all three are very different.

Alptha is very small particles that are radioactive like dust to sand grains size.

Betta are slightly bigger and give off radiation. betta is whats in x ray machines and basically anything with a radiation symbol on it.

gamma is just radiations and is not a solid object and is what comes off of alpha and betta.

there is another called Neutron but this is only present after a nuclear bomb and cannot be detected from Alpha, Betta or gamma.

Suppose you were given three radioactive cookies one is mixed with alpha particles the second with beta and the third with gamma you are allowed to eat one hold one and place one your pocket.?

HOLD THE ALPHA, your skin is enough to shield you from radiationPUT THE BETA IN YOUR POCKET, the cloth prevents its penetrationAnd EAT THE GAMMA, because whether you hold or put it in your pocket, you'll get the same effect, Gamma can surely get thru you

If you have three objects that each emit alpha beta and gamma respectively and which one do you throw away which one do you hold in your hand and which one do you put in your pocket?

You throw away the gamma-emitting object due to its high penetrating power, hold the beta-emitting object in your hand as beta radiation can be stopped by skin, and put the alpha-emitting object in your pocket since alpha radiation is the least penetrating and can be stopped by clothing.


If you have 3 radioactive cookies alpha beta and gamma what will you eat placed in your packet and hold it by your hand?

You eat the gamma cookie, put the beta cookie in your pocket, and hold the alpha cookie in your hand. Here's why:Your skin will stop the alpha radiation, so it's safe to hold that cookie in your hand.Your clothes will stop the beta, so it's safe to put that in your pocket.And if you're going to have to eat one, you may as well eat the gamma cookie because gamma radiation is so penetrating that you'll get the same does whether you hold it in your hand, put it in your pocket or eat it.you've sort of missed the point with this one. your right in saying that the alpha wont penetrate the skin, the beta your clothes, and the gamma will penetrate basically everything but its less that you you'd rather eat the gamma cookie because you will get dosed no matter what and more that you do not want to eat the alpha cookie. you see the same reason alpha particles dont penetrate the skin is the same reason they're extremely detrimental when ingested - far more so than gamma. its called specific ionization specific-ionization.

What do gamma's in a clique do?

a gamma is a third in command in a clique, a gamma is mostly a follower, but if the beta (2nd in command) needs help to do something for the alpha the gamma would help her. a gamma just follows her alpha, and is not a very high status in a clique, it is one step down from a beta which is second in command.
