Mysteries of the Periodic Table, Part 5: Isotopes
Idiosyncrasies caused by isotopes baffled scientists for more than half a century. Learners examine a thorough review of the historical discovery of isotopes in the fifth and final video in the series Mysteries of the Periodic Table....
Veritasium
What Are Atoms and Isotopes?
Atoms may make up everything, but what are they made of? The narrator asks patrons at a local park what atoms are in an interview-style video. He then creates an atomic model and adds a neutron to it, opening the discussion to isotopes.
Berkeley University of California
Isotopes
Review carbon-12 with the final video in a 15-part series. The video first shows how to use mass spectrum results to determine the molar mass of carbon. It then determines the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in carbon-12.
