Alpha radiation is the easiest to shield, only requiring a few inches of air or a sheet of paper. This is because alpha has a mass of four amu and a charge of +2, making it interact with nearly everything.

Which radioactive emission is described most easily absorbed?
alpha
Which type of radioactive emission has a positive charge and weak penetrating power?
alpha
What is the reason for alpha decay process?
The reason for all types of radioactive decay is the instability of the nucleus, some unstable nuclei become stable by alpha emission and some by beta emission.
What decays first duriing radioactive decay?
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
Does palladium release radioactive energy?
no,palladium doesn't release radio active energy.It can absorb hydrogen .
Is a proton a radioactive emission?
PROTON has a positive charge. In certain elements there is proton emission possible. Refer to radioactive elements in detail to get exact answer to your question.
What has the weakest penetrating powers with radioactive emission?
alpha
What radioactive emission is that most easily absorbed?
Alpha particles.
The radioactive emission with the weakest penetrating power is the?
alpha ray.
EEG is to CT as recordig of brain waves is to?
Radioactive emission.
Which radioactive emission is described most easily absorbed?
alpha
Which radioactive emission is most highly ionizing?
Free neutrons.
Is not deflected by a magnetic field by the radioactive emission?
Gamma rays .
What product of beta emission from a radioactive isotope of lead?
Mercury
What is the change in isotopes over time due to the emission of radioactive particles is known as?
You think probable to radioactive decay.
Why is food sometimes radioactive?
the soil can get radioactive poisining. The plants can then use that soil and absorb the radioactive chemical. It the is in our food and that is that
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
