There are some elements on the earth that keep disintegrating automatically and emit invisible rays, such elements are called radioactive elements. It is a spontaneous and random phenomenon whereby unstable nuclei of certain elements radiate gamma rays, beta particles, and alpha particles in order to become stable. This action is called radioactivity.
1. What is an alpha particle?
A. A particle which has one neutron and one proton
B. A proton
C. A neutron
D. A particle which has two neutrons and two protons
2. What is gamma radiation?
A. A form of electromagnetic radiation
B. An electron
C. A proton
D. A proton
3. What is a unit of radioactivity?
A. Curie

D. Ohm
4. Which type of radiation would be blocked by several inches of lead but not by a thin sheet of aluminum or paper?
A. Alpha
B. Beta
C. Gamma
D. Beta and gamma
5. Is radio isotopic used for the prevention of blood cancer (leukemia) disease?
A. Cobalt 60
B. Uranium
C. Thorium
D. None of these
6. What types of radiation can be deflected by electric and magnetic fields?
A. Alpha
B. Alpha and Beta
C. Alpha and gamma
