Alpha particles are the least penetrating form of radiation.
However, that does not mean they are the least dangerous. Even though they can be stopped with only an inch or so of air, or even by our skin, if they are ingested and come into contact with sensitive body tissues, they can be dangerous, because they have the highest charge and the highest mass.

What is the reaction in the chemical equation?
A chemical equation is the graphic form of the reaction.
Reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat?
Endothermic.
A chemical reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat will?
Endothermic reaction
When a precipitation reaction occurs the ions that do not form the precipitate?
A precipitation reaction is usually a double displacement reaction. The ions that do not form the precipitate usually form the solution.
Reaction that occurs when the products of the light reaction are used to form C-Covalent bonds of carbohydrates?
Dark Reaction
What form of ionizing radiation is least penetrating?
alpha
Which ionizing radiation is least penetrating?
alpha
How many grams of H2O would form if 55.29g of O 2 reacted?
Is this the reaction to form water, or some combustion reaction? Resubmit with that detail at least.
The most common types of radioactive decay least penetrating human tissue to most penetrating?
alpha, beta, gamma
What type of ionized radiation is the least penetrating?
Alpha radiation.
What is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation?
gamma rays
Does a neutron have energy?
Yes and they are a penetrating form of radiation.
Three products of radioactive decay from most penetrating to least?
Gamma Beta Alpha
What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
The gamma ray because a photon does not have electric charge and is thus does not experience force in a EM field. All the others are charged particles
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
Which form of radioactive decay consists of photons and thus has no matter but great penetrating power?
Gamma
Atoms of elements or compounds interact to form at least one new compound?
That would be a type of chemical reaction, although it is not the only type.
