Chemistry

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.

What can you tell me about the charge signs on the spheres
bazaltina [42]
<span>A similar thing occurred with the circles as did with the electroscope. When we initially brought the charged pole close to, the bar pulled in the circle since it was of polarization. At that point, once the bar touched the circle, the pole repulsed the circle. This is on the grounds that once the pole and circle touched, the electrons exchanged thus did the protons, consequently leaving the circle with a positive net charge. The nearer the bar is to the circle the more it repulsed, however, it didn't influence the charge of the circle once the circle was touched by the pole.</span>
