The biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting is 10 times.
<h3>
What is radiation weighting factor?</h3>
As stated in the question, radiation weighting factor (q) is the ability to transfer energy to the body.
If radiation factor of proton = 2, and radiation factor of alpha particles = 20.
- First person is exposed to alpha radiation = 20
- Second person is exposed to protons = 2
Risk of first person with respect to second person = 20/2 = 10 times higher

The electrons that are in the outermost electron shell, also known as the valence shell, have more energy then those in the inner electron shells, I hope this helps<3
