Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

Explanation:
Given that the density of the unknown substance is 0.79 g/cm3 and is soluble in water, the possible substances it could be are;
i) t-butanol
ii) ethanol
iii) 2-propanol
iv) acetone
However, the actual identity of the unknown substance can be obtained by carrying out a boiling point test. The four substances listed above have different boiling points. Hence the boiling point of the unknown substance ultimately discloses its identity.
Probably for the umbilical cord that connects babies (from their early stages in the womb to their removal) to their mothers. The cord is cut, forming the belly button. This is analogous to astronauts in space.
