It's called a cloud chamber :)

What will NOT produce a track of condensed vapour in a cloud chamber electron neutron positron proton?
The neutron will not produce a track in the cloud chamber. The neutron, proton, electron and positron are all types of particulate (particle) radiation, and all can do damage, but the neutron interacts much less with the air in a cloud chamber than the other particles will. This means the other particles will leave a tidy little ionized trail behind them on which condensate can form to "paint" the path of the particle. And the neutron will not.

Can a cloud chamber be used to detect radioactivity?
Yes. A cloud chamber can detect alpha and beta particles that emanate from various radioactive decay processes. This works because the cloud chamber is a sealed environment containing a supersaturated vapor of water or alcohol, and when ionizing radiation enters the chamber, the charged particles interact with the vapor, forming a mist (cloud), which is actually just a condensation trail. You can identify alpha or beta by looking at the thickness and length of the trail, alpha being thicker and shorter than beta, and you can identify charge by applying a magnetic field across the chamber, causing plus charges to curve one way and minus charges to curve the other way.
Would you expect alpha beta or gamma rays to produce a white cloud trail in a chamber?
When charged particles pass through a 'Cloud Chamber'; a chamber in which the condensation is only just occurring; occasionally they will alter, by collision, the charge on a water vapour molecule. Thus this vapour molecule will be attracted to an adjacent vapour molecule and condense to a droplet. And be seen.
