Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.
We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.
Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.
Answer:A cell is the smallest unit of life, also called the 'building blocks of life' because cells multiply and differentiate to form a multicellular organism as well as give rise to new organism by forming gametes or reproductive spores.

Answer: (2) releases 2260 J/g of heat energy
Explanation:
Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure.
Latent heat of condensation is energy released when 1 mole of vapor condenses to form liquid droplets.
The temperature does not change during this process, so heat released goes into changing the state of the substance, thus it is called latent which means hidden. The energy released in this process is same in magnitude as latent heat of vaporization. The heat of condensation of water vapour is about 2,260 J/g.
