alpha particle is a strong ionizer as its mass is heavy and hence its kinetic energy is more.

Which form of radiation is most ionising?

Alpha radiation is the most ionizing form of radiation because it consists of alpha particles, which are large and heavy and interact strongly with matter, causing a high degree of ionization.


Is alpha ionising or non ionising?

Alpha particles are ionizing radiation because they have a positive charge and can remove electrons from atoms they interact with, causing ionization. This can damage living tissues if exposure is significant.


What is the opposite word of strongly?

weakly


Is beta weakley ionising?

Yes, beta particles are weakly ionizing because they have a lower ionization potential compared to alpha particles. They can penetrate materials to a certain extent and ionize atoms along their path due to their high speed and charge.


What are beta and alpha rays?

Alpha: Highly ionising particles that can not penetrate the skin, smoke or most substances. It's only dangerous when inhaled or ingested. Beta: Is slightly less ionising but can penetrate air, layers of skin and paper. It's only slightly more dangerous than Alpha.


Adverb than can be used with stand?

firmly, weakly, strongly, boldly, barely.. etc.


What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?

Alpha radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter. It consists of particles that are relatively large and heavy, which makes them easier to block. They can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin.


Does alpha penetrates materials?

if you are talking about radiation then yes but only few thin materialsalpha radiation is the weakest pentrating the strongest ionising


What is the danger of nuclear radiation?

Ionising radiation from Alpha, Beta and Gamma emissions (from radioactive materials) are harmful to most organs of the body.


What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nails?

A Weakly magnetised nail will pick up less paper clips then a highly magnetised nail, Hope That Helps:)


Is gamma ionising or non ionising?

no


What is a good stopper of ionizing radiation?

If by ionising radiation you mean alpha radiation (the most ionising out of alpha, beta and gamma radiation) then about a millimetre of paper would stop it. alpha radiation ionises the molecules of anything it reaches, but can pass through very few things due to its immense ionising power. This includes human tissue, but in all honesty, a large dose of alpha radiation wouldn't do human tissue alot of good. In short, almost any material can stop ionising radiation.
