The video tutorial explains the spontaneous decay of atomic nuclei, focusing on isotopes with unstable nuclei that decay into different isotopes and produce decay products. It covers three types of decay products: alpha particles, which are helium nuclei with low energy; beta particles, which are high-velocity electrons with more penetrating power; and gamma rays, which are high-energy photons with the highest energy levels.
