How do alpha particles compare to gamma rays?

Chemistry

Answer:

Unlike alpha and beta particles, which have both energy and mass, gamma rays are pure energy. Gamma rays are similar to visable light, but have much higher energy. Gamma rays are often emitted along with alpha or beta particles during radioactive decay.

calculate the charge on plates if the plate area is 100 cm2 , the gap between plates is 10 mm and the scale is reading 1.0 gram.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: The charge on the plates are 88.4 picafarad

Explanation:The equation used in measuring charge in a plate is given as:

C=Q/V =E A/D

Where E= dielectric content

A= Area of plates

d= distance between plates

Using dielectric constant for Air=8.84×10-12F/m

A=100cm2=0.01m2

d=10mm=0.001m

C= 8.84×10-12×0.01/0.001

C= 88.4 picafarad

xidation in redox reactions involves a. a loss of electrons and an increase in the oxidation number b. a gain of electrons and a
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Option a is the right one

Explanation:

Redox reactions are defined as the reactions where one element is oxidized (so the oxidation state is increased); and another element is reduced (oxidation state decreases). These changes in the oxidations states are defined by a transference of electrons.

When the oxidation state decrease → reduction → the element gains electrons

When the oxidation state increase → oxidation → the element release electrons
