3.8 Radioactivity (Worksheet)

This document contains a worksheet on radioactivity with multiple choice and short answer questions. 1. The worksheet asks students to complete a tree map of different types of radiation, including alpha, beta, gamma, infrared, ultraviolet, and microwave radiation. It also asks students to identify ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. 2. Questions are asked about the atomic structure of substance X, including identifying it as neutral or charged based on its proton, neutron, and electron numbers. Students are asked to compare and contrast protons and neutrons. 3. A diagram shows different radiations being deflected in an electric field. Students are asked to name the radiations and explain why one is not deflected
