What similarities are there between Beta Radiation and Alpha Radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]2 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?

harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect , radiation of some energy is made to fall on metal plate which results in the ejection of electrons by the metal plate . The kinetic energy of electrons comes from the energy of radiation falling on metal plate . Some of energy of radiation falling on metal plate is used in the process of bringing the  electron to  the surface and it is called threshold energy . The radiation must have at least this energy to see to it that electrons are ejected .  and the rest of the energy of radiation is used in imparting kinetic energy to the  electron .

The red light radiation has least energy so it is least likely to eject electrons from metal plate and produce photoelectric effect .

A gas with a volume of 4.0L at a pressure of 205 kPa is allowed to expand to a volume of 12000 mL. What is the pressure in atmos
Leni [432]

Answer: The pressure in atmospheres is 0.674 in the container if the temperature remains constant.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 205 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = 4.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 12000 ml = 12 L    (1L=1000ml)  

205\times 4.0=P_2\times 12  

P_2=68.3kPa=0.674atm        (1kPa=0.0098atm)

Therefore, the pressure in atmospheres is 0.674 in the container if the temperature remains constant.
