Radiation and Radioactive Decay
Mr. Andersen explains why radiation occurs and describes the major types of radiation. He also shows how alpha, beta, and gamma radiation affect the nucleus of a radioactive atom. Nuclear equations are also discussed.

Thank you mate. The essence of genius is the ability to simplify the complicated, and you have masterfully done this. Thank you!!!

My brain was struggling to grasp the concept of this and this really helped. Thanks.
I would like to thank you for this video, as well as the one preceding it in the playlist, since the comments were turned off on that one. Keep up the good work.
9 years later and I think this is the best video on radioactive decay. Thanks.
Mr Anderson thank you for existing!
Thanks Mr Andersen for making what was a mind-boggling problem into something completely understandable and basically easy. A student in Australia appreciates your work!
This guy's videos are brilliant. Makes understanding the fundamentals of physics easier than most others. He truly understands.

You sir, are absolutely awesome!!!!
This literally helped me more than I thought it did. Thx
Really cool, Mr. Andersen! I am showing this tomorrow for my physical science students that need some intervention during our flex day. Really clear without being dumbed down. This is just what we need!!
What a great presentation you have designed to help the reader easily understand what is radioactive radiation/decay about and how to write nuclear reactions.
Thank you for explaining in straight-forward terms. I especially found the equations at the end showing how one element decaying in a certain way can "become" another element on paper. Thanks!
I recently discovered your channel and it helps me a lot in my chem lessons! thank you :)
i like the way you teach a lot, just chilled and calm. its nice coming to this when you have "intense" teachers so to speak
I am a surgeon, I had to study physics for an examination, I thought this is annoying, but after watching your videos I remembered the basic science of matter, energy and thereafter inspect the living body more thoughtfully. Thank you Mr Andersen. Greetings from Egypt.
Thank you so much! I have my P6 GCSE unit test tomorrow and I was really confused but you've made it so clear and helpful, thanks!
Very great explanation. I love learning stuff like this.
Helpful for my test, thank you!
This is very informative, thank you for being detailed! Subscribed.
Thanks, Mr. Andersen
Thank you, a very clear explanation and good demonstrative examples.
THANK YOU !!! Just perfect! Not too long or short, and not too simple or too complex :D
Awesome channel, seriously wish I'd found it sooner
Excellent video! It's so much clearer to me :) Thank you
Thank so much! That was a wonderful explanation. :)
Very simple and easy to understand!
You are absolutely incredible!! You explain it wonderfully, and are an excellent teacher!!! Thank you so much!! This really helped
Awesome You explained all things in few minutes
I love this video! Thank you so much!!
Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you so much! It was well broken down and easy to understand, and I'm a student who never took chemistry.
How do we know the certain elements can undergo those decays? Did he pick random elements of the periodic table?
Excellent explanation.
Very helpful. Thank you!
A very good explanation.
Thanks for such clear explanation
nicely explained!!
Thank you so much, i have a test tomorrow, this will freshen up my memory about isotops, thnx!!
Thankyou! didnt understand before but do now :)
Thanks this was VERY helpful
Thank you for making this vid
You are amazing! thank you for your help.
You are very good at teaching. Keep it up
Thank you. I am struggling im my physical science class and i can get extra credit for taking notes on a video about what we are learning in class and this should really help!
Geez thank you so much. Why does no one else on the internet explain this stuff!
Very good, thanks
This is great. Mr. Andersen, may I please put the link to this video on Blackboard for my students to watch?
thanks this helped me a LOT
Very helpful, I hoped to have teacher like u.
you are amazing sir, really really awesome explanation sir
I am gonna enroll in the school you teach, awesome teaching :D
Thank you so much! I needed help to learn the basics about radiation and every website is hard to understand.
that was very helpful thx
thank you it was really useful
thanks very much its was very useful ))
nicely explained
Yes dude you're the best another 100% on my test
great video
thank you!
@viptutorialscom Thanks.
Thanks. It was helpful.
Thank you veryyyyyyyy much! I understand it now.

good job.
after uranium goes through alfa decay giving off helium ++ . what happens to the 2 electrons

sushant karki Could get absorbed by other molecules but don't hold me to that, radiation does damage to living tissues for a reason.
Thank you for this video. It was very formative and easy to understand (and even entertaining). I have a question that maybe you or somebody else here can answer. Since Cesium-137 only decays beta+ and what it decays (an electron) can be stopped by something with the thickness of paper, does that mean it is relatively safe? I ask because I recall that the Fukishima reactor leaked a lot of Cesium-137 among other things.
the nucleus also looses mass during the decay when the atom is balancing itself by the release of the proton/electron correct? This mass lost is the daughter element that is "created" what are those particles called that the nucleus releases to the daughter element?? Just curious if they have a special designation.
It helps alot thankyou :)
pardon my confusion. are you saying the alpha an beta particles are breaking down into helium and an electron or are you saying that is what the particle is? thank you
nicely explained!!?
@bozemanbiology Does this mean that when the mass number is double the atomic number the element is more stable then when the mass number would be, let's say, triple the atomic number? Thx
thx, I have read the scienc book on this, many times, did not realy understand it. this video on the otherhand.. I finaly got it :) thx again
you have a superpower...the superpower of "conveying"...hats off!!!
thank you so so much u really helped me
really helpful :)
Thank you sooo much
Thank you!
"electrons have no mass" on 5:35 pls correct that. They have no mass number, but mass of electron is approximately 9.1*10^-31kg, which I'm sure u already know. The beginners in science might pick it up wrong U could put a note or something. Ty

THANK U SO MUCH
You exokained more in these 10 minutes then my science teacher did in a month. Thank you! Love this kind of stuff, but my teacher seriously dont know shit about radiation.
thank you so much Mr Anderson , it was hard to me to understand radioactive decay Especially that i'm a doc.
thanks for the lesson, i have to watch it several more times to understand it, i still cant wrap my head around the idea that electrons can change into protons. science would be a lot easier if we could somehow have a frame of reference for these things, can't think about stuff that hard to picture
Thanks For sharing this for the students who don't have the opportunity to get to school and learn! Plz make more videos based on high school science and math, we don't really get good teacher like you everyttime to teach us at public school, no offense to the teachers
If a decaying atom is giving off protons or nuetrons, is it also generating more to give off?
brilliant work
thank u!! life saver!!!
do u know how to determine the half life of radio active material ?
Thanks a lot c:
At 9:05 he says the new proton was a result of a neutron transforming into a proton, yet the neutron number (137) stays the same, can someone please explain? Thanks.
@sungtensongs4381

137 is the mass number of the atom (ie mass of protons and neutrons combined). A neutron transforming into a proton and releasing an electron will not affect the total mass since electrons have 0 mass.
I know a little more but is still don't understand how radiation actualy comes into exitense. Is it because the larger the nucleus gets the more unstable it becomes and the strong nuclear force starts to oscillate and that gives of protons as radiation? If so, can you accelerate the process so it breaks up in stable elements?
Amazing sir,I am studying in 9th standard and interested in nuclear chemistry. That helps well!!!!!
