(a)
Interpretation:
The number of beta particles taken to make up the mass of an alpha particle is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
An alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons; so it’s mass is the sum of masses of protons and neutrons. On the other hand, the beta particle has only one electron. Thus its mass is same as the mass of electron. Helium is taken as alpha particle while electron is the beta particle.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether an alpha particle or a beta particle of the same kinetic energy has faster moving radioactive emission is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons; so it’s mass is the mass of proton and neutron. On the other hand, the beta particle has only one electron. Thus its mass is same as the mass of electron. Helium is taken as alpha particle while electron is the beta particle.
(c)
Interpretation:
The justification for answer to part b with the experimental observation that beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons; so it’s mass is the mass of proton and neutron. On the other hand, the beta particle has only one electron. Thus its mass is same as the mass of electron. Helium is taken as alpha particle while electron is the beta particle.

- Hi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten. Ensure all figures, reaction mechanisms (with arrows and lone pairs please!!), and structures are clearly drawn to illustrate the synthesis of the product as per the standards of a third year organic chemistry course. ****the solution must include all steps, mechanisms, and intermediate structures as required. Please hand-draw the mechanisms and structures to support your explanation. Don’t give me AI-generated diagrams or text-based explanations, no wordy explanations on how to draw the structures I need help with the exact mechanism hand drawn by you!!! I am reposting this—ensure all parts of the question are straightforward and clear or please let another expert handle it thanks!!arrow_forwardIn three dimensions, explain the concept of the velocity distribution function of particles within the kinetic theory of gases.arrow_forwardIn the kinetic theory of gases, explain the concept of the velocity distribution function of particles in space.arrow_forward
