The answer is 2. Beta particle is high energy electrons which is the same mass as positron with little mass. Alpha particle consists of 2 neutrons and 2 protons. Neutrons and protons have almost same mass which is much larger than electrons.
What is diffusion?
The diffusion of substances within a solution tends to move those substances <u>down</u> their <u>concentration</u> gradient.
Aim of diffusion:
The movement of molecules along a concentration gradient is known as diffusion. It is a significant process that all living things go through. Diffusion facilitates the flow of materials into and out of cells. Until the concentration is the same everywhere, the molecules travel from a location of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Diffusion occurs in gases and liquids because random molecular movement is possible.
Types of diffusion:
Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are the two primary categories of diffusion.
- Simple diffusion: An action where the substance passes across a semipermeable barrier or solution without the aid of transport proteins. For instance, bacteria use simple diffusion to transport minute nutrients, water, and oxygen into the cytoplasm.
- Facilitated diffusion: It is the passive transfer of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration across the cell membrane using a carrier molecule.
The main aim of diffusion is to arrive at an equilibrium state. When the amount of the particles is uniformly distributed or constant throughout a solution, it is said to be in equilibrium.

Phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values (pKa1=2.1, pKa2=6.9, pKa3= 12.4) and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values:
H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq) pKₐ₁
<span>
</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq) pKₐ₂
HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq) pKₐ₃
The last equilibrium is associated with the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid. There the last OH group will lose its hydrogen and hydrogen phosphate ion (HPO₄²⁻) turns into phosphate ion (PO₄³⁻).
