Beta Decay

To see all my Chemistry videos, check out
socratic.org/chemistry
Sometimes known as Beta minus decay or Beta emission, this process is related to Positron decay. An unstable atom takes a neutron and turns it into a proton, creating a high-energy electron known as a Beta particle. This makes the atom more stable. In this video, we learn the basics of Beta decay, and then write nuclear equations.

    I'm glad he doesn't teach in a way where he assumes that the person watching his video watched all his previous ones before this. I like how he constantly gives an explanation on isotope notation in every video. This is how I get confused in class...when my teacher assumes we learned something in our previous years and we didn't and it's a whole mess because they continue with the lesson based off of basic stuff that we technically should know but we don't.

    School is always supposed to build off what you already know, and if you don't know what the teacher is talking about it's your fault, not the teachers. People that blame teachers for their child's mistakes are what destroy the school system because it makes teachers dumb down the material so the most challenged people in a class can understand it and the smarter people don't learn anything.

    @@aubreyrogers5264 Your failing assumption is that it could not at all be the teacher's fault. Often times it can be. And they're not even doing that. Teachers don't tell higher level teachers what they have taught their kids, so you can't learn you don't have foundation for. Also it's the teacher's job to cater to their failing students, because the "smarter" kids can wait, and they do learn stuff, they just have to wait. It isn't always about how much a kid studies, but their ability to understand, which isn't made equally. And stop prizing "smarter" kids as better and more worth your time, it's a terrible mentality. My 8th grade teacher had that mentality and my grades dropped. No one is dumbing down anything, the thing is you aren't the only kid in the class.

    You are a true genius, Tyler. I grew up watching Carl Sagans' Cosmos series- I was only a child, but I was mesmerised by his charismatic charm and his ability to explain the most difficult concepts in such a way that a young boy like myself could comprehend. I have Aspergers' Syndrome and became a fanatical student of Physics and Astronomy. I would sit with bated breath, pencil and paper in hand, anticipating Dr Sagans' sagacious, engaging and enlightening pronouncements about the mysteries of the Universe. He was the catalyst who served to facilitate my obsession with Science. You remind me of a much younger version of Dr Sagan, with your compelling manner of describing the wonders of Nature and so elegantly employing that universal language of Science- Mathematics. I have written of my most abiding veneration of Dr Sagan elsewhere, and I have no doubt that you are just as inspiring to both younger and older afficionados of Science. You have the potential to be his most worthy successor- the universal teacher of the universal Cosmos.

    I got one question here. When a neutron turns into a proton and a beta particle is shot off, this changes the element to a different one, but it is a Positive Ion of that new element (given the Isotope that decayed was electrically neutral). Does this mean, that the newly formed Ion will be looking to then attract an extra electron to cancel off its positive charge or not necessarily? Cheers.

  • @tdewitt451

    @tdewitt451

    That's a great question. You're totally right that it will now have an imbalance of protons and electrons and will become and ion. However, atoms can gain and lose electrons really quickly and really easily (in most circumstances), so when we write the equation for this kind of decay (and decay in general), we tend not to worry about whether the atom becomes an ion or not, mostly because its charge can change so quickly.
