Writing nuclear equations for alpha, beta, and gamma decay.

Chemistry on Khan Academy: Did you know that everything is made out of chemicals? Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

Beta decay can also be caused by the emitting of a positron. The antimatter equivalent of an electron. Same mass but a positive charge instead of a negative charge.

Does anything change in a gamma decay equation if nothing was excited in the first place? So like in the example you used, if the technetium wasn't in an excited state, would it have just gone from 99/43 Tc to 99/43 Tc? Or would it have went backwards, like 99/43 Tc to 99m/43 Tc?

My Chem teacher is awesome but I didn’t understand all this time and I have a quiz tomorrow. I’ve joined the club

@Orchestra Of Ruin, I don't believe you are right. Positron emission and electron capture are usually grouped together as two possible courses of action when a proton needs to convert into a neutron to stabilize the nucleus. Beta decay and positron emission are the result of different conditions, namely when a neutron needs to convert into a proton and when a proton needs to convert into a neutron, respectively. Therefore I believe your statement that beta decay can also be caused by the emission of a positron is incorrect. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You saved so many lives that you might we might as well call you super man, but PLEASE talk louder even though this video came out in 2014.

This makes me hate my teacher even more because of how simple it could be to teach

In beta(-) decay, where do we get the extra valance electron from? If Electrons=protons, and we are gaining one proton, while ejecting one electron..unless we are forming a cation does this mean we are also creating one valence electron? So a Neutron becomes a proton, electron, & a valence electron, for a total of 2 electrons?

How would i represent both equations in one equation

What if you're given an equation, but you DON'T know which decay to apply to it??

My science teacher is actually garbage if I compare this video to his teaching.
