

I have a question. I understand that the mass and the charge balance are necessary, but it is not totally clear to me what happens to the number of electrons in beta decays. In 8:08, you show the equation: Po (z = 84, A = 218) ---> At (z = 85, A = 218) + beta particle Before the emission, we have a neutral atom. So, the number of electrons is the same as protons. (84 electrons) After the reaction, we still have a neutral atom, which has 85 protons, so... 85 electrons + the beta particle = 86 electrons Before the emission we have 84 electrons and after the emission we have 86 electrons. Isnt't the number of electrons supposed to increase just 1 unit? Where am I getting it wrong? Thanks!

thanks! very helpful for my science exam tmr !!

[@luxembourgcool]

Pd is Palladium,Pa is Proactinium

[@longbeachboy57]

Pa (element 91) is actually protactinium. Palladium is element 46, Pd. Otherwise a flawless explanation.

[@honeybee2145]

Very detailed and clear explanation. Thank you.

[@finallyy3959]

Really very very thanks to u madam for clear explanation of beta decay

[@senthilrajkumar9939]

Excellent and simplified explanation. In electron capture the atomic number decreases?!!.. Isn't

[@faithmontana2445]

Reviewing for my chem final. Thank you so much

[@ravitanwani770]

Thanks for explaining clearly alpha,beta and gamma radiations carefully.

So is it possible to produce electric energy by starting off with a sealed Neutron Tube to provide single Neutrons that are (as we know) unstable; These lone Neutrons would then under go Beta decay & become Protons, while also emitting an electron & an Anti-Electron Neutrino. Next, we could guide the Proton to hit a solid, super-heavy element, as a target. When the Proton hits it, it is transmuted up to the next element on the Periodic Table. Perhaps this new element might become unstable & immediately decay, causing the emission of a Positron. The Positron (which in Anti-Matter) can be guided by magnets in a vacuum-sealed tube to a gaseus chamber where it comes in contact with ordinary matter. This results in Annihilation of the Matter & Anti-Matter; producing a massive amount of thermal energy. The thermal energy can then be converted to electricity via Therm-Electric Generators. & this provision of electricity can be used for our electrical needs. Does anyone know if this is (A) possible & (B) a cost effective method of electrical power generation? Please inform me. & Thank you.

[@dr.mhusain2605]

I think beta decay is based on fermions that up and down thing from which protons and neutrons are made can anyone make it sure?

[@lowkey_entertaining9723]

I need specification on minus and plus beta decay

[@theundertaker1239]

If radium undergoes alpha decay then it will form radon which has 2 more electrons which then becomes negatively charged

[@unitedspacepirates9075]

With all the alpha decays going on around the world, can anyone explain the recent increase in the cost of helium?

[@Kayla-ns7lm]

Thank you, I found this very helpful in writing up notes for my upcoming exam :)

[@clayjesiah4067]

i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!

[@utkarshkataria4005]

Simply awesome....👌👌u really simplified this concept very well...thanks.

[@sciencetechnology9153]

Please correct the mistake it's proactanium. Not palladium

[@linearstream]

This only gives a factory worker level understanding of decay. I was looking for something that explained the circumstances under which decay happens. When and how do atoms become unstable. Also, chemists, why use HE instead of an alpha symbol. That confuses the issue.

[@AA-xc7sm]

This was so helpful. Thank you a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@lennycards]

Very good and thorough explanation, thank you!

[@carloemmanuel520]

Great Vid.. Thanks for explaining it well, and not overcomplicating.

[@anshikanandal882]

9:01 how can we call it isotope it should be isobar

[@vamsirockzz8802]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@anshikanandal882]

Can alpha and beta decay take place at the "same time "?

[@sujathanatraj422]

Absolutely loved it. Very helpful. Thank you Chem in Ten

[@markandrews1219]

Beta Decay of Th-234 does not change into Paladium.......91 is Proactinium

[@JLukeHypernova]

no Iron man then?
