Why is Americium-241 used in smoke detectors?

Americium-241 is a radioactive isotope and used in smoke detectors to ionize the air (gives air molecules a charge). This allows a small current t flow between two contacts placed in the air chamber. When smoke particles enter the chamber, they attach themselves to the ionized molecules (by electrostatic attraction) effectively making them bigger and slowing the current. The detector then goes off when the current slows.


Are collisions more common between gas molecules or liquid molecules?

Liquids. There are more collisions, but the majority are at lower energies.
