 Separation of alpha, beta, and gamma rays by an electric field
Notes
 Separation of Alpha, Beta and Gamma rays. Passing radiation through an electric field shows that there are three types of radiation. Beta rays, which are high-speed electrons, are bent toward the positive electrode. Uncharged gamma rays are not deflected by the electric field. Alpha rays, which are positively charged helium nuclei, are bent toward the negative electrode.

 Illustration of the half life of a first order process
Notes
 First order process. The rate of a first order process is proportional to the concentration of a single substance. The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to half of its original value. For a first order reaction the half-life is independent of the concentration of the substance, so all of the half-lives have the same value.
