Hey everyone, I'm here to help. If you have any questions or just want to learn more, click on the link in the description above. It'll take you to a page where you can ask me questions.
Sir I have a doubt..do we have to buy heart every element to find out the symbol of that atomic number during examination...how could that be possible...is there any alternative...please respond please
Just wanted to let you know that you have saved my entire chemistry grade so many times. Literally you are a better teacher than my chemistry teacher. Thank you so much for making these videos!
aww your'e the best!! My teacher has a hard time explaining chemistry (even tho shes really nice) BUT, im beyond grateful for your videos! Im going to pass chem thanks to you! You have great energy and explain everything you teach so well. Keep on doing what your'e doin' because your'e brilliant! I can't say enough good things! :) THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
just checking +Tyler Dewitt because the answer to last example was Radium-222 does that mean that it is an isotope of radium-226?? just trying to piece it all together. cheers.
I just had to pause in the middle of the video, just to say that I absolutely, of course, feignedly love you to freaking death. I even hugged my computer and kept repeating "I love this man" The way you teach with details and extreme simplicity is beautiful, I have denied myself the privilege to watch any other chemistry youtuber, if not you...Unless, of course, you do not have a video on the subject I'm looking for. Please, proceed with these detailed and simple videos, I love them and they save me. I wish I could hug you, just to truly show how grateful I am to you.
This man, this legend, just single handedly saved me from failing Chemistry. It's exceedingly difficult to find other explanations as comprehensible and detailed as these. Thank you so much!
Question: I know the Alpha particle has no electrons. Then does Uranium decay into an Alpha particle and a negatively charged ion of Thorium or are two electrons were shed along side the alpha particle in order to avoid becoming a charged Thorium atom? I love these videos by the way!
LebannersHook I've been searching for the answer to this question all along..

i believe alpha radiation is able to ionize and therefore at least some of the alpha particles lack electrons but what also could be the ejection speed rips away electrons from either the atom or the alpha particle. i suspect there is some chaos and then a recombination but that sounds like all that electrons do
You're a superstar, Tyler. I'm new to this at age 54 - never even heard this stuff before - I was an arty student in the past, and I just took this up as an intellectual pastime... you make it sound so simple. I'm actually getting it - and I never thought of myself as having a science brain. Thank you!
I am so blessed to have found you. I want you to know the significant impact you have on all chem students who have a difficult time with certain concepts. You are not only spreading knowledge - you are changing lives. Thank you so much.
After undergoing alpha decay, does the new element become an anion? I'm considering this because the number of electrons appears to remain unchanged. Thank you!
what if neptunium and uranium are named so because we got them from aliens of those planets? Or we visited those planets secretly and brought back those elements?
Mr Dewitt..You are awesome...best chemistry teacher of the world..Thank you very much and bless u because your lectures make my work so easy to teach my kids...Thank you very much
Dood!!! You're awesome! You helped me so much this year! Thank you so much! Very straight forward! These videos help me so much more than my normal lesson that takes way more than one of these videos!
Thank you for the time you put into your videos! The way you describe the problems makes it so easy to understand! I am a visual learner and it helps so much!
You're right, it's Neptunium, not Neptunian! Alpha particles are always made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons because this combo is super stable and tightly bound. Atoms prefer to emit these small, stable pieces since they take less energy. As for your last question, bigger groups aren’t as stable and need more energy to be released. More protons = more repelling force, making bigger groups harder to hold together. Quantum Mechanic rules make it much more likely for atoms to release small alpha particles than bigger ones. Atoms can also release: Beta Particles (electrons/positrons) Gamma Rays (high-energy light) Neutrons (during fission)
@@imsocookedman It's super rare for an atom to spit out more than one alpha particle at once. when an atom releases an alpha particle, it becomes more stable. releasing more alphas in one go would need a lot of energy, which usually doesn't happen in normal radioactive stuff. sometimes in really high-energy situations, like heavy-ion reactions, you might see it, but it's not something you'd see often or expect from everyday radioactive decay.
Thank you for being so thorough in this explanation of Alpha Decay. You know exactly what to emphasize for a student trying to learn this information. Great job. You are an excellent educator.
Tyler, your hard work and time putting these videos together is much much appreciated. Your work helps hundreds of thousands of students and professionals around the globe. You are a true gem and well done sir.
I have to say honestly your videos are the best! I get excited watching your videos can't put into words how amazing your videos are! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS!!!
