Answer 1

Here is the matching of particles from Column A to their descriptions in Column B:

1. Relatively large particle: b. Alpha particle
2. This particle cannot penetrate very far into other materials: b. Alpha particle
3. Can be absorbed by a sheet of paper: b. Alpha particle
4. Can penetrate other materials moderately: a. Beta particle
5. Can be absorbed by a sheet of aluminum: a. Beta particle
6. Has no mass and a negative charge: a. Beta particle
7. Has no mass and no charge: c. Gamma particle
8. Can be absorbed by lead: c. Gamma particle
9. Can travel long distances: c. Gamma particle

This creates the following final matched pairs:

• 1 - b
• 2 - b
• 3 - b
• 4 - a
• 5 - a
• 6 - a
• 7 - c
• 8 - c
• 9 - c
