Question

the penetration power of beta particles is greater than that of alpha particles due to their
A. greater ionization energy
B. smaller ionization energy
C. equal ionization energy
D. None​

Answer 1

Answer:

C is the correct option for this question

Answer 2

Betas have much higher speeds due to their smaller mass, and smaller impulses are involved in collisions. Their penetration into matter is thus considerably greater than alphas, but because of the nature of the Coulomb force interactions, betas too are stopped by very little matter

therefore B. smaller ionization energy is the answer
