It's time to play Matchmaker! Some of these statements and terms go together like peanut butter and jelly! Match the type of radiation to its properties. Most damaging if they are ingested or inhaled Likely to be emitted along with alpha or beta radiation Emitted when a neutron decays into a proton Least penetrating emission When emitted, a neutron is transformed into a proton and atomic number increases by 1 Contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons Doesn't change the nucleus but carries away energy Can be stopped by concrete but not by aluminum When emitted, atomic number is reduced by 2 When emitted, a proton is transformed into a neutron and atomic number decreases by 1 More likely to be emitted by decay of an atom with a lower neutron to proton ratio More likely to be emitted by a very heavy nucleus
