    This document discusses different types of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. It asks questions about what radiation is, the three types of ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, gamma), types of non-ionizing radiation, how atoms are positively and negatively ionized, which type is most ionizing, which is least ionizing, and how to draw diagrams of each type. It also includes a table to match radiation type with its mass, charge, symbol, and description.
