How does a smoke detector utilize radiation? A. Beta radiation creates a stead stream of electrons. When the stream is broken by smoke particles, it sets off the alarm.
B. Alpha radiation ionizes the air. When smoke interacts with the ionized particles it causes the alarm to sound.
C. Gamma radiation creates a stead stream of electrons. When the stream is broken by smoke particles, it sets off the alarm.
D. Beta radiation ionizes the air. When smoke interacts with the ionized particles it causes the alarm to sound.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
