Radioactivity: Expect the unexpected - Steve Weatherall 

Then where did the electron come from? Forgive me for my obliviousness but why does the down quark turn into an up quark anyway?

@@advaitanair9127 Good question. That's what I was wondering! 🤔

whats wrong with your name

❤

no tf they did not

But it's a team !

Are you still on youtube?

Lead block: No you can't

@@siva-ok9qk lead cant block gamma radiation in great quantities

@@siva-ok9qk fast neutron: But I can!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Vogs Life 😂😂😂😂😂😂

think quantum ;-)

perhaps yes

if u take this condition before u wont ever be able to prove its properties. Thus while proving certain properties we neglect this assumption

@@toyeshgupta7925 How can you neglect such a fundamental structure of Quantum Mechanics? If there is a particle for everything, and there's wave particle duality for every particle, then even Gamma particles exist

"AGAIN, this is not what chemistry has taught us to expect"

muux Especially Americium

not rly

I bet nobody told you to set through this video. If this is how school/colleges operated, this comment wouldn't exist. But hey, the school system especially needs overhauling, but I don't see how you can include college because they're far from being the same.

@@DrDeuteron you're in college and don't know how to spell except

Enchanted Unicorn are neutrons more massive than protons?

jetison333 Yeah, but the difference is minimal

Hmmmmm. No, neutrons were created in the aftermath of the Big Bang along with neutrons when the temperature lowered to the level that quarks could combine. An agglomeration of neutrons and protons (an atomic nucleus) has a favored ratio of neutrons to protons. If the ratio is ideal for the nucleus, then it is stable and will last a long, long time. If there are too many neutrons, then a neutron will spontaneously change to a proton and emit an electron (a beta particle) and a neutrino and thereby improve its ratio. The average time it takes for this to happen depends on the difference of the ratio to the ideal - large changes cause quick conversions, while small differences take longer. Neutrons do not "contain" or "have" electrons embedded within them. They have quarks.

An electron is a blob of negative charge. This is why they come from neutrons in beta decay.

Actually in Quantum mechanics, u can see protons & neutrons are created by fusing up & down quarks, they aren't related to electrons which are leptons. Refer standard model chart for more info.

Thank you for flexing on us my good kind sir.

@@hexius_ thats what i said in my head before i open the replies lmao

+Caters Carrots If you are smarter than them why did you watched the video?

+Abdullah sohail I am not nessacarily smarter than them. However I do know more about radioactivity. And I like the animated ted ed videos

so you are smarter than everyone well thnx for general knowledge.....

your name is the best thing i've ever seen

ba dum tssssss

L.O.FRIKKIN’.L

Yeah, ionised helium with symbol 'He+'.

@@fishandchips9662 wow I made this comment 9 years ago. Forgot about this video lol.

Why u speak russian

nucleus be sad tho

+Aidan Berry Light is a wave that behaves like a particle

+Aidan Berry But really it's just a wave pretending to be a particle that acts like a wave.

+Aidan Berry particles have mass, light doesn´t have mass when we measure them, might be because it is only a particle during very short periods of time. so if a particle that dissapear for 99.9....% of the time can still be considered a particle?

+benkeiaa kant its just a wave pretending to be a particle that acts like a wave, and a particle, but is a i dont know why you are reading this, i got my penis stuck in a toaster

+Aidan Berry ...if you only knew what you said...oops, what they say

kevin O'Shannahan proton → neutron + B(+) + elektron neutrino. Probably takes too long to talk about neutrinos in the video as well.

Why not talk about Beta-Beta- or Beta+Beta+ or EC or ECEC or SF

Anti-Alpha!!!when the anti heavy elements are decaying

1) the reason an atom is radioactive is because it is unstable in the first place. the neutron turns into a proton in an attempt to re-balance the nucleus 2) no, the alpha rad is He2+, ionised He gas, so no, it doesn't have any electrons

Hal Effect thank you now i get it. :)

You're thinking of alpha particles. Gamma rays are the ones that are stopped only by very thick lead shielding or several feet of concrete, water or soil. Basically, alpha isn't anything to worry about unless you eat it or inhale it.

+Richard BENNETT If I remember correctly, the electron has a lot of kinetic energy when it is created so the electric force simply isn't strong enough to keep the electron there.

In most universities and colleges around the world, 101 denotes an entry-level course, filled with the basic knowledge for a given subject.

Now, that's a real joke.

Through decay. You are thinking of things as having fundamental building blocks, they dont. Electrons are a by-product of decay.
