Different types of decay | Alpha vs. Beta vs. Gamma decay | Visual Explanation

Thank you for watching my video. If you liked it, please consider giving it a thumbs up 👍. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help you ☺.

Thank you for the explanation, I really appreciate it!❤❤❤

Also moral decay

Thank you, this was extremely helpful and the graphics were perfect for understanding what you were teaching. ❤

So helpful!!

BETA DECAY and My Model for PROTON and NEUTRON.

Beta Decay takes two basic forms:

BETA MINUS DECAY: a neutron breaks down into a proton and electron. Plus energy is released.

BETA PLUS DECAY: a proton and electron combine to build a neutron. Plus energy is added.

BACKGROUND of MY MODEL
Proton = two positrons and one electron. Charge +1.
Neutron - one proton and one electron. Charge 0.

BETA MINUS DECAY:
Neutron breaks down into a proton, and releases an electron..
Plus energy from an anti neutrino.

BETA PLUS DECAY:
Proton plus pair of virtual particles makes a neutron. Plus energy from a neutrino. OR
Proton plus virtual electron makes a neutron and a virtual positron is released. Plus energy from a neutrino.

THIS EXPLAINS
Where the missing anti matter is - in protons and neutrons.
Why a proton and electron have exact same opposite charge.
Where the positron in beta plus decay comes from.

Thanks for the crystal clear information. Totally understood the concept❤

👍

What would a neutron decay do? ...and would you give this to your best friend or worst enemy? I'll hang up and listen, thanks 😅

I am from Nepal
Your explanation was best with visual graphics 😊

very well explained. thank you!

Superb presentation. Thanks! FWIW, the image of the visual spectrum at 0612" is the best I've seen in terms of packing key information into one visual. And I now have a better intuition how gamma rays in oncology are focused on the target cells to minimize damage to surrounding tissue.

You have used Neurons instead of Neutrons in many places

Very clear

Just wanted to let you know that you have been using neuron instead of neutron throughout most of the video 🙂 Other than that, very informative and easily understandable video. Thank you so much for your effort (in the entire NM-playlist)!

loved this explanation, thanks Dr.

precise and easy to understand!
Thank you!

This video is awesome. Your explanation is straightforward yet filled with valuable information and it's very helpful. Loved it! Keep uploading such fantastic videos.

Nice explanation🤩.. But one suggestion, to increase your background voice...

Very helpful

Hello doctor ma'am your effort is amazing I can understand everything

Thank you Dr. Moyaert for this amazing explanation. Science bless us all

Thanks!

Very helpful vedio

Yes, Dr. Moyaert! I love your video because the visual graphics along with your explanation are fantastic!

Good video and very informative. The way I know is that alpha and beta particles, though have very minimal penetration, still deliver the most ionizing damage to living tissue when ingested, inhaled; at direct/close contact. Gamma ray, though less ionizing, however has the increased risk of deeper penetration, capable of delivering harmful effects at a distance, so in a way it is significantly more dangerous. Neutron radiation takes top prize.

Excellent !! 🙂

so sophisticated thank you ,,,,,,, we really appreciate your effort🥰🥰🥰

Thanks for the simple explanation!

At the end of the video you said alpha decay is the least damaging and gama decay is the most damaging but isn't it the opposite?
