Note: In beta minus decay, electron anti-neutrino is also released.

I loved how u simply explained the smoke detector but you did not mention antineutrinos the -/+ Beta decay thanks a lot though my physics is horrible

[MrMas]

I love you man thankyou so much for these haha! Any chance you can go over the N-Z graphs and other more detailed A2 radiation topics?

[christopherlarkin]

I love your videos and find them really helpful! Any chance you can go over the discovery of each type of radiation???

[navraja]

Can you make a video on mass defect and binding energy

[callumpaton]

Any chance of making a video on more in depth A2 physics such as nuclear stability graph and stuff

[nathanb]

okay so my exam is today. w h e r e. tf. have. you. been. this. whole. time. 😭 this has simplified everything!

[youngwolf]

You didnt conserve the lepton number. There should be an antineutrino in the beta minus decay equation

Who is here for preparation of appearing in 2020 Oct/Nov ???

5:37 can we just say that we are adding an electron to the atomic number. Electron doesn’t has mass, but it is still has a charge

Out of curiosity, why doesn't an atom decay immediately as soon as the coulomb force becomes greater than the strong force?

To clarify, if an atomic nucleus has a certain binding energy, and if you were to add a single proton to that nucleus, the forces would become unequal and the repulsive force of the protons should overcome the strong force binding them all together but this should happen instantly for all atoms, theoretically radioactive elements shouldn't exist.

It's like walking to the edge of a cliff, holding a ball over the edge, letting go and the ball remains where it is and only has a chance of falling down.

Is there a reason for this or do we not fully understand it?

[callumlangley]

Is this really A-Level stuff though? I've done AS particle physics and it has some radiation content but this is scratching the surface of what the specification wants in terms of radiation and decay (I'm doing AQA btw).

[khoangominh]

Hi there I have a question, can a helium nucleus or the alpha particle turn into a helium atom, can it acquire electrons after being shot out? I also want to know what happens to the anti-neutrino particle from the beta decay, can I affect other nucleus in the environment?

[faiqfahim]

Why isn't there nutrinos and anti nutrinos mentioned in beta decays?

u forgot antineutrino electron emitted in beta minus decay to conserve electron leptoon number

[TheMichaelkiller]

I love this video, but I have a question: What happens to an element under gamma radiation?
