Nuclear chemistry part 2 The strong force, detecting radiation, and kinetics of radiation

In this video we talk about the strong force and how it holds the nucleus together even though the protons are highly repulsive due to electrostatic repulsion. We then talk briefly about how Geiger counters and scintillation counters work to detect radiation. Lastly, we talk about the kinetics of nuclear radioactive decay. All radioactive decay is first order, and we show examples of both carbon dating and uranium/lead dating.
