Alpha radiation can only travel a few centi-metres in air and can be stopped (or absorbed) by a sheet of paper. Alpha particles can only penetrate a very thin sheet of paper and is totally blocked by the concrete. As these particles move through the air, it loses energy from the collisions with air molecules making it less penetrating.<span>
 
On the other hand:
Beta radiation can travel a bit further, around tens of centi-metres in air so a thicker substance is required to absorb the radiation. It can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium.

Gamma radiation however can travel for many meters so it requires a material much thicker to absorb it.</span>

Use Appendix C to choose the solution with the lower pH:0.1MBeCl₂ or 0.1MCaCl₂
musickatia [10]

A lower pH means that there are extra hydrogen ions in the liquid, whereas a higher pH indicates fewer hydrogen ions in the liquid. In simple terms, pH is a scale from 1 to 14 that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a liquid.

The hydrated ion undergoes hydrolysis in solution producing `H3O+ . This occurs because the Be-O bond is very strong and so in the hydrated ion and it  weakens the 0-H bond. Hence, there is a strong tendency to lose protons. For this particular reason, the aqueous solution of `BeCl_2` is acidic in nature.

<h3>Will baking soda decrease pH?</h3>

Baking soda, also regarded as sodium bicarbonate is naturally alkaline, with a pH of 8 When you add baking soda to your pool water, you will increase both the pH and the alkalinity, improving balance and clarity. Many industrial pool merchandise for elevating alkalinity utilize baking soda as their most important active ingredient.

Which would most easily form negative one ions.
irinina [24]

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

chlorine (2,8,7) is a non metal with highest electronegativity. Hence, it is most likely to form a negative ion with charge −1.
