Intro to Nuclear Physics, Strong Force, Fusion Vs Fission Reaction - Physics

This video provides an introduction to nuclear physics, including the structure of atoms, isotopes and nuclides, atomic mass units, determining the number of nucleons, how the nuclear strong force works and its strength vs the other fundamental forces (basic particle physics), building blocks of nucleons (quarks), conservation of nuclear number in a nuclear reaction, nuclear binding energy, mass-energy equivalence and the mass defect, nuclear fusion reaction in the sun, nuclear fission of uranium, nuclear chain reaction and enrichment, radioactive decay, and worked examples.
