Radioactivity

Organic Module 5 Free radical Substitution - Methane + Chlorine (Low)

Craig Beals explains why some atoms emit radiation through the processes of radioactivity and radioactive decay. He examines the role of isotopes in radiation and shows Uranium - 238 from Carnotite Ore and Americium - 241 from a smoke detector.

This lesson will look at an example with given information and will give an explanation of nuclear decay . This lesson will take a step by step look to better explain the concept.
