#4 chemistry a schoology 2025 order the types of decay from least dangerous (at top) to most dangerous (at bottom). beta decay alpha decay gamma decay possible points 6
Gamma decay is electromagnetic radiation with high - energy photons and has the least ionizing power, so it's least dangerous externally. Beta decay emits electrons or positrons and has more ionizing power than gamma. Alpha decay emits alpha particles (helium nuclei) which have the highest ionizing power and are most dangerous as they can cause significant damage to living tissue.
