Explain ionization which forms of nuclear radiation are capable of ionizing matter?

Ionization is caused by charged particles, which are produced during collisions with atomic nuclei. The third type of ionizing radiation includes gamma and X rays, which are electromagnetic, indirectly ionizing radiation.

Three types of radiation - Alpha, Beta, Gamma. There are three primary types of radiation: Alpha - these are fast moving helium atoms. They have high energy, typically in the MeV range, but due to their large mass, they are stopped by just a few inches of air, or a piece of paper.

Alpha radiation: The emission of an alpha particle from the nucleus of an atom

Beta radiation: The emission of a beta particle from the nucleus of an atom

Gamma radiation: The emission of an high-energy wave from the nucleus of an atom

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8
