<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Types of Radioactive Rays

Based on the constituent particles, radioactive rays are divided into three, namely alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays.

Alfa ray (α ray)

Alpha rays are rays emitted by radioactive elements. This ray was discovered simultaneously with the discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity, which is the decay of the nucleus which takes place spontaneously, uncontrolled, and produces radiation. Alpha rays consist of two protons and two neutrons. The following are the nature of alpha rays.

Beta Rays (β Rays)

Beta rays are high-energy electrons that originate from the nucleus. Here are some of the nature of beta rays.

  • Has a smaller ionization power than alpha rays.
  • Has a greater penetrating power than alpha rays.
  • Can be deflected by electric or magnetic fields.

Gamma Rays (Rays ˠ)

Gamma rays are radiation from electromagnetic waves that emanate from very high energy nuclei that have no mass or charge. Gamma rays also emit when a core emits alpha rays and beta rays. Gamma-ray decay does not cause changes in atomic number or atomic mass.

Gamma rays have the following natural properties:

  • Gamma rays do not have maximum coverage in the air, the farther away from the source the intensity is smaller.
  • Has the weakest ionization power.
  • Has the greatest penetrating power.
  • Do not turn in the electric and magnetic fields.

Particle /                          mass number                atomic number

type of radiation

alpha / ⁴₂ He                              4                                     2

beta / e⁰                                     0                                   - 1

gamma / γ                                  0                                     0

neutron / n                                 1                                      0

Explanation:

These are the basic types of <em>radiation</em>: <em>alpha </em>(α)<em>, beta </em>(β)<em>,  gamma </em>(γ), and neutrons (n).

The radiation is emitted by unstable nuclei when undergo radiactive decay or by nuclei that are shooted by other particles.

<u><em /></u>

<em><u>Alpha radiation</u></em><u> (⁴₂ He):</u>

They are nuclei of helium-4 atoms: 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Hence, the atomic number, which is the number of protons,  of these particles, is 2; and the mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons, is 2 + 2 = 4.

The symbol of this radiation is ⁴₂ He, where the superscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the mass number and the subscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number.

<em><u>Beta</u></em><u> (⁰₋ ₁ e)</u>

These are electrons emiited from an unstable nucleus. The symbols used for this particle are either ⁰₋ ₁β or ⁰₋ ₁e.

The superscript 0 indicates that the relative mass of this particle is practically zero and the subscript -1 tells that the emission of electrons increases the atomic number of the nucleus that emits it.

<em><u>Gamma</u></em><u> (⁰₀γ)</u>

The gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation of high (the highest) energy.

The both superscript and subscript are zero, meaning that this radiation does not change either the mass or atomic numbers of the nucleus.

<em><u>Neutron</u></em><u> (¹₀n):</u>

Neutrons are also emiited from the nucleus and so they may be considered a radiation.

The atomic number of neutrons is 0 (since it does not have protons) and its mass number is 1.

does the nitro group on the pyridine ring make the ring more electron rich or more electron deficient
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

more electron deficient

Explanation:

The nitro group is an electron withdrawing group. It withdraws electrons from the pyridine ring by resonance.

This electron withdrawal by resonance makes the pyridine ring less electron rich or more electron deficient.

Hence, the nitro group makes the pyrinde ring more electron deficient
