Chemistry

Answer:

The ascending order is

gamma < beta > alpha.

Explanation:

the ionizing power of radioactive particles is the ability to remove electron from the matter (here the air).

The ionizing power is directly related to the size or mass of the radioactive particle.

Out of the most three common radioactive particles, Alpha particles are heaviest one and considered to be thousands times heaver than beta particles.  Thus alpha particles have the greater ionization ability among the three. Then the beta particles are heavier than gamma particles thus the gamma particles have least power to ionize.

Which of these elements has two electrons in its outer p orbitals?
ivanzaharov [21]

Silicon (si) has two electrons in its outer p orbitals.

Explanation:

For the element of SILICON, you previously know that the atomic number shows the number of electrons. That indicates there are 14 electrons in a silicon atom. Looking at the design, you can see there are two particles in shell one, eight in shell two, and four in shell three. Si which is 4 elements from the left side of the table,first 2 electrons are s orbitals when next two electrons go to Si
