MCAT Gen Chem: Radioactive Decay and How to Calculate Half-Life

Описание: In this video, you will learn the types of radioactive decay you need to know for the MCAT, as well as how to answer questions about calculating half-life. We cover alpha, beta, and gamma decay, positrons and electrons, neutrinos and antineutrinos, exponential decay curves, and radioactive elements.
