F. None of the above [Cl^(-) is oxidized]
<em>No Cl atoms are available</em> to be oxidized, only Cl^(-)ions
2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)
The substance that <em>loses electrons</em> is oxidized.
Remember <em>OIL</em> RIG (<em>O</em>xidation<em> I</em>s <em>L</em>oss of electrons) and
<em>LEO</em> the lion says GER (<em>L</em>oss of Electrons is <em>O</em>xidation).
Answer:
Alpha > beta>gamma
Explanation:
Comparing only the three common types of ionizing radiation, alpha particles have the greatest mass. Alpha particles have approximately four times the mass of a proton or neutron and approximately 8,000 times the mass of a beta particle.
Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.
Difference between biomass and fossil fuels is one of time scale.
