Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
This form of radiation is made from He nuclei and has a 2 plus charge?
This are alpha particles which are made up of Helium ions and are +2 charge.
Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.

Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.

Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
What is made when Uranium-238 gives off an alpha particle?
radiation
What use is alpha radiation?
It is used in smoke detectors as it cannot travel far in air. Alpha radiation is emitted and as long as the detector in the device is receiving the alpha radiation, then no smoke is present. When smoke particles are present, they interrupt the radiation, and so the detector doesn't pick up the radiation, causing the alarm to go off.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
How is alpha radiation detected?
A zinc sulfide scintillator probe is used to detect alpha radiation. The scintillator probe is just sensitive to alpha radiation.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
What does alpha alpha radiation do?
It can be used for smoke detectors
What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
