Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha particles have the largest size and mass among the three types of radioactivity (alpha, beta, and gamma) and therefore have the lowest penetrating power. Beta radiation, on the other hand, has a higher penetrating power than alpha radiation but has a lower ionizing power than alpha radiation. Beta emitters may cause more damage to the body than alpha emitters if they are ingested or inhaled because they can penetrate deeper into body tissues.
