Column B
a.Alpha particle
b.Gamma particle
c.Beta particle
Matching the particles to their descriptions:
1. Alpha particle - Relatively large particle
2. Beta particle - This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials
3. Gamma particle - Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper
4. Beta particle - Can penetrate other materials moderately
5. Gamma particle - Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum
6. Beta particle - Has no mass and a negative charge
7. Gamma particle - Has no mass and no charge
8. Alpha particle - Can be absorbed by lead
9. Gamma particle - Can travel long distances
Matching the particles to their descriptions:
1. c. Beta particle - Relatively large particle
2. c. Beta particle - This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials
3. c. Beta particle - Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper
4. a. Alpha particle - Can penetrate other materials moderately
5. a. Alpha particle - Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum
6. b. Gamma particle - Has no mass and a negative charge
7. b. Gamma particle - Has no mass and no charge
8. a. Alpha particle - Can be absorbed by lead
9. b. Gamma particle - Can travel long distances
To match the particles with their descriptions, we can analyze the properties of each particle and compare them with the given descriptions.
1. Relatively large particle: Alpha particle (a)
- Alpha particles are relatively large compared to other types of particles.
2. This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials: Beta particle (c)
- Beta particles have less penetrating power compared to other particles.
3. Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper: Alpha particle (a)
- Alpha particles can easily be stopped by a sheet of paper.
4. Can penetrate other materials moderately: Beta particle (c)
- Beta particles can penetrate moderately and have intermediate penetrating power.
5. Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum: Beta particle (c)
- Beta particles can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum.
6. Has no mass and a negative charge: Beta particle (c)
- Beta particles are electrons or positrons, which have no mass and carry a negative charge.
7. Has no mass and no charge: Gamma particle (b)
- Gamma particles are electromagnetic radiation and have no mass and no charge.
8. Can be absorbed by lead: Gamma particle (b)
- Gamma particles require substantial shielding, such as lead, to stop them.
9. Can travel long distances: Gamma particle (b)
- Gamma particles have high penetrating power and can travel long distances.
So the matching would be:
1. Alpha particle (a)
2. Beta particle (c)
3. Alpha particle (a)
4. Beta particle (c)
5. Beta particle (c)
6. Beta particle (c)
7. Gamma particle (b)
8. Gamma particle (b)
9. Gamma particle (b)
