Isotopes

[johnroberts]

Thank you so very much. I've looked at several billion videos before stumbling across yours. Yours is by far the most calm, clear, and understandable one ever produced. Hyperbolic? Maybe, but still the clearest and best.

My prof completely lost me when he started talking about isotopes, so that's why I'm here. Good video

Edit: Some scammers have replied to me. Don't look it up.

I really appreciate the effort you put into creating such informative and engaging videos. They have been incredibly helpful in enhancing my understanding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

it took a minute of my time in this video to understand what an isotope was compared to my teacher rushing through the curriculum not explaining anything and blaming the class for bad test results for about 3 months now

[podonokthegreat]

Thank you so much for making this video. All the other videos on isotopes are unclear. This one was direct and straight forward. I love you RicochetScience.

[danielcowan]

Anyone else find YouTube videos explain things better than professor?

[nobody]

My Chemistry teacher brought me here lol. Good video though, it's very understandable ^^

Edit: The test had come. I didnt remember a single thing 😔😭

Isotopic methods have become a very important tool in the study of natural
processes, and numerous applications have proved valuable in a diversity of research
areas. Most of the early developed methods were devoted to solve problems in bedrock
geology and other geological disciplines, and the ability to obtain absolute ages provided
a break-through in the understanding of the Earth’s history. More recently, novel
applications have been tested successfully within e.g. forensics and environmental
studies. As a result, a wealth of information has grown over the last few decades through
studies involving both stable and radiogenic isotopes. This contribution focuses on the
application of radiogenic isotopes, whilst the approach using stable isotopes is further
developed by Recio (2008, this volume). To a large extent, the tremendous increase in
using isotope geochemical tools in new research areas has been driven by the technical
development and introduction of new generations of very sensitive instrumentation.
Besides, the chemical separation methods have developed to a point where extremely
small samples (down to nanogram levels) can be handled and effects of interferences and
contamination can be kept at a minimum.

Love these videos really accurate and straight forward

So in another words if the neutron and protons are not the same number it's called isotopes

[khadijaumair]

Thanks! The video really made my concept more clear. :)

[noahway]

She didn't say, but carbon 12 has 6 protons +6 neutrons, carbon 13 has 6+7, and carbon 14 has 6+8.

My exam is in 30 mins. Im totally ded.

[ShadyJed]

This video did a good job explaining isotopes, gj ty

[rustydust]

Ya he is rico Rodriguez from jist cause series... he tirned scientist like his father after just cause 4.

[abdullahidrees]

Make more videos with such these diagrams and also need the lyrics down

[AyaMohamed-jlti]

nice, simple & informative
thank you

Like als je dit moet kijken van school tijdens scheikunde het 8e uur op maandag 21 september.

[sslazer]

Just remember people, nobody knows how much carbon14 was in the atmosphere in the past, no one can verify this either which means all Carbon dating is taken on faith / a religious belief.

[aneiliachandersingh]

ok, i understand that isotopes re atoms of the same element, with the same atomic number but differnt mass number...however, why is carbon 12 an isotope, it makes no sence in my head as number of protons and neutons are the same...that doesnt make it an isotope...whats going on???
