level questions: Radiation Properties and Decay Equations

QuestionAnswer
What does the Radiation Range depend on?-This simply is all Dependent on the Type of Radiation, and the Material its trying to Penetrate
What is the Range for -Alpha -Beta -Gamma-Alpha would have a Very Short Range, before it would hit Atoms -Beta would get a Bit Far, further than Alpha -Gamma can go a Long Way until it Hits an Atom
What is the Count Rate? What can it Mean?-This is simply the Number of Radioactive Particles that reach the Detector in a Set Amount of Time -Further the Radiation has to Travel = Higher Chance it will be Absorbed through the Material = Lower Count Rate
What Materials stop... -Alpha -Beta -Gamma-Alpha Particles struggle getting past Paper -Beta Particles struggle getting past Aluminium -Gamma Struggle getting past Thick Lead
What happens to Radon if it has a -Atomic Number of 88 -Nuclear Mass of 226 -If it emits Alpha Radiation?-Since an Alpha Particle has 2 Neutrons and 2 Protons... -Then Minus 2 From the Radon Atomic Number -And Minus 4 From the Radon Atomic Mass -Therefore making This Equation: Ra --> Rn [222 AM, 86 AN] + a [4 AM, 2 AN]
What happens to Carbon 14 if it has a -Atomic Number of 6 -Atomic Mass of 14 -If it emits Beta Radiation-Since an Beta Particle is an Electron... -Then Add one to the Atomic Number [Because a Neutron turns into a Proton] -And make no Changes to the Atomic Mass -Therefore making this Equation: C --> N [14 AM, 7 AN] + b [0 AM, -1 AN]
