What is a particle of alpha?
Alpha particles are positively charged. They have low penetrating power but high ionizing power.
Why is beta and alpha penetration power different?
Beta and alpha are two different things. Beta has negative charges, Alpha has positive. Now the thing is that their ionizing powers also differ. Alpha has extremely HIGH ionizing power whereas Beta has comparatively less (gamma has no ionizing power). Basically alpha ionizes the particles around it very fast and there fore it cannot proceed further into the material, whereas Beta has less ionizing power and can therefore travel farther into the material as the particles around it don't get ionized as fast as alpha. (this is the same reason why gamma has such high penetration power, because it doesn't ionize substances at all). Basically alpha has least penetration power as the ionizing power is most, Beta has medium ionizing and penetration power (compared to alpha and gamma) Gamma has most penetration power as it's ionizing power is least. Hope that answers the question.
What are the characteristics of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is a type of nuclear decay product that consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together. It has a high ionizing potential and low penetration power, making it relatively easy to shield against. Alpha particles are commonly emitted by some radioactive materials such as uranium and radium.
What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?
An alpha particle
What kind of particle is released when Po-210 becomes Pb-206?
alpha particle dont ask why cuz i dont know
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
What is the same between alpha and beta decay?
both are particle ionizing radiation that comes as a result of nuclear transformation.
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 particle is most ionizing if inhaled?
Alpha is the most ionizing, as it is looking for 2 electrons, and is a noble gas (meaning, once it gets a hold of those electrons it will not let them go).
An alpha particle is a form of ionizing radiation which consists of?
consists of two protons and two neutrons (ionized helium, He2+)
What is the reason why alpha has the strongest ionizing power?
Alpha particles have the highest ionizing power because they are large, positively charged particles that interact strongly with electrons in matter. Due to their size and charge, alpha particles have a high probability of colliding with and ionizing atoms in their path, resulting in the transfer of energy and the creation of ion pairs.
What is an alpha paricle?
An alpha particle is a type of ionizing radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons, similar to the nucleus of a helium atom. It is relatively large and has low penetrating power, making it harmful if ingested or inhaled but less dangerous if it interacts with external surfaces.
