Question

Explain why alpha particles and beta particles have different penetrating powers ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alpha particles have low penetrating power largely because they are immensely more massive than beta, gamma, or neutron radiation. An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons – a helium atom minus the electrons. ... An electron strikes something sooner, and an alpha readily strikes one of the nearest obstacles.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer

Explanation:

Beta particles travel faster than alpha particles and carry less charge (one electron compared to the 2 protons of an alpha particle) and so interact less readily with the atoms and molecules of the material through which they pass.
