Thank you for your most engaging,entertaining and informative video. I'm a 49yo man with Aspergers Syndrome, and Nuclear Physics has always been one of my most abiding obsessions. I didn't have access to a computer until relatively recently-and I'm absolutely gobsmacked about how much one can learn on Wikipedia, YT etc. My only resources before that were text books which, compared to computers, are extremely pedestrian and highly limited with respect to educating oneself. I have a very sophisticated knowledge of important subjects such as History,Politics,Science,Geography,etc. I excelled at school, though I didn't go to University- so I have no letters after my name, but I don't consider that to be an overwhelming disadvantage. Being an autodidact, I have the freedom to study whatever I wish, at my own pace- though my own pace is somewhat frenetic. I've been told that I would excel in Academia and, if I had my time again, I would definitely formalise my education. I have many and varied interests- which is what prevented me from going to University in the first place all those years ago. I am entirely bereft of any artistic aptitude, though I do love writing- which, I'm told, some people regard as a form of art. If that's true, then I'm very artistic indeed. Now that I can access this highly informative technology, I've decided to write a book which, I can assure everybody, will both entertain and inform. In the meantime, I'll focus upon broadening my education- one Nuclear Physics video at a time;-)
You're most welcome, my friend. Thank you for your fantastically educational and edifying videos. I love learning-it's like a drug to me- I can't get enough of it. I believe that once you stop learning- you stop living. There are certain subjects which I find particularly enthralling, and have no trouble remembering almost every detail with consummate ease. There are, however, some subjects in which I have little interest, such as economics, literature, music- and no matter how hard I try, I can't retain any knowledge or information about them. I love learning via Y.T, it's so much easier- especially with demonstrations such as yours. Thank you again. Richard Hiller.
Richard, I love that you have found a passion in learning. It keeps the brain alive and engaged! We all have a lot to learn about so many topics. Best wishes following your dream of learning more and more every day!
and THIS .... This video here, and the DUDE that put his TIME into making such videos, is WHY I am at the level of knowledge that I have today. Internet is the BEST university! and it's people like THIS is why! Open Knowlegde, open source, open learning... that is the only way our species is going to progress. THANK YOU for your help in bettering mankind!
I had an exam..I was meant to fail that but fell across your vids. Let's just say, within about an hr you taught more than my teacher in about a year. I love u (no homo) BUT I LOVE U
Thank you soooooo much!!!! This helped me so much! My AP Chemistry teacher tried to teach us all of nuclear chemistry in two days and he didn't do a very good job...you explained it very clearly and you totally saved my life. Thank you again!
Wow! you couldnt have explained it any better than this!! This video deeply explained radition for anyone with no knowldge of radiation. I am a visual learner so it take extra studying for me to figure out certain topis and this was very helpful. I am a Chemistry major so i will definitly be seeing your videos :) Thanks!
Dude, you're freaking awesome!! You explained in a few minutes what my chemistry instructor took two class periods to do... Now I got a better understanding... Thank you
Simply the best! You're much better than my teacher and tutor. It's so amazing how you can sum up big topics into a few minutes and still manage to mention every detail! Thank you! You're literally my saviour in science! 😍☺👌
Luam Abraha Luam, thanks for the kind words and just for leaving feedback. I'm so happy to have helped you. You in a difficult class, and know that even my students needed to watch my videos occasionally too. Please keep me posted and keep up the winning and successful attitude.
Now I just realized why gamma photons have that name. It gives off ridiculous amounts of radioactive decay! To remember it, I think of the flares of blue that occur when they burst (think energy; then releasing). Wish us luck, Mr. Post!
I know very little about chemistry, and yet I learned quite a bit - - and with great understanding - - from this thoroughly enjoyable video! I'm going to stick with you...Thanks!!!
Very helpful! Thank you for this video. P.S., the part where you said: "Whereas Radioactive describes the atom, radiation is an actual thing" was a bit confusing, but luckily I got it!
Thx for the huge props bro. It always feels good when a viewer gets it. I'm stoked for you, go and tell your prof all about nuclear chemistry. Lots of other chem vids here, check them out. Peace.
THANK YOU, I HOPE GOD BLESSES YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE FOR TEACHING ME THIS. I was ready to cry when my teacher first introduced me to nuclear chemistry, because I needed to maintain an all A report card. But now I at least have an idea of what is going on. THERE IS HOPE.
My book mentions positrons as one of the particles released (while talking about radiation). Can you explain a bit on that? How does that fit in with these? Thank you.
Wow it will help me a lot while doing the project on radioactivity and half life.I pretty much know this stuff but this is a nice explanation for my co students who dont know anything about science.
Thank you so much, this was easier than understanding it in Norwegian! Im sorry, but I don't even like science, but this, anyway, made it so much better!!
Question: Beta Particles- You mentioned that when a neutron turns into a proton or vice versa, en electron is created and emitted. Is the electron that's emitted, newly created or is it one of the electrons that was already part of the atom?
+Lex Godinez HI this might be not one of the easiest explanation , but when an isotope have odd proton no. and odd neutron no. then they are mostly unstable.. stable combination for this types of cases are H, Li, B and N {tip you can memorize it they have atomic number respectively 1,3, 5 and 7:) }. Hope this may be helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For everybody who is confused about the Gamma radiation: When the atom loses the Alpha particle and the electron, it becomes excited. i.e. the remaining electrons are not properly distributed throughout the shells/orbitals. Now an electron has to move in a lower orbital, therefore it has to release energy (the closer the orbital to the nucleus is the smaller the energy of the electron is) This energy is released in form of a photon/Gamma radiation. This is why this type of radiation has no mass.
Borderline magical explanation. Thank you so, so much. You made something that can be considered tedious interesting and clear, and that is a great gift and skill.
I'm wondering if alpha, beta and gamma radiation are from particles being emitted by that element then why does it take so long for an element to decay and change? Why is there so much radiation that gets ejected from an atom that emits one or two particles? I'm new to this subject
So, with the alpha particles and the chlorine example, why did the nucleus fire off 4? Was that a random number that you used just for the example, or was there a reason it had to be 4?
Claira Eastwood It fired of 4 nucleus particles, 2 of those are protons, and the other 2 are neutrons. So the atom number gets reduced by 2, but the nucleus particle number will decrease by 4. Hope you understood (y)
i know how neutron changes into a proton during beta decay. Inside these subatomic particles we have quarks ( normally 3 ). Protons: up up down Neutrons: Up down down Electron: down down down. When and N changes to p+ a quark changes from up down down to up up down
TheWendyBird Hey WendyBird, thank you for the kind words. It's encouraging to see that the video has helped you learn chemistry. Check out my other vids if you need help. Best wishes learning and never give up :)
My second query is you have told that nucleus becomes unstable due to too much load of protons and neutrons but considering the case of isotopes of chlorine, the heavier isotope is stable and comparatively lighter isotope is unstable . Why?
12:00 - 14:00 w8 w8 w8 w8 There is no change in mass in the decaying atom when gamma radiation is released? Is it possible that the gamma radiation comes from the neutrons that decay into alpha and beta particles? That would make a lot more sense to me. Or explain in what form the energy of where the gamma radiation came from is stored inside the nucleus. Or elaborate on your "steam" metaphor xD

Best Explanation ever! very clearly broken down!
Thanks for the feedback. Stay awesome in learning!
You cleared up the confusion I had while I was reading in my chem book. You gave me the "light bulb". Thank you so much!
You are welcome! I'm stoked the video helped you.
What my teacher couldnt teach me in 2 terms, u taught me in 14 minutes, gj bro! we need teachers like u
josiah ramlal Hey Josiah, so glad it worked for you. Best wishes bro!
I had an exam..I was meant to fail that but fell across your vids. Let's just say, within about an hr you taught more than my teacher in about a year. I love u (no homo) BUT I LOVE U
I'll be your wife, if you'll do things to me.
One of the rare times a homework video is interesting and memorable. 4th period 7th grade science thanks you.

I like your way of explaining things.You are very talented.Keep posting videos.Subscribed,liked.Greetings from Serbia.
thank you very much... really appreciated the way you msde it so simple.. thanks alot sir.
This was so much help! I was so confused by all this, but your video explained it really well and kept me interested. :) Thanks!
Question: Beta Particles- You mentioned that when a neutron turns into a proton or vice versa, en electron is created and emitted. Is the electron that's emitted, newly created or is it one of the electrons that was already part of the atom?
Those were very very important points, Thanks!
thanks for this presentation.
0:45 ''but this DUDE right here'' loll
Lol! Right on dude!
lol
stop the kelp
I don't understand why 36 is unstable but not 35 or 37? 36 is in the middle shouldn't it be the most stable?
Did you figure out the answer ?
+Rich Handsome no.....
+Lex Godinez HI this might be not one of the easiest explanation , but when an isotope have odd proton no. and odd neutron no. then they are mostly unstable.. stable combination for this types of cases are H, Li, B and N {tip you can memorize it they have atomic number respectively 1,3, 5 and 7:) }. Hope this may be helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+hunter sikari 😩thanks
+Jessie Blanchard I kinda get what your saying. Thanks!
are anti-neutrinos optional for negative beta decay?
that was awesome. thank you, it was well explained and I appreciate you making it as simple as it can be. ill watch part two now.
very concise and precise!Good for self-learning:))

is it possible to make unstable nucleus stabell thrue electrode magmatic
I appreciate the help. Thanks for posting!
thank u for making this nice presentation
thank you for the vids, my school doesn't cover nuclear in chemistry. i got super bummed out when i learned that, but ii found your vids.
Beautiful... Explanation
omg. honestly your even better than crash course
Borderline magical explanation. Thank you so, so much. You made something that can be considered tedious interesting and clear, and that is a great gift and skill.
LOL. Thanks for the kudos!
Very useful video👌👌
Thanks for the help, you're a life saver!
easily understood, thank you
Thank you so much! My chem teacher explained this in 200 words per minute the other day and i didn't get any of it :P
great talk! Thanks for making it nice and clear!
I'm wondering if alpha, beta and gamma radiation are from particles being emitted by that element then why does it take so long for an element to decay and change? Why is there so much radiation that gets ejected from an atom that emits one or two particles? I'm new to this subject
Thanks for the video man! Could you explain gamma radiation a bit more?
robkent2002 That's awesome news Rob. Unfortunately, I don't have a vid just one gamma.
thankyou for the summery it helps make it easier really helped alot.
Thankkk Youuuu Thankkk Yououuuu Thankk Youuu . Youuu aree amazinggggg !!!
I wish you were my teacheerrr
So glad to help! Best wishes being awesome at chem!
It is easy to understand.
Thank you
No
So helpful! Thank you so much! Subscribed!! x
You are totally welcome bro!
What is the difference between a neutron and a neutrino?
That is such a great explanation
This video was really helpful! Thank you!
Right on svantiii! So glad it helped!
thanks a lot mehn, this helped me very well.
Isa Yaro Thanks so much. I am so glad that it helped you!
great tutorial :)
Sir u have saved my life.
thank, huge compliment!
why? Are you living in an abandoned building in Chernobyl? (lol)
So, with the alpha particles and the chlorine example, why did the nucleus fire off 4? Was that a random number that you used just for the example, or was there a reason it had to be 4?
Claira Eastwood It fired of 4 nucleus particles, 2 of those are protons, and the other 2 are neutrons. So the atom number gets reduced by 2, but the nucleus particle number will decrease by 4. Hope you understood (y)
Great video. Subscribed
Connor White So cool to hear. Not much is coming out new these days, but perhaps my other videos will help you. Best wishes in learning!
Isn't gamma radiation simply a high energy photon which basically means a short wavelength. So it technically still is a particle.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you very much!
i know how neutron changes into a proton during beta decay. Inside these subatomic particles we have quarks ( normally 3 ). Protons: up up down
Neutrons: Up down down
Electron: down down down.
When and N changes to p+ a quark changes from up down down to up up down
i may actually pass chemistry, thanks dude!
You're a life saver :) Thanks a lot

Think of a neutrino as an extremely small neutral charged particle, much smaller than the neutron.
Wow' Awesome Report Thank you!
very nice
Well, I feel so much smarter now!

There is no change in mass in the decaying atom when gamma radiation is released? Is it possible that the gamma radiation comes from the neutrons that decay into alpha and beta particles? That would make a lot more sense to me.
Or explain in what form the energy of where the gamma radiation came from is stored inside the nucleus. Or elaborate on your "steam" metaphor xD
Why is Cl with an Atomic Mass of 37 stable?
