The radiation types in order from heaviest to lightest are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the heaviest and consist of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles are lighter and can be electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus). Gamma rays are the lightest and are high-energy photons.

What is the order of types radiation from heaviest to lightest?

The order of types of radiation from heaviest to lightest is alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, making them the heaviest, while gamma rays have no mass and are the lightest form of radiation.


When a river slows down what types of sediment will be deposited first why?

The heaviest sediment will always be deposited first. Which sediment is the heaviest in that flowage can vary widely.


What distinguish protons-neutrons-electrons?

The characteristics of sub-atomic particles are charge, mass, and spin. Neutrons are the heaviest, electrons are the lightest (of those 3 particle types), elecrons are negatively charged, neutrons are uncharged, and protons are postively charged. Spin is sometimes used to distinguish between some kinds of particles, but not in this case.


Is the Asian elephant lighter then the regular elephant?

Well there are three different types, Indian, African, and Aisan. The Asian is the lightest, they weigh about 2.25 to 5.5 tons (2,041 to 4,990 kg) they are the lightest of all three.


Is beta radiation the heaviest of the three types radiation?

No, beta radiation is not the heaviest of the three types of radiation. Alpha radiation consists of heavier particles (helium nuclei) compared to beta radiation, which consists of fast-moving electrons. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating and has no mass.


What is the heaviest rock in the world?

The heaviest rock in the world is thought to be a type of metamorphic rock called peridotite. Peridotite is found in the Earth's mantle and can be denser than other types of rocks due to its high iron and magnesium content.


What is histopaque 1077?

Histopaque 1077 is a Ficoll gradient solution designed for cell separation techniques. 1077 describes the specific density for that mixture. The techniques that use this solution involve making different densities and layering them on top of each other so that there are very distinct interfaces between the different density solutions. Cellular mixtures (ie. whole blood, tissue digests, etc.) are either suspended in the heaviest layer or put on top of a frit above the topmost (lightest) layer after all the layers have been carefully placed. The whole system is then centrifuged long and fast enough for the cell types to migrate to their interface. They will sink through layers which have less density than the cell and will stop above the layer that is more dense. Alternatively, continuous gradients can be created where there are no layers but the density changes continuously, heaviest at the bottom to lightest at the top; the results are fundamentally the same.


What do metals weigh?

The weight of a metal depends on its density and volume. For example, a cubic inch of iron weighs more than a cubic inch of aluminum because iron is denser. The weight of a metal can vary widely depending on its composition and physical properties.


Put these eruptions types in order from most destructive to least destructive?

When eruption types are arranged from most destructive to least, it is in descending order.


How do you repel horseshoe flies?

You can always purchase fly repellents because they work on all types of flies. The other best way to get rid of them is to place bug zappers around where they are the heaviest.
