  • The more i spend here learning material in an efficient manner, the more time I have to whore myself out on weekends. THANKS SO MUCH. Share the love!

  • And this is called a befa decay.

  • Great

  • 'very likely to.. maybe.. kill you'

    lol

  • Your videos rock! I'm so gonna ace my final now.

  • I love you. Sorry, but you just SAVED ME and my homework! Lol, and your explanations just lightned the mood of these whole equations. :D

  • Love your down to earth exlplanations.They're not based on knowledge that you have tought beforehand but rather anyone with a basic understanding of an atom could grasp. Thanks a bunch :)

  • i like bagels

  • ohmygosh. this is so freaking helpful :)

  • question: when alpha emission occurs, shouldnt the daughter nucleus be left with 2- charge?? (not indicated in my textbook, nor any references i went through) since the parent nucleus is an ATOM and no electrons are lost....

    a good answer well referenced is much appreciated.

  • This is so wonderful. Beats reading my MCAT review notes any day.

  • 1:21 Haha he miscounted the protons! :D

  • i can't thank you enough! everything now just makes some sense :D

  • and also,How do unstable elements exist for example Tritium ? I dont know if it can only be created artificially. But do isotopes naturally just exist? Do some just have an extra neutron by chance? Im teaching myself physics and arent too sure about some things. Thanks for all these vids by the way theyre a godsend, it takes a true genius to make this stuff simple.

  • is there no exact mass for an electron, ive read in a 1940s book its around 1/1840 of a proton or 1/2000.

  • Nicely done! I'm interested in atomic theory and I wish I had been lucky enough to have you as my teacher in school instead of having to learn some of this on my own years later. Cool drawing colors by the way.

  • Is there a place I can watch more video like that and lean. Very interesting, thanks for posting

  • 5:55 you wrote the chemical symbol wrong. its He not H for helium.

  • thats great sal...keep it up

  • so is beta- decay is same as electron decay and beta+ is same as positron decay??

  • Great video, this helped me a bunch in my physics30 course.

  • High wavelength gamma ray?

    Should be low wavelength, high frequency right? Sorry if I'm mistaken, Im just in high school..

  • i love you!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, It was perfect. actually my teacher should learn from you .you are the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttt. good luck

  • you are such a boss

  • i'm a neutron and have erection

  • Thankkk you ! Hopefully i pass my test tomorrow now (;

  • Hehe shouldn't it be He2+ , anyway is a 15 year old suppose to learn this =S?

    Very nice video!

  • Hehe shouldn't it be He2+ , anyway is a 15 year old suppose to learn this =S?

  • aahh yes...the community of particles. :D

  • Great video. I learned a lot from this demonstration.

  • BUH LISTEN SALMAN DONT U THINK THOSE ELEMENTS DO SUCH PHEMENA WHO HAVE MASS NO MORE THAN 82 THEN WHY TALKING ABOUT Li AND Be.....

  • i love the way he makes things so simple and intrsting... wow.... i hated chemistry though buh now i love just ....SUPERCALIFRAGILLISTICEXPIA­LLIDOCIUOS....

  • my favourite teacher of all time!!! thank you!!! x x x

  • you wrote H+2 its He+2

  • you rote H+2 its He+2

  • you are amazing teacher!!

  • Comment removed

  • sir ur just gr8....

  • that dead pixel was bothering me xD

  • @ajkeel same, even more when the electrons were drawn around it :S

  • thanx alot

  • nicely explained...thnx

  • I love you

  • I can now face my test confidently.

  • i would love more chem videos!

  • When he said you wouldn't be want to be with gamma rays, I was thinking, you really wouldn't want to be around positrons, since positrons are antimatter which annihilates matter...

  • hey dude this was cool, need more detail....forgetting obout neutrinos.....don't get me wrong I liked it

  • "You're thinking, whoa, no, Sal, I didn't even know a neutron had an electron."

    That is exactly what I was thinking right there. Rofl.

  • ok in the second one (beta decay) how the atom is radioactive if it have 7 p and 7 n?

    pllz reply!

  • so wen a nucleus emits an electron from a neutron, does it make the new atom an isotope or an ion?

  • my surename is khan! n im not a paki!

  • arent there nuetrinos and and anti neutrions released with beta decay and positron emission?

  • I love your videos. Thank you for making them. I just want to add that in 5:19, alpha is He, not H.

  • Awesome! I wish I had you as a teacher back in school! 90% of the teachers I had didn't know what they were talking about. I already know a lot about this, but I just wanted to see it anyways, and I think you did an incredible job! You didn't show gamma decay (y), or the other leptons in ß decay, the electron anti-neutrino (ß-) and electron neutrino (ß+), but still, Awesome teaching methods! I will want to see more! Thanks! THUMBS UP!

  • just some feedback, instead of putting capital E it should be replaced by the symbols like He or C to get a better understanding.

  • so much better than my science teavher

  • i like ur voice!!

  • Great Video! Really cleared things up for me :D

  • alpha decay starts at 3:00

    beta decay starts at 6:15

    Gamma decay stars at 11:40

    Thx! really helpful video

  • THANK YOU!!! Helped so much :D:D

  • "You know what? For some reason, when I look into my heart, I feel like I really should be a proton."' Hahaha

  • @lilprincess52611 i feel your pain man we all feel the same lol

  • heya!

    11:58 isn't it supposed to be a very "low" wavelenght (or very high frequency) photon?

    and isn't there supposed to be an electron type anti neutrino released too during beta decay? (and an electron type neutrino during positron emission?)

    great video anyways :)

  • Yup, gamma rays have a very small wavelength

  • You should at least ask us one, or two questions at the end of your videos. I watch these videos for fun. I am finished with chemistry.

  • ..... "A neutron doesn't feel comfortable with its self." That is just great stuff.

  • you counted 8 but there were 7 lol but awesome video :) thanks a lot
