There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation:
Ionising ability
Penetrative power
Range in air
Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.
Penetrative power
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.
Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter
Gamma- infinite range in air.
Hope this helps:)
Answer:
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.
c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.
d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.
f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.
The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce
the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling
effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more
devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the
capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of
wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point
and then start moving outwards in a circle.
<h2>It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. ... It turns out that all liquids can evaporate at room temperature and normal air pressure. Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy.</h2>
