Chapter 16.1, Problem 16.12QAP
Interpretation Introduction

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 (α24) decay:

When an alpha particle decays then the new nucleus has 4 unit decrease in mass number and 2 unit decrease in atomic number.

► Beta particle (β10) decay:

When a beta particle decays then the new nucleus has same in mass number and 1 unit increase in atomic number.

► Positron particle (β+10) decay:

When a positron particle decays then the new nucleus has same mass number and 1 unit decrease in atomic number.

► Gamma ray (γ00) 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.
