<span>Most items of evidence will be collected in paper containers such as packets, envelopes, and bags. Liquid items can be transported in non-breakable, leakproof containers. Arson evidence is usually collected in air-tight, clean metal cans. Only large quantities of dry powder should be collected and stored in plastic bags. Moist or wet evidence (blood, plants, etc.) from a crime scene can be collected in plastic containers at the scene and transported back to an evidence receiving area if the storage time in plastic is two hours or less and this is done to prevent contamination of other evidence. Once in a secure location, wet evidence, whether packaged in plastic or paper, must be removed and allowed to completely air dry. That evidence can then be repackaged in a new, dry paper container. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD EVIDENCE CONTAINING MOISTURE BE PACKAGED IN PLASTIC OR PAPER CONTAINERS FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS. Moisture allows the growth of microorganisms which can destroy or alter evidence.

Keep the gun in some of the water, the prints could still be on the gun if any crime was done. drying it out will only add prints to it.

Cole is working with radioactive particles and has set up a shield made of aluminum for protection. Which of the following will

koban [17]

Answer:

C.) Alpha, beta, and gamma particles

Explanation:

A dense shield of aluminium can protect Cole from all the listed types of radiation produced from the radioactive particles.

A radioactive protector has very unique and specie ability to contain and prevent the movement of radiations of any types from going into the body.

The strongest and most penetrating radiations are the gamma rays. Any material that can prevent the movement of these rays can halt alpha and beta particles too.

An aluminium shield is made up of multiple layers of aluminium stacked together and it provides enough resistance.

What is atomic mass, atomic number, isotopes and how are all these terms related to each other?

Airida [17]

Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed
