Answer:
Explanation:
Beta particles are much smaller than alpha particles and therefore, have much less ionizing power (less ability to damage tissue), but their small size gives them much greater penetration power. ... Gamma rays are not particles but a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation

Answer:
A gamma ray (a packet or photon of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay and occasionally accompanying the emission of an alpha or beta particle) are of much higher energy. Gamma rays have no mass or charge and interact less intensively with matter than ionizing particles.
