Alpha particles have very weak penetrating power. They are heavy and charged, so they interact strongly with matter, causing ionization and losing energy quickly. Therefore, alpha particles can generally only travel a few centimeters in air and can be easily stopped by a sheet of paper or skin.

What forces Between the particles in a gas are weak?
the bonds between particles in a liquid are very weak
Are forces of attraction between the particles in a gas are very weak?
Yes, it is true.
What is the weak force transmitted by?
The weak force is transmitted by a collection of mediating particles. These particles are designated Z's and W's. The Z is a photon made heavy.
Does chromium-51 give off weak alpha particles?
No
Why do solids have the highest density?
Its one of these...(i think a?) a. The particles are more massive than those in liquids. b. The intermolecular forces between particles are weak. c. The particles are packed closely together. d. The energy of the particles is very high. --------That answer up there is wrong---------- It would be C. the particles are packed closely together, why do people answer one question with other possible answers
Which type of radioactive emission has a positive charge and weak penetrating power?
alpha
Bonds between particles are weak in?
the bonds between particles in a liquid are very weak
What forces Between the particles in a gas are weak?
the bonds between particles in a liquid are very weak
Are forces of attraction between the particles in a gas are very weak?
Yes, it is true.
Why is slate so easy to break?
Because the particles/atoms in it are very weak so they can come apart
Why is water a very weak electric conductor?
the number of charged particles moving around in solution is very, very small. water is undergoing self-ionization.
Are the force of attraction between the particles in a gas very weak?
Yes, it is true.
Why is pure water a very weak electric conductor?
the number of charged particles moving around in solution is very, very small. water is undergoing self-ionization.
What is the weak force transmitted by?
The weak force is transmitted by a collection of mediating particles. These particles are designated Z's and W's. The Z is a photon made heavy.
What is a type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak?
The type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak is the van der Waals force. It is an attractive force between uncharged particles.
In a liquid particles are held together by weak bombs bands bonds or particles?
bonds
What is the term for a government where power is concentrated at the regional or provincial level and the central government has very weak and limited powers?
A confederation is a form of government where power is concentrated at the regional or provincial level at the central government has very weak and limited powers
