Interpretation:
“Match the type of radiation (1 to 3) with each of the following statement:
1. Alpha particle
2. Beta particle
3. Gamma radiation
a. Penetrates farthest into skin and body tissues
b. Shielding protection includes lab coat and gloves
c. Travels only a short distance in air.” should be explained
Concept introduction:
► Alpha particles () decay:
When an alpha particle decays then the new nucleus has 4 unit decrease in mass number and 2 unit decrease in
► Beta particle () decay:
When a beta particle decays then the new nucleus has same in mass number and 1 unit increase in atomic number.
► Positron particle () decay:
When a positron particle decays then the new nucleus has same mass number and 1 unit decrease in atomic number.
► Gamma ray () emission:
This gamma ray does not affect the nuclear mass and the atomic number. It never emits independently. It emits either with alpha particle or beta particles.

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
- Draw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see imagearrow_forward
