Match the particle to its description.
Column A
1. Relatively large particle
2. This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials
3. Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper
4. Can penetrate other materials moderately
5. Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum 6. Has no mass and a negative charge
7 Has no mass and no charge
8 . Can be absorbed by lead
9. Can travel long distances
Column B
A. Gamma particle
B. Beta particle
C. Alpha particle
1. C. Alpha particle
2. B. Beta particle
3. B. Beta particle
4. A. Gamma particle
5. B. Beta particle
6. B. Beta particle
7. A. Gamma particle
8. C. Alpha particle
9. A. Gamma particle
The matches between Column A and Column B are as follows:
1. Relatively large particle - C. Alpha particle
2. This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials - B. Beta particle
3. Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper - B. Beta particle
4. Can penetrate other materials moderately - A. Gamma particle
5. Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum - B. Beta particle
6. Has no mass and a negative charge - B. Beta particle
7. Has no mass and no charge - A. Gamma particle
8. Can be absorbed by lead - A. Gamma particle
9. Can travel long distances - A. Gamma particle
To match the particles to their descriptions, we can go through each description in Column A and determine which particle fits the given characteristics. Let's go through them one by one:
1. Relatively large particle: This description corresponds to the alpha particle (C). Alpha particles are relatively large compared to other particles.
2. This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials: This description corresponds to the beta particle (B). Beta particles can be stopped by a few millimeters of a material.
3. Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper: This description also corresponds to the beta particle (B). Beta particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper.
4. Can penetrate other materials moderately: This description corresponds to the gamma particle (A). Gamma particles can penetrate through most materials, but not as deeply as alpha particles.
5. Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum: This description corresponds to the beta particle (B). Beta particles can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum.
6. Has no mass and a negative charge: This description also corresponds to the beta particle (B). Beta particles have no mass and carry a negative charge.
7. Has no mass and no charge: This description corresponds to the gamma particle (A). Gamma particles have no mass and no charge.
8. Can be absorbed by lead: This description corresponds to the gamma particle (A). Gamma particles can be absorbed by lead.
9. Can travel long distances: This description corresponds to the gamma particle (A). Gamma particles can travel long distances compared to other particles.
So the matching particle descriptions are:
1. C - Alpha particle
2. B - Beta particle
3. B - Beta particle
4. A - Gamma particle
5. B - Beta particle
6. B - Beta particle
7. A - Gamma particle
8. A - Gamma particle
9. A - Gamma particle
