- Q2Why is a beta particle not radioactive?It has no energy.It can't decay any further.It is not harmful.It has negative charge.It has positive charge.30s
- Q3How can alpha particles damage atoms they pass sufficiently close to?They knock the atom's nucleus out of the atom.They pull electrons off atoms they pass close to.They collide with and break up the atom's nucleus.They destroy the electrons of atoms that they collide with.30s
