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. :)

What is the order in which electrons start filling the orbitals?
earnstyle [38]
<span>Take a look at this periodic table. You start in the left upper corner (1s) then you go to the right untill you can't go further, then you go 1 row down and start at the left again. So the order will be 1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p... etc</span>

Why is it difficult to determine earth's inner structure
Lesechka [4]
It is hard because we can't get past the crust, Our machines will burn up at the mantle and so will we. The layers go: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core.

Look at the dots around each symbol and the energy levels from the resources above;
Anton [14]

Hello! Here's the answer I was able to come up with:

<em>Why does Na have only one dot?</em>

Sodium, or Na, has only one valence electron.  (This makes the atom tend to participate in ionic bonding and "give" its single valence electron to an atom like chlorine.)

<em>Why do none of these diagrams show more than 8 dots?</em>

It is physically impossible for an atom to have more than 8 electrons in its valence layer, according to the Octet Rule.

<em>What relationship do you notice between the dots in these two charts?</em>

The dot diagram for each element represents the number of electrons each element will have in its outermost, or valence, shell. (2-8-8)

<em>The number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table. Why?</em>

An atom can have a maximum of two electrons in its innermost layer. Hydrogen and helium have only one and two electrons, respectively, so they don't have enough electrons to actually have more than one layer. Therefore, their outermost layer is, in fact, their only layer. This is why the number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table.

Don't copy this word for word! You will most likely be in trouble for plagiarism.  Instead, rewrite these ideas in your own words, or paraphrase. Good luck, and I know you can do it! ♥
