Answer 2

Answer:

The correct order of ionizing power of solvents ​is Au>Cu>Ag.

α>β>γ

Explanation:

• On moving down in a group, the valence shell becomes far away from the nucleus, and thus nucleus attraction towards test electron decreases which results in a decrease in ionization energy. So, the correct order should be Cu>Ag>Au
• However, in actual practice, the ionization energy for Au is higher than that of Cu and Ag. This is due to the weak shielding effect of 4f electrons present in Au.
• Thus, a net result of effective nuclear charge and shielding effect favors for predominating trend of effective nuclear charge and therefore the correct order of ionization energies will be Au>Cu>Ag.
• The α particles are a helium nucleus and the heaviest of the three so hits more particles on their travels and can’t travel as far but ionizes more along their way.
• The β particles are highly energetic electrons that, being smaller than α particles, can travel further but ionize less.
• The γ particles are highly energetic photons that rarely interact with matter so can travel very far and ionize the least.
• Ionisation power order α>β>γ
