Sample Data

Front Why is ionisation a concern?
Back As it can steal electrons from genetic material such as DNA and can lead to gentic mutations and even uncontrollable cell growth and replication which is cancer
Front Products of beta - decay
Back Daughter nucleus (same mass #, 1 less atomic #)Electron Anti-neutrino
Front What is ionisation from decay products?
Back Ionisation from decay products occurs when the energetic alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays emitted during radioactive decay have enough energy to strip electrons from atoms
