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

  • 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 :)

see all

  • 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.
