There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation:
Ionising ability
Penetrative power
Range in air
Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.
Penetrative power
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.
Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter
Gamma- infinite range in air.
Hope this helps:)
The answer to this would be false.
The correct answer is D - When burning a log, the wood combined its components with oxygen. if you could capture the products (CO2, H2O, C, CO, etc), you would have a greater mass than what you started with, burning the log combined the log's components with oxygen in order to burn it.
Answer:
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)→Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)
This chemical equation means:
One mole of solid copper plus two moles of aqueous silver nitrate produce one mole of copper(II) nitrate plus two moles of solid silver.
This is a single replacement reaction in which the metal copper replaces the metal silver.
