What is an Isotope?

[missyumi96]

whoa this is so great...it's helping me for my upcoming exam

[magicswaper]

is this a actual teacher in a live class? and this was great, i learnt alot of stuff from this channel, i wish this was my science teacher, hes so uplifting and enthusiastic.

[aribasiddiqui100]

It was a only a few days before when I used to say"I don't know what I'd opt for in future but I know what I won't for sure-Chemistry!...a completely illogical subject" But now I see with the help of these erudite teachers up here on youtube...Chemistry is emerging up as a very interesting stuff to me...Thank You,Mr.P!

[Papapodcasts]

@aribasiddiqui100 Thank you so much for those kind words. I appreciate all the positive comments and all the constructive criticism I get. I wish you best of luck with your studies.

Mr.P

[ccokeisdaman]

Thank you for this freaking vid.. I finally understands isot0pes

[kevin71127]

thanks!

[theblackopslegend1]

If isotopes cause the nucleus to decay, and( i believe it went like this) subatomic decay creates dark energy creating gravity.(1+1) does the isotope generate gravity?

SmartBoard FTW!

[meeeeetaaaaal]

Thank so much :D

[black55h]

Thank you !!!

[weshootikill]

come on stop sounding like you are yelling at the viewer jeez

[Tori030308]

Thanks for posting!!! Helped me out a lot.

[terracottaheavens]

This is very helpful, thank you!:)

[GreatWarr]

thanks dude ur awesome my teacher dose not teach seriosuly thannnk you

[megharmer]

This video is so wonderful! Awesome having the step-by-step explanations. Isotopes made easy!

[MsBonnieful]

wow. Can somebody please tell me why i understand this - in english, which is a foreign language to me. But not in German? Lol Very good Video!

[CurdsAndWheyLol]

ok

[TheCalimbaKing]

10 radioisotopes of oxygen that scientists made. If that was to fuse with the air (if possible), what would happen?

[isleofmehr]

This is great, am a learning coach with Georgia Cyber Academy and this video helps with students who are visual learners.

[ladysakura001]

were not yet in this topic but I can understand it clearly....thanks!

[Spacehorse99]

4:46 I worry about why I have a test tommorow !

[abclol3kid]

WOW...you just got yourself another fan to your channel. Man that was a fab explanation thanks a bunch, i just wanted to know because I've just started A level chemistry have you currently got any video's on moles, first ionization energy, sub-levels and orbitals and any other topics that are of use to A levels? Once again thanks a lot.

[Papapodcasts]

@abclol3kid Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I do have videos on all those topics. Look under "mole", "ionization energy" and "electron configuration" but have the name "papapodcasts" also in the search under Youtube. Hope you find them just as helpful. Best of luck with your studies.

Mr.P

[hyit2]

@Papapodcasts I have exams tomorrow, and You just helped me a bunch. Thank you! :)

[NickBigsmoke]

Yay for Science!

[TheCClolz]

the joy of school.

[sandlappersue01]

Thanks so much! You just saved this homeschool mom one less headache. :D

[Papapodcasts]

@sandlappersue01 You are VERY welcome. It's not easy homeschooling and I admire the work that people such as yourself do. Best of luck and thanks for watching.

Mr.P

[lessthanthree3ish]

I have a question that has nothing to do with isotopes:

why are atomic weights relative weights???

[jerinenicole]

My gosh, I love you Mr P. You're a life saver.

[MrBradfordSunderland]

thanks man! :)

[Papapodcasts]

@MrBradfordSunderland You are very welcome. Thanks for watching. Good luck with your studies.

Mr.P

[TheMayo1866]

Hi umm... great video im doing chemistry let's just say were not the best of friends lol i don't understand how there are 9 neutrons at 2.22 help anyone !!

[Papapodcasts]

@TheMayo1866 Why are we not best of friends. Have you done something?

[TheMayo1866]

@Papapodcasts science and i just dont gt along

[ICEYB4LLS]

thumbs up if u saw this for homework



[qebpro]

It would be awesome if this guy was my teacher.

[impalabeeper]

Mr P for president!!

[Papapodcasts]

@impalabeeper Thanks for that. Good luck with your studies.

Mr.P

[hannahl90]

Where does the extra neutron come from ???

[Papapodcasts]

@hannahl90 The extra neutrons don't come from anywhere. They are already in the nucleus of the atom. So a certain percentage of the isotopes will be the typical atom we know of using the Periodic table. The remaining percentages make up the other isotopes that already have the extra neutron or 2. Hope this cleared things up.

Mr.P

[2pedorras]

Mr. P to the rescue ahah XD

Thanks(:

[Papapodcasts]

@2pedorras Thank you for watching. Good luck with your studies.

Mr.P

[MyUnicornSlaveMaster]

i wish my teacher teaches like you

[dalvishyu1]

Thank you so much for uploading this vid. helped me a lot to understand!

[hiroshi121212]

why radioisotope become unstable?

[origamimoonXO]

This helped alot :DD I find myself constantly talking to my laptop though... xD

[PrivationProductions]

This was very irritating. I want to know cool shit about Isotopes. I.e. what happens when there are too many nuetrons.

[FSJOKU]

look at this shit

in my days there were no easy learning way except reading books

Now look at this genaration, youtube to the rescue

[Papapodcasts]

@FSJOKU Tell me about it. They're sooo lucky. I tell my students how I had to travel to get to a good library to find this kind of information.

Mr.P

[darkwoodmovies]

@FSJOKU Hey, look at the down side... half the jobs in the world require you to be computer literate and increasingly more so. The internet is an amazing thing to have, but it's also the curse that forever changed the world into one big public network, and it will never be the same as before...

[drunkalfuzzyness]

@FSJOKU what is so bad? The internet is so helpful :]

[dogshark2007]

@FSJOKU ha, I hear you man. My book doesn't explain an isotope very well and neither does my crappy teacher. This helped a lot.

[ashlockk]

@FSJOKU yeah and my generation will say the same thing to our kids so calm down.

[7lamariposaloca]

@FSJOKU

You are so right about that. I was thinking the same thing. When I was in school I had horrible text books that didn

't go into too much detail and the teachers rushed the topics. Now I'm back in school and there is youtube, ereaders, ebooks, google, etc. How times have changed.

[TheFrigginAppReview]

so a Isotope and a Ion are the same thing?

[Papapodcasts]

@TheFrigginAppReview No, an ion contains a charge due to a difference in protons and electrons. Isotopes contain the same number of electrons and protons as a typical atom would. The difference is that they may have more/less neutrons.

[bxfinestladiie]

THANK YOU

[TheMrCaydenSWOOKI]

@bxfinestladiie calm down



[FutureVideos2013]

You thought me in 2 minutes what my teacher can't do in a week. Thank you

[Anae420]

But,,what if im given the net charge, and number of e-, how do u figure out what the p+ and neutrons are??

[Papapodcasts]

@Anae420 the charge doesn't affect the proton numbers nor does it affect the neutrons. Charge in an atom is based on the number of e- in comparison to the number of protons. Proton number ALWAYS will equal to atomic number. Example oxygen-18 is an isotope but it has an atomic number of 8, which means 8 protons. It is capable of gaining 2 e-'s to create a -2 charge.

[Anae420]

@Papapodcasts oh..ok, i have an exam on this (and alot of other stuff) in a few hrs and my teacher will give me a problem where he will only give me the number of e-'s and number of neutrons and net charge, and i have to find out what the symbol is and the protons...how can i figure it out this way??..

[TearsofDivinity1]

@Anae420 the number of protons is the atomic number, so if you figure out the protons just look up that number in the periodic table and you will have your symbol, hope this helps :)

[Anae420]

@TearsofDivinity1 oh, thank you! this wouldve helped 6 months ago when i was taking my exam lol but its ok im retaking the class and i get it now haha :)

[way2niceofagirl]

Video was alot of help!! Thank you sooo much =]

[rhenn11]

thanks!!! XD this should be a great help with my chem test.

[MegaPMetal]

Quastion:

When the Oxygen is at the level when it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is it called an Isotope ? arent they suppose to differ for an atom to be called Isotope?

[joeyyowee]

@MegaPMetal no it's not.  It would have to be 9 neutrons for it to be an isotope.

[faithie70]

They say there is 1 triagintillion quarks in the known universe

[XHUMBITO1]

Good one.

[strawdog1234567]

Spot on great seminar.

[setimeti]

Thanx for all your videos, - mindrefreshment!

From germany, hamburg..

p.s Anatomy of the atom part 3 ? Does it exist? :)

[hypersn1per109]

I know what isotopes are now!

[StudyGeekGirl]

Thank you so much for the help. :)

[PartVIII]

awesome video. i love enthusiastic the narrator is, it really makes this video fun to watch.

[Ikickhardcoreass]

thats the good part . i have some teachers that make even my favorite subject a hell hole

[Typewriter102]

Thanks for this
