Answer : The correct option is, gamma

Explanation :

Penetration power : It is the movement of rays or the particles through an object.  We know that the more the energy of a particle, the more will be the penetrating power.

The increasing order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be,

Alpha rays < Beta rays < Gamma rays

The penetrating power of the alpha, beta and gamma rays varies greatly.

(1) The alpha particles are restricted by the paper.

(2) The beta particles can pass through the paper but it can not pass through the aluminum foil.

(3) The blocking of gamma rays is very difficult. It can be blocked only by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.

Hence, the radiation can only be stopped by thick layers of dense metal is, gamma.

Gamma rays have the highest penetrating power so it can only be stopped by thick layers of dense metal. :)

Explain the difference between molecule and compound
nadya68 [22]
Answer:
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds.

Good luck !

What does it mean for heat to be transferred by radiation?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

It means that the heat comes directly at you without relying  on any material to conduct it.

For example, you feel the heat from a campfire even if the wind is blowing crosswise to you and the fire.

Answer:

5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3)

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above, we can say that:

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of ammonia (NH3) produced by the reaction of 7.5×10⁵ L of H2. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Therefore, 7.5×10⁵ L of H2 will react to produce = (7.5×10⁵ × 2)/3 = 5×10⁵ L of NH3.

Thus, 5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3) is produced from the reaction.
