Answer:

Beta rays

Explanation:

as we know that as per energy we can say that maximum energy is for gamma rays and minimum energy is for alpha rays

so here alpha rays are of least energy and it can not penetrate through the paper

while gamma rays are of maximum energy which is due to transitions in nuclear level so it can penetrate through any thickness

So here we have to choose which can penetrate through paper but can not penetrate through wood

so it is of moderate energy

So this must be Beta rays

The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

Which particles contribute to the net charge and how does each change the net charge?
Licemer1 [7]

The two subatomic particles that contribute to the net charge of an ion are electrons and protons.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

Atom is the smallest possible amount of matter which still retains its identity as a chemical element, now known to consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons.

The atom is made up of three components called subatomic particles as follows;

  • Protons
  • Electrons
  • Neutrons

The proton is the positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atomwhile the electron is the subatomic particle having a negative charge and orbiting the nucleus.

This suggests that the two subatomic particles that contribute to the net charge of an ion are electrons and protons. That is;

Net charge = protons - electrons

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
  • A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
  • When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
  • So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
  • The apron acts a protective layer.
