The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which one of the following does not consist of charged particles of matter?", we can analyze each option provided in the context of nuclear chemistry. ### Step 1: Identify the options We need to consider the following types of rays or particles: 1. Alpha rays 2. Beta rays 3. Anode rays 4. Gamma rays ### Step 2: Analyze each type of ray/particle - **Alpha rays (Alpha particles)**: These are positively charged particles, specifically helium nuclei (He²⁺), which consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Therefore, alpha rays consist of charged particles. - **Beta rays**: These are negatively charged particles, typically electrons (e⁻). Beta rays carry a negative charge, indicating that they consist of charged particles. - **Anode rays**: These rays are composed of positively charged ions produced at the anode in a discharge tube. They consist of charged particles as well. - **Gamma rays**: Unlike the other three, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation and do not consist of charged particles. They are neutral and do not have any mass or charge. ### Step 3: Conclusion From the analysis above, we can conclude that the only type of ray that does not consist of charged particles is **gamma rays**. ### Final Answer **Gamma rays do not consist of charged particles of matter.** ---
