Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
8 0
There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation: 

Ionising ability
Penetrative power 
Range in air

Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.

Penetrative power 
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.

Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter 
Gamma- infinite range in air.

Hope this helps:)

Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium.
Zarrin [17]
This is an application of Le Chatlier's principle:  What happens when we add a reagent to one side of an equation? The reaction will shift to the other side.  So heat is a reactant and we're adding more of it, the reaction must therefore, shift to the right ( or the products side).
