What type of nuclear radiation can be blocked by a block of lead Beta particles or alpha particles?
Both Beta and alpha particles can be blocked by a block of lead. Alpha particles can even be blocked by a sheet of paper, and beta particles can be blocked by a thin aluminium plate.
What is a special type of mixture in which the particles of one material are scattered through another and block the passage of light without settling into layers?
colloid
What type of field would deflect alpha and beta particles?
A magnetic field would deflect both alpha and beta particles, as would a charged electric field.
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
How does it go from beta to alpha particles?
It's not possible to change beta particles to alpha particles or vice versa; they're two very different things produced by different processes. Beta particles can be either electrons or they can be positrons, which are anti-electrons. Alpha particles are helium-4 nuclei, which are composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. Beta particles are produced in beta decay (one in each type), and alpha particles are produced in alpha decay. Both of these types of nuclear decay release particulate radiation. Links can be found below to check things out.

What gives off alpha particles?
Alpha particles are a type of particle of radiation that is emmited by certain radioactive materials. The materials that give off Alpha particles are called ''Alpha emitters.''
Which type of radiation is easiest to shield?
The type of radiation that is easiest to shield are alpha particles. They are also the least harmful. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus.
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium 212 forms lead 208?
In this case alpha particles are emitted.
What is a special type of mixture in which the particles of one material is scattered through another and block the passage of light without settling into layers?
colloid
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
It's called alpha-decay. The two protons and two neutrons are removed in the form of alpha particles, or helium nuclei.

What type of field would deflect alpha and beta particles?
A magnetic field would deflect both alpha and beta particles, as would a charged electric field.
Type of nuclear decay consisting of a helium nucleus?
Alpha decay. Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus.
Which type of radioactive decay has the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay.
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
