If you would like the presentation from this video for a school report, the Power Point can be found here:https://www.ryanmcbeth.com/single-pos…All isotopes exist in two forms: stable and unstable. These unstable isotopes are considered “radioactive” because they have too many neutrons compared with their protons. Nature abhors this imbalance and resolves it in a number of ways. It can turn a neutron into a proton, releasing a few protons and neutrons as “alpha particles” (which are basically helium without the electrons.) Or shed a neutron.If shed neutrons are captured by other nearby isotopes and made unstable, the result can become a “chain reaction” where more neutrons are released by nearby atoms than absorbed. Under the right conditions, this can power cities. Left uncontrolled, it can destroy them.Note: the final segment of this video is President Truman’s address to the United States after the first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
