Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.

We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.

Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.

An analysis for copper was performed on two pure solids. One solid was found to contain 43.0% copper; the other contained 32.0%
fgiga [73]

Answer:

No, these sample could no be same

Explanation:

Percentage of copper in both sample are different means both are taken from different sample because if we says both are from same sample then its violates the law of definite proportion

according to this law a given compound always contains same proportion of element by mass and it does not depend on the source

eg: water from sea and drainage both have same composition means same amount of oxygen and hydrogen by mass is present

Hence given samples are not same
