GCSE Physics - Nuclear Decay Equations - Alpha, Beta & Gamma Radiation (2026/27 exams)

⭐️ Check out our website https://www.cognito.org/ ⭐️ ** WHAT'S COVERED ** 1. Alpha Decay Equations How alpha decay changes the mass number and atomic number of a nucleus. A worked example showing the alpha decay of Radium-226. 2. Beta Decay Equations The process of a neutron changing into a proton and emitting an electron (beta particle). How beta decay affects the mass number and atomic number. 3. Gamma Radiation Equations Why gamma emission does not change the mass or atomic number of the nucleus. 4. Neutron Emission Equations How emitting a neutron affects the mass and atomic numbers of a nucleus. ** CHAPTERS ** 0:00 Introduction to Nuclear Equations 0:18 Writing Nuclear Equations for Alpha Decay 1:32 Alpha Decay of Radium-226 Worked Example 2:22 Writing Nuclear Equations for Beta Decay 3:27 Writing Nuclear Equations for Gamma Radiation 4:00 Writing Nuclear Equations for Neutron Emission ** PLAYLISTS **    • KS3 Biology      • KS3 Chemistry      • GCSE Maths (9-1)      • GCSE Biology (9-1)      • GCSE Chemistry (9-1)      • GCSE Physics (9-1)      • A-Level Biology   #GCSE #Physics #study #revision #school #exam #AQA #OCR #Edexcel #IGCSE
