View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
When DG < 0, a process is spontaneous, when DG = 0 the system is at equilibrium, and DG > 0 has the reverse direction spontaneous. G is a form of energy that tends to reach a minimum for any spontaneous process at constant T and P When DG < 0 (spontaneous processes), DG is equal to the maximum work that can be obtained from the process.
Correct Option: B

The penetrating power is inversely related to size. Alpha particles, being the largest, penetrate the least. Gamma rays are the most penetrating of the radiations. They are highly energetic waves and are poor at ionising other atoms or molecules.
