Why are gamma rays not affected by a magnet as they pass over it?

Only alpha and beta ray will be affected because they are charged with positive and negative ions respectively. In Electric field, they will be moved(i cant figure out a suitable word). THey move in a hyperbolic path and follows the positive and negative terminal. Both the alpha and beta will flow to opposite to each other where alpha will move to the negative terminal and beta will move to the positive terminal. In magnetic field, its more complicated then electric field. U eva heard of the Left Hand Flemming Rule?, Its hard to explain without a diagram. Maybe u shud search out urself. They will follow a circular path. In both fields, alpha will move less while beta will shift more because alpha is heavier then beta.

As i say just now, gamma is not affected by both fields because it isnt charged

It is false.

Explanation:

Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.

Answer:

A secondary pollutant

Explanation:

Pollutants can broadly be classified into two main categories based on their formation or synthesis. 1: Primary pollutants, 2: Secondary pollutants.

1: Primary pollutants

Primary pollutant can be considered as any environmental pollutant that is being directly emitted from a certain source like when we burn coal carbon di oxide is directly emitted into the atmosphere so CO2 is a primary pollutant.

Similarly sulfur di oxide or SO2 is also a primary pollutant that is emitted by the gas emissions of motor vehicles.

2: Secondary pollutants:

On the other hand, secondary pollutant is something that is not directly emitted on earth as an environmental pollutant but some how it is formed due to a reaction of primary pollutant.

Such as mentioned in the question that SO2 when oxidized in air in the presence of enzymes and water, it form H2SO4 or acid rain which directly falls on earth and incurs great amount of damage to not only living organisms but also non-living organisms such as marble buildings.

Therefore, acid rain is secondary pollutant. Please see picture for better understanding.
