<h3>Answer:</h3>

Group 5A

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.

Compared to the mass and the penetrating power of an alpha particle, a beta particle has(1) less mass and greater penetrating po

seropon [69]

Answer is (1) - less mass and greater penetrating power.

Alpha particle is a ₂⁴He nucleus while beta particles are electrons. Hence, the mass of alpha particle is greater than the mass of beta particle. But, the penetrating power is higher in beta particle than alpha particle. Alpha particles can be blocked by few papers but beta particles can go through those papers.
