A student has a balloon that looks shiny like a metal and wants to perform an experiment to determine if it contains any metal.

Which of the following procedures could possibly determine if the balloon contains metal? Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move. Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.
A. Charge the balloon, hold it near small pieces of paper, and see if it picks up any of the paper. Charge the balloon, hold it near small pieces of paper, and see if it picks up any of the paper.
B. Hold a positively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, then hold a negatively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, and observe whether the balloon acquires a net charge. Hold a positively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, then hold a negatively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, and observe whether the balloon acquires a net charge.
C. Hold a positively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, then hold a negatively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, and observe whether the balloon is attracted or repelled by the rods.

Answer:

Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.

Explanation:

The gold leaf electroscope is an instrument used to detect if a body is charged. It has two gold leafs suspended from a brass stem in a vacuumed glass jar and connected to a metal cap(Toppr).

When the test body is allowed to touch the metal cap, a change in the size of the leaves shows whether the body is charged or not.

Since we are suspecting the balloon to be made up of a metal; metals can be charged. We can test if there is really a charge on the balloon by bringing it near an electroscope to see if the electroscope moves.

Put these different types of radiation in order from MOST to LEAST penetrating.
Naily [24]

Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged  and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.
