gamma ray - can pass through human skin easily,
 X ray
 Danger:
ionising radiation causes burns different types of cancer . dermatitis, damage of blood cells, can damage human skins and damage bones.

Beta is stopped by aluminium 
Gamma is stopped by thick lead/ concrete.
When a charged particle comes near another atom it can pull electrons off the atoms.
This slows the particle down, the atom is then called an ion if it has lost electrons, it is a positive ion ]]> 2021-01-28 11:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135842912 https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135843181 Alpha particles: Made of two protons and two, can travel through Cm, it can be stopped by air or paper.

Beta particles: Made if high speed electron, can travel through m and can be stopped by aluminium.

There are 3 types of ionizing  radiations
Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Alpha: it is made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons or you can say the neucleus of He. The size is a little big so it can pass through paper.
Beta: neta particles are heigh energy electrons and as it is just an electron so it can pass through paper but it is stopped by aluminium.
Gamma rays:  they are high energy photon and it can travel long distances and is mostly stopped by a very thich peice of lead.]]> 2021-01-28 11:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135850501 https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135852542
alpha radiation is dangerous and most harmful radiation. alpha particles can damage living tissues.

They can be stopped by skin and can only travel a small way in the air

e.g:
- carbon-14 has a half life of 5700 years (less radioactive)
- francium-22 has a half life of 22 minutes (very radioactive)]]> 2021-01-28 11:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135855471 https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135863152 Alpha particles are big compared to alpha and beta particels so they are easily stopped by paper ]]> 2021-01-28 11:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135863152 https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135875376 Sedra Amer 
1.Alpha particles 
2.Beta
3. Gemma 
Alpha is made from helium nucleus,2 protons and 2 neutrons. They are relatively big, heavy and slow moving. Alpha particles have the shortest range in air so they are blocked by paper.
Beta is made from high speed electron. They are small and fast moving. Beta are blocked by thin aluminium. 
Gemma is made from high energy wave. Gemma Ray have no charge and no mass. They are travels a long way it has longest range in air. Gemma rays are blocked by thick lead.]]> 2021-01-28 11:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sacco/5ej3u8zwyurozb8b/wish/1135875376
