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 explain this SO much better than my chemistry teacher! EVERYTHING he says goes right over my head. Thank you! And I hope you're doing well nowadays. Almost 11 years now.
Hey everyone, I'm here to help. If you have any questions or just want to learn more, click on the link in the description above. It'll take you to a page where you can ask me questions.
Bro, you are the best chem teacher on the internet! My professor is a genius, but not everyone is able to explain that genius as well as you. So thanks, I will tell others about you lol
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.
SAME! my physics teacher really really sucks and no one in the class understands what he rambles on about. this video has helped me sooo much! if it wasn't for my awesome friend who sent me this video, i would sure to fail my exams!
can't express to you enough how awesome your lectures are! I'm ten years out of high school and relearning these basics for Nuclear Medicine (physician in training). thanks!
So glad that God lead me to your videos. This online Chemistry is trying to take my hair lol. So helpful. Saving my life. 3 more weeks and this Chem is a wrap. Thank you again. Have learned so much in the last 5 weeks of watching your videos
OMG thank you for this video. I've been banging my head against my desk trying to read and reread my textbook and my professor's notes, but nothing was making sense until I watched this video. Now I get it! Thank for for making it simple!!
You forgot about antineutrino. Antineutrino is emitted during every beta decay, cause when matter is created (electron) an antimatter must also be created (antineutrino) to keep the symmetry. The opposite happens during beta+ decay, (positron and neutrino).
you can not imagine how did you benefit me, your way of explaining and the way you talking such a great way that makes us understand easily. So much thanks
I love the way you teach, I love YOU! I don't know how much I would've had to pay for tutor to explain this to me and not anyone can explain as good as you do. God bless you angel
An antineutrino is a anti-matter subatomic particle that is emmited in beta decays. The majority of people doesn't write it down because it is chargeless and it has no influence in the process Hope that's helpful :)
You have effectively coached me in passing my Intro class( making a 97) and you may also aide me in my journey to becoming a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!
WOW I'm genuinely lost for words! I love you! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! I can't put into words how helpful your videos are! THANK GOD YOU EXIST!!! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS!
Short, Sweet and effective.... God bless you! I have one question, in IGCSE physics book, there is something called "antineutrino"... Would you plz explin about that as well?
Thank you sir! It’s really helpful. I’m actually prepping for the JEE in 2025 and nuclear physics is the topic happening right now. Thank you for helping me clear all the doubts
I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this since it's fairly long but I'm so glad I did. Wonderfully explained in a way even I can understand it. You really helped me to understand this and do some of my homework. Thank you!
I can't believe he made it 12 years ago and I'm watch his video for my physics lesson now (and the explanation is much more clear than most of teachers in the class)
you're my new favourite person! that was so awesome, i spent like the whole afternoon trying to work this out from my sucky class notes. thank you so much :)
sir u did an absolute miracle! before i saw this vid i never did understand any of this but now that i do..all thanks to u..:) i've got a question to ask-do u have any video on radioactivity?
The first 2 minutes of this video already made me understand a lot about Beta Decay. Thank you very much, you explained that really well and so clear. Thank you sooo much. I'm so prepared for my Report about Radioactive Decay now :D
i hope you keep post these kind of helpful video.!!!!!!! i like how you do a lot of example problems and how you explain stuff. Thank you so much this video helped me a lot. God bless you.
+dreo149 I think it is the fact that he has a little bit of empathy for us learning it. Most chem teachers teach in a very annoyed condescending tone like we are morons for not already knowing this stuff. Tyler makes me feel like I CAN learn it... not that I SHOULD already know it.
I'm not even in school, but I love these videos. I didn't take Chemistry in school. You see, high school taught subjects in a way that made me despise learning. I thought I hated math and science and chemistry, but as I learned much later, I actually love them. It's just that high school made me think I hated them by the way they taught.
You have explained this amazingly well! Thank you! I was having trouble finding something that explained it easily, and you've done just that! Keep up the amazing work! (I'm going to recommend this to my teacher)
WE ALL LOVE YOU THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS you are so talented in the way you carry out explanations and can make rocket science understandable
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.
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.
My attempt at explaining why a neutron turns into a proton, a neutron is slightly more massive than a proton due to it's 3rd quark being down not up like in a proton, U-D-D
I know it probably would be too much of nuisance, but maybe you could’ve explained how the W boson interacts with the isotope and when the boson decays, it turns into an electron and anti-electron neutrino. Nonetheless, fantastic video.
Greetings from Denmark: Mystery to me: 14/6 C is the "carbon-14" atom. It has a mixture of 14 elementary particles in its core: 8 neutrons ( which have no electric charge ) and 6 protons p which each has one positive basic charge p+ An electron e has the same amount of charge just negative e- If a basic positive and a basic negative charge collide they will CANCEL each other out. But also if one + and one - are near each other and you are far enough away from the couple , then you will feel no electrical field. Thus at a distance any atom apparently has ZERO electric charge because if there are , say , 6 p+ in the core there will be 6 e- circulating or orbiting closely around the core like planets around the sun. * In CHEMICAL reactions between two materials ( two different atoms ) merely the outer of orbiting electrons are participating in the reaction.

Thus actually it is only INDIRECTLY that the number of p+ in the core determines the chemical properties of an atom / material because the number of e- circulating will be identical to the number of p+ because all atoms are electrically neutral otherwise it is a charged ION. * Then a BETA-DECAY takes place. For the 14/6 C ( 8 n and 6 p+ ) it means that an n from the core will disintegrate into two particles: p+ and a beta- Thus the core will change to 7 n and 7 p+ which is a Nitrogen core. The beta- is just another name for an e- which has a very high velocity and therefore FLIES AWAY from the atom 14/6 C or its mutation 7/7 N * The 14/6 C had 6 e- circulating "low speed" around the core. The beta- is NOT one of these 6 e- because the beta- originated from inside the core when the one n "cracked" into a p+ and a fast flying e- ( beta- ) . Thus my QUESTION is: The 6 circulating e- from when 14/6 C still existed ARE STILL THERE and so to speak "wave goodbye" to the beta- flying away. Thus we have an 7/7 N core with merely 6 e- orbiting That is not an 7/7 N atom but a positive charged 7/7 N+ ion. If this 7/7 N+ ion wants to become an 7/7 N atom it will have to react chemically with some other material ? ?

Leaa Malonie that’s good and all but it’s also annoying when I already know most of the basics and just want to get to the harder stuff
That happens to me in IC technology.
In 8th grade by the way.

Always thankful to your to your teachings Mr. Tyler 😊
Thank you for passing me with a b in chem honors I would have been lost without you
I'm 14 and this was uploaded 10 yrs ago and it still helping me crazy
I was struggling so much with decay, this makes me understand so much more
You are literally saving my butt. I am so lost. I literally watch your tutorials while my professor is lecturing because she is so bad.
this guy explains topics perfectly
your videos are sooooo amazing!!! thank you thank you thank you
i hope you keep post these kind of helpful video.!!!!!!!
i like how you do a lot of example problems and how you explain stuff. Thank you so much this video helped me a lot. God bless you.
ahhhh. Great... I needed this for my nuclear physics exam.
Chemistry is only physics applied :p
yeaahhh
Physics is applied maths , chemistry is applied physics , biology is applied chemistry

almost a decade later, this is very useful to understand this topic!
Holy crap, it's like Jesus just walked into the classroom and made everybody understand...thanks for making these super helpful videos.
Hi sir. You're considering only the number of protons but what about number of electrons.(in beta decay).please clear my doubt
You are saving my daughter's life in chemistry.
The best video ever!!! It helped me make my notes!!
HI I am from India.. Ur video make me concepts clear
OMG I love you man!!! You saved my life, I was so confused about this but thanks for helping!
You are really good !! very well explained.

bless you sir and your whole channel.
Thank you for these videos, they're very helpful during this time :)
Hi Tyler, I just wanted to find out if your donation page is still up? Thank you for all your hard work.
Why did a stable atom IRON which has number of neutron equal to the number of proton decay its neutron to become an unstable cobalt atom??? At 9:38
My man here is editing the video live while recording it with his paper sheets ! GREAT !😃
AH i feel safe when i search a chemistry related topic and one of your videos pops up
Have a quiz tomorrow and your video help!!!
THANK YOU!

Good work explaining this so well
Greetings from Denmark:
Mystery to me: 14/6 C is the "carbon-14" atom.
It has a mixture of 14 elementary particles in its core:
8 neutrons ( which have no electric charge ) and 6 protons p
which each has one positive basic charge p+
An electron e has the same amount of charge just negative e-
If a basic positive and a basic negative charge collide they will
CANCEL each other out.
But also if one + and one - are near each other and you are far enough
away from the couple , then you will feel no electrical field.
Thus at a distance any atom apparently has ZERO electric charge
because if there are , say , 6 p+ in the core there will be 6 e-
circulating or orbiting closely around the core like planets
around the sun.
*
In CHEMICAL reactions between two materials ( two different atoms )
merely the outer of orbiting electrons are participating in the
reaction. The p+ and n in the two cores do not change.
Thus actually it is only INDIRECTLY that the number of p+
in the core determines the chemical properties of an atom / material
because the number of e- circulating will be identical to
the number of p+ because all atoms are electrically neutral otherwise
it is a charged ION.
*
Then a BETA-DECAY takes place.
For the 14/6 C ( 8 n and 6 p+ ) it means that an n from the core
will disintegrate into two particles: p+ and a beta-
Thus the core will change to 7 n and 7 p+ which is a Nitrogen core.
The beta- is just another name for an e- which has a very high velocity
and therefore FLIES AWAY from the atom 14/6 C or its mutation 7/7 N
*
The 14/6 C had 6 e- circulating "low speed" around the core.
The beta- is NOT one of these 6 e- because the beta- originated
from inside the core when the one n "cracked" into a p+ and a fast flying
e- ( beta- ) .
Thus my QUESTION is: The 6 circulating e- from when 14/6 C still
existed ARE STILL THERE and so to speak "wave goodbye" to the beta-
flying away. Thus we have an 7/7 N core with merely 6 e- orbiting
That is not an 7/7 N atom but a positive charged 7/7 N+ ion.
If this 7/7 N+ ion wants to become an 7/7 N atom it will have
to react chemically with some other material ? ?
Hey it's been 8 years ago and still useful to meee!!!thanksszz !!!
Sir , You have very well explained alpha decay and beta decay .
It is my request you to please upload a video on gamma decay as well
With Your skill of being a teacher, I understood it when i was 11
Good work young professor
