Reorder the following in terms of mass

• beta particles

• alpha particles

• gamma radiation

Reorder the following in terms of speed

• alpha radiation

• gamma radiation

• beta radiation

The rate at which nuclear day takes place is measured by the isotopes half-life. The half-life is the time taken for 50% fo the nuclei to decay. Gold-200 has a half-life of 48 minutes. Cobalt-60 has a half lif of 5.3 years. Uranium-238 has a half life of 4.5 million years. Order these from the longest to the shortest in terms of half-life.

• uranium-238

• Gold-200

• cobalt-60
