Chapter 2, Problem 2.1VP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The path followed by emitted alpha and beta particles is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The radioactivity is a process in which an unstable nucleus releases its energy by emitting alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays. The path of these radiations changes as they move through electric field.

The alpha particles consist of positively charged helium atoms whereas beta particles consist of negatively charged electrons.

To determine: The path followed by the emitted alpha and beta particle

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 2.1VP

Solution

The path followed by the emitted alpha and beta particle has been identified.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The path of emitted alpha and beta particle is shown in Figure 1 in red and green color.

Chemistry: The Science in Context (Fifth Edition), Chapter 2, Problem 2.1VP

Figure 1

The emitted alpha and beta particles are passed through electric field and they deviate from each other. The radiation shown in green color move towards positive plate while red move towards negative plate.

This indicates that red line consists of positive charged alpha particles and green line shows the presence of negatively charged beta particles.

Conclusion

The path followed by the emitted alpha and beta particle has been

identified
