ok info given : Alpha Particles: made up of two protons and two neutrons released from the nucleus of the radiactive atom Beta Particles: are fast moving electrons released from a nucleus when a neuton breaks apart into one proton and one election Gama Particles: can be given off during different types of nuclear decay. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic waves with a very high frequency and greater energy than ultraviolet light of x-rays Question: Explain the difference between alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
My Answer: Alpha particles are made up of two protons and electrons that are released from the nucleus of a radioactive particle. Beta particles, also released from the nucleus but only when it breaks apart into one proton and one neutron, are fast moving electrons. Gamma particles are given off during different types of nuclear decay. Unlike the other two they are a form of electromagnetic waves with a very high frequency. is that correct?
@chmvijay
nope
You already have the info. What else?
u have to tell about their penetrating power and their speed, their bending in electric fried :) first two explain on mass and 3rd one on charge
explain more of what you mean
comapred alph abeta and gamma whose mass is high
You might also want to include the penetration power: gamma > beta > alpha. Mass: alpha > beta > gamma Charge: alpha + beta - gamma neutral
Thanks you guys :)
You're welcome. The rest of the answer is in the info given.
