Heat doesn't pass through particles. On an atomic or sub-atomic level, heat is the speed with which the particles are either vibrating or moving. Some kinds of radiation are related to the temperature of the particles that emit the radiation, other kinds are not.

What state of matter does radiation happen you n?
Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.
What form of electromagnetic radiation passes through skin but not bone?
Alpha radiation, it's force is too weak to even penetrate the outer layer of dead skin. Beta and Gamma radiation can pass through, Beta has trouble passing through clothes whereas Gamma is able to go straight through the body.
What is meant by ionising radiation?
See the Wikipedia article 'Ionising Radiation' of which this is the introduction. Ionizing radiation consists of subatomic particles or waves that are energetic enough to detach (ionize) electrons from atoms or molecules. Ionizing ability depends on the energy of the impinging individual particles or waves, and not on their number. A large flood of particles or waves will not cause ionization if these particles or waves do not carry enough energy to be ionizing. Examples of ionizing particles are energetic alpha particles, beta particles, and neutrons. The ability of electromagnetic waves (photons) to ionize an atom or molecule depends on their wavelength. Radiation on the short wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum - ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays - is ionizing.
What is the transfer of heat through energy waves called?
Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
Can radiation travel through a liquid?
it depends on the type of radiation alpha ((type of)nuclear radiation) can't travel through it for very long Infra red (heat) can but is absorbed by the particles in the water as it goes

How heat is transferred in the form of particles?
Heat is transferred through particles by radiation through space or conduction by touch or convection when the heat flows in a circular pattern

Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
What is function of gill raker?
prevent food particles from passing through the branchial clefts.

What type of radiation is used in gold foil experiments?
Alpha radiation :) The point is that Alpha radiation doesn't pass through gold foil. Therefore there was an obvious issue when they were detecting particles passing through the foil every so often. This lead to the theory that objects consist of billions of atoms as opposed to being one solid object. Hope this helps! Sources - L. Robinson's Higher Physics
Which of the three radioactive particles can go through matter the best?
Gamma radiation if that's what you mean.
What happens to the motion of molecules when they are heated?
What kind of radiation? Remember, Beta radiation is particles (electrons)and Alpha radiation is Helium nuclei.Some radiation will transfer energy to particles ... which may speed them up,it may heat them,it may cause fluorescence.
Does smoke create rainbows?
Light passing through a transparent medium like glass/water does. Smoke is made of small particles of unburnt carbon, and light passing through is does not get split into a rainbow.
Why cant thermal radiation move through space by conduction or convection?
Because in space there are no particles (this is called a vacuum), however conduction and convection require particles to work eg. solids, liquids and gases have particle arrangements. So thermal radiation has to travel through space via radiation as space is a vacuum and particle-less.
