What similarities are there between Beta Radiation and Alpha Radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]3 years ago
5 0

The largest particle, Alpha, has the least penetrative power. Positive charge is carried by alpha particles. Two neutrons and two protons are bound together to form an alpha particle. The helium-4 nucleus was later identified as the alpha particle. Among the three types of radioactive emissions, alpha particles have the most mass. An alpha particle has approximately 8000 times the mass of a beta particle. The penetrative power of an alpha particle is reduced due to its large size.

Beta particles are negative-charged high-energy electrons or positrons. Beta particles have a higher penetrative power than alpha particles due to their smaller size.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?

In this lab, you will use the flame test to identify the metal ion in two boxes of unidentified fireworks. Write an investigativ
Rasek [7]
In a flame photometric analysis, salt solution is first vaporized using the heat of flame, followed by this electrons from valance shell gets excited from ground state to excited state. Followed by this de-excitation of electron bring backs electrons to ground state. This process is accompanied by emission of photon. The photon emitted is characteristic of an element, and number of photons emitted can be used for quantitative analysis. 

<span>Following are the investigative question that you can answer by doing this experiment.
</span>1) What information can be obtained from the colour of flame?
2) <span>State the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?
</span><span>3) Can you identify the metal present in unknown sample provided?
4) How will you identify amount of metal present in sample solution?
5) </span><span>Why do different chemicals emit light of different colour?</span><span>
