These videos are awesome!!! Im in AP Chemistr student in my senior year in high school and my book is gigantic and confusing, and your videos explain it so well!! I plan on majoring in Biochem in college :)
If two atoms of the same element (same number of protons) have different numbers of neutrons, then they are said to be different ISOTOPES of the element.
Example: Chlorine-35 and Chlorine 37 are different isotopes because they both have 17 protons, but one has 18 neutrons and the other 20.
All kinds of radiation kill cells and will kill a human if enough are absorbed. The main difference between alpha radiation and gamma is that each alpha particle kills many more cells than each gamma ray, but alphas are easier to block. Betas lie somewhere in the middle on damage and ease of blocking.

If gamma rays do moderate damage to your cells then how they say it can kill you. What are the applications for these waves anyway.
