One of the best examples for understanding the concept of radiation chemistry is Radiolysis of Water Vapour using gamma radiations.
Some of the major products of Radiolysis of Water Vapour are as follows:
a) Free radicals like •H , •OH , •HO2
b) Positive ions like H2O+ , H3O+
c) Hydrated electron i.e. e– (aq)
d) Molecular species like H2 and H2O2
