Atomic Nucleus

Mr. Anderson's video on atomic nuclei covers the discovery by Ernest Rutherford, explaining the structure of atoms with protons and neutrons. It discusses isotopes, their stability, and radioactive decay, including alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The video also explains the periodic table's relation to protons and isotopes, using uranium as an example to illustrate decay and half-life concepts.

How do neutrons contribute to the stability of an atomic nucleus?

What happens to an atom during alpha decay?

What is the half-life of uranium-238 and why is it significant?
