Match the particle to its' description:
Column A
1.
:
2.
:
3.
:
4.
Is the same as a Helium atom:
Is the same as a Helium atom
5.
Is an electron:
Is an electron
6.
Is pure energy:
Is pure energy
Column B
a.Gamma particle
b.Beta particle
c.Alpha particle
1. c. Alpha particle: Is the same as a Helium atom
2. b. Beta particle: Is an electron
3. a. Gamma particle: Is pure energy
Column A:
1. Is the same as a Helium atom: 4.
2. Is an electron: 5.
3. Is pure energy: 6.
Column B:
a. Gamma particle: 3.
b. Beta particle: 2.
c. Alpha particle: 1.
To match the particles to their descriptions, we can look at the characteristics or properties of each particle and match them accordingly. Here is how we can match the particles in Column A to their corresponding descriptions in Column B:
1. Is the same as a Helium atom:
This description matches with the particle "c" - Alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, which is the same as a helium atom.
2. Is an electron:
This description matches with the particle "b" - Beta particle. A beta particle is an electron or a positron emitted during radioactive decay.
3. Is pure energy:
This description matches with the particle "a" - Gamma particle. A gamma particle is a high-energy photon, essentially pure energy.
So, the matching pairs are:
1. Alpha particle - Is the same as a Helium atom
2. Beta particle - Is an electron
3. Gamma particle - Is pure energy
