Difference between Carcinogen and Gamma ray

Carcinogen vs. Gamma ray

A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that promotes carcinogenesis, the formation of cancer. A gamma ray or gamma radiation (symbol γ or \gamma), is penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.

Similarities between Carcinogen and Gamma ray

Carcinogen and Gamma ray have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha particle, Bacteria, Beta particle, Cancer, Electromagnetic spectrum, Gamma ray, Ionization, Ionizing radiation, Lead, Leukemia, Radiation, Radioactive decay, Radionuclide, Ultraviolet, X-ray.

Alpha particle

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus.

Beta particle

A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, (symbol β) is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay.

Ionization

Ionization or ionisation, is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons to form ions, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation (ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.

Lead

Lead is a chemical element with symbol Pb (from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82.

Leukemia

Leukemia, also spelled leukaemia, is a group of cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells.

Radiation

In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.

Radionuclide

A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable.

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.
