I like your explanation, very clear. However, it should be noted, Alpha particles are easily blocked. Alpha can't travel more than a few inches in air and can be blocked by a sheet of paper or your skin. Beta particles can be blocked by aluminum. Gamma Rays are the most penetrating. I believe Gamma is the most dangerous, but that depends on the intensity of the emitter. Another thing to consider is an Alpha particle is stopped by the skin. While the Gamma would pass through you. Thus the Gamma has more atoms that it could interact with before exiting the body.
Per particle, alpha particles are usually the most dangerous because they are so heavily absorbed. So when you ingest or inhale an alpha particle, close to 100% of the ionizing energy of that particle is absorbed right near the cells of contact. This increases the ionization density of otherwise healthy cells. We might think that alpha particles are the least dangerous since they are so easily shielded, but their damage once they get past our layer of dead skin is enormous. And due to their often long lives, they tend to work their way into food-bearing soils, and atmospheric distributions.
Thank you a lot! I have a test on this today, and since our teacher hasn't explained HOW they cause ionisation, only that they do, it really helped my understanding to watch your video!

awesome video, very clear explanation. My kitten also loved your scrolling particles across the screen. thanks!

Always happy to hear I have feline fans!
Perfect…. Exactly what I wanted to understand in the exact visual/diagrammatic I wanted to! Thank you!
best explainatoionm i have seen so far!! thank you sir

only fucking clear explanation on the entire internet
thank you! you made my friend and I understand the topic a bit more!
Explendid visuals and explanation!thanks!
This video is perfect. Thank you so much. The visual presentation is very helpful for remembering.
Really Mind blowing explation
Thanks
It proved to be quite useful
Very helpful thanks
Thanks such a clear cut consept
Thank you very much!!!😢
I finally understand
Very Nice
omg thankyou soo much!!! I was having a hard time understanding this part of the topic so thankyou thankyou!
'You are an excellent teacher. js
your videos are very helpful
great video, have a shocking teacher this year so most of the class is self teaching... helps a lot
very helpful explanation it is very clear
Thank you so much 💙💙
Interesting information and well defined thanks
Love your video really helped me understand the concept
very helpful video
very helpful. the video is awesome
Good for me , am confusion that how this collision occasion in reality or is they collide physically ❤️❤️😘
Well done. Thank you
Bravo I am amazed by this video. Keep it up! !!!!!!!!!!
Tysm This helped!!!
I understand, I subscribe.
thank you sir.. love from INDIA
Thanks 4 short and much understandable explanations sir
Thank you, very well explained !!
very clear explanation
Wait, beta particles are negatively charged, right? How do they deflect or just act on another electron?
they are positively charged you egg
Thank you very much !
God bless u ily
If you ionise helium does it turn into hydrogen?
Thank you so much
Very useful to me thanks

Hello. What kind of program do you use for the animations? Thank you.
Nice
What happend if the alpha collisioned the nuclear.
thanks
😀
In radioactivity is alpha cause more damage cuz it can hit direct and cause 2 electrons out?
Shuuuuuuuuuuuush
as alpha come from any radioactive element
I heard Pizza after Alpha mentioned
Who else is doing GCSE prep?
