Question

Explain primary and secondary process i a radio chemical reaction

Answer 1

Primary and secondary processes of radiation damage to a diatomic molecule AB. The initial energetic particle or other fast charged particles generated by the primary radiation (i.e., Compton or photoelectrons) produce a cation and one or more secondary electrons (SE) or excited molecules. excited ions and molecules in dissociative states can fragment. SE lead to the reactions depicted in (B). The transient anion AB − can decay into a stable anion AB − , molecular excitation or dissociation. Electronic excitation and electron-ion recombination can also lead to dissociation. The highly reactive species thus generated can further react
