Why Does Everything Decay Into Lead
If you look at a copy of the periodic table, you might notice that basically every element after lead is labelled as radioactive. And the vast majority of those elements wind up decaying into some version of lead eventually. But why is...

Atomic Nucleus
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the structure of the nucleus influences the properties of the atom. The number of the protons determines the kind of element. Isotopes are formed when the number of protons remain the same but the...

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...

Conservation of Charge in Reactions
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the charge is conserved in nuclear reactions. When elementary particles are created or destroyed in a reaction the net change in charge will remain constant. Alpha, beta -, and beta+ decay are all...

Half-Life and Radioactive Decay
In this video Paul Andersen explains how a radioactive nuclei can decay by releasing an alpha, beta, or gamma particle. The exact moment of decay for each nuclei can not be determined but probability is useful in predicting the...

TED-Ed: Radioactivity: Expect the unexpected - Steve Weatherell
Neutrons don't change into protons. Except, sometimes, they do. Radioactivity is the process under which the nucleus can change spontaneously from one element to another. Steve Weatherell suggests that we acknowledge both the usefulness...
