Three froms of radioactivity are?
Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Alpha and beta are both particles, but gamma is in the form of a wave. Gamma can travel the fathest but Alpha is the most dangerous when in contact with your skin
What are 5 different types of radiation and which are the most dangerous?
Alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, neutron.
Radioactive decay is the most dangerous?
There are three types: Beta decay, alpha decay, and gamma decay/gamma rays. They are all dangerous if exposed to a high amount of radioactive matter. When the radioactive isotope undergoes beta, alpha, and gamma decay, there is an emission of a beta particle, alpha particle, and gamma ray (respectively). In highly radioactive matter, there are often trillions of radioactive isotopes that emit these particles and/or rays - and they are very high-energy once emitted. However, they are only dangerous when exposed to a high amount.
Which alpha beta or gamma is the particle with the greatest penetrating depth?
Gamma, as it has the most energy by far.
Three products of radioactive decay from most penetrating to least?
Gamma Beta Alpha
What are the three most common type of radiation in chemistry?
The most common radiations are alpha, beta and gamma.
What lists ranks nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive?
Alpha, beta, gamma
Which type of radioactivity would be most dangerous if you were exposed to it from a source outside of your body?
Gamma radioactivity would be the most dangerous because, unlike alpha particles that can be blocked by paper or skin, and beta particles which can be shielded by foil, gamma radioactivity would need a lead shield. Plus gamma radioactivity effects organic material.
Why is alpha not used for checking welds?
Alpha will not penetrate metal. Neither will beta. You need gamma. Most weld inspectors use iridium.
The most common types of radioactive decay least penetrating human tissue to most penetrating?
alpha, beta, gamma
What type of radiation is probably the most dangerous to humans?
Externally, gamma radiation is dangerous because it can penetrate the body. Alpha is most dangerous if ingested.
Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
