Answer:

a. forming ions, causing reactions that mutate DNA

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. The spontaneous decay of atoms is called radioactivity, and the surplus energy emitted is a form of ionizing radiation. The unstable elements that decay and emit ionizing radiation are called radionuclides.

Exposure of a human being to certain doses of ionizing radiation can cause irreparable changes in the structure of their DNA, that is, in the genes that control the function of cells, and therefore cause a series of changes that can lead to a cancer.

The variable X is the effective nuclear charge, and it remains constant down a group.

Discussion:

The effective nuclear charge is referred to as the actual amount of positive (nuclear) charge experienced by an electron in a polyelectronic atom.

The effective nuclear charge experienced by an electron is otherwise called the core charge.

It is mathematically evaluated as the difference in the atomic number and the core electrons. and since elements in the same group have equal number of Valence electrons, the effective nuclear charge is constant down the group.
