Conservation of Nucleon Number
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the nucleon number and charge is conserved in all nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Fission, fusion, alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay all conserve the number of neutrons and...

Methods of Dating the Earth Part 2: Absolute Dating (Radiometric Dating)
We just learned about relative dating, but if you really want to calculate the age of a rock, absolute dating is what you need. This takes advantage of the presence of radioactive nuclides that decay at a reliable rate, so it is also...

Nuclear Reactions, Radioactivity, Fission and Fusion
Radioactivity. We've seen it in movies, it's responsible for the Ninja Turtles. It's responsible for Godzilla. But what is it? It's time to learn exactly what nuclear reactions are, and what it is that makes atomic bombs so destructive,...

Decay Equations
Scholars will be in their element with these decay equations found in a video that solves an example of alpha decay and beta decay. Gamma, or light, emission adds an extra concept to the equation. Then, through an analysis of which...
