This depends on the kind of radiation. Most electromagnetic radiation is harmless (e.g. broadcast radio) or only very slightly harmful (e.g. microwave, infrared, and visible light can cause heating of materials and thus thermal changes). However very high energy electromagnetic radiation (e.g. ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray) and the particulate radiation of radioactive decay and cosmic rays has enough energy to break the bonds holding molecules together, causing chemical changes.

Which are made of matter living things only some living and all nonliving things both living and nonliving things?
All are made from matter.
Is a river living or non living?
A waterfall is nonliving because water is not a living thing.

What separates the living from the nonliving things?
Living things have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to their environment, and maintain homeostasis, while nonliving things lack these characteristics. Additionally, living things require energy to carry out life processes, whereas nonliving things do not. The presence of cellular structure is another key feature that distinguishes living from nonliving things.
Is atom nonliving or living?
nonliving Only living things can reproduce themselves.
Is it true nitrogen gas is needed to help protect living things from harmful radiation?
Nitrogen gas does not directly protect living things from harmful radiation. The Earth's atmosphere, which is about 78% nitrogen, plays a role in filtering out some of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. However, the ozone layer is the primary atmospheric component responsible for shielding living things from the most harmful UV rays.
Why is the ozone layer important to all living things?
Ozone layer reflect UV radiation. UV radiation is very harmful
Which are made of matter living things only some living and all nonliving things both living and nonliving things?
All are made from matter.
Are living thing and nonliving things the same?
Living things and nonliving things are not the same. It's basically Organic v.s. Inorganic.
What is nonliving things and living things?
living things can not respair&Non living things are respair
Only nonliving things are radioactive?
No. All things are radioactive, including living things and even humans. All matter (save a few) emits gamma radiation spontaneously.
