This is true. 
Beta and Gamma radiation are the most dangerous because they can penetrate the skin, and damage the cells inside.

Alpha is the least dangerous.

Describe the kinetic, potential and thermal energy of each state of matter?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Particles of matter possess energy called kinetic energy.

Solid cannot be compressed, but gases are highly compressible.

The Kinetic energy of molecules of gases is very large & solids the least.

On heating a sublimable liquid, the molecules break free & escape from the surface of the solid directly into vapour.

Particles of matter move more rapidly on the application of heat

What is the ionic compound of Na^+ and CO3^2-
maksim [4K]

To find the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the first step is to find the charge of the 2 ions. As given already, the charge of sodium ion is 1+, and carbonate ion has a charge of 2-. We can picture it like that: Sodium ion loses 1 electron and carbonate ion gains 2.

The next step is to find how the 2 ions can lose and gain electrons equally. In this case, since each Na ion only loses 1 electron, it cannot satisfy the need of one carbonate ion, since they need 2, not 1. Therefore, 2 Na ions can cover the need of one carbonate ion. So, the ratio of Na to CO3 ion should be 2:1.

Now just combine the 2 ions, positive one at the front, which makes it NaCO3, make sure you do not add the charge and notice that CO3 is a molecule itself so do not remove the 3. Now because the ratio is 2:1, so the final formula is Na2CO3, no need to add 1 if the ratio is 1.

Your answer should be Na2CO3.
