Describe gamma particles

Why do gamma particles tend to be bad at ionising?

What makes gamma rays different from alpha or beta?

Which two particles are deflected by Electric and Magnetic fields?

What type of charge do alpha particles have and what type do beta have?

Why are alpha and beta particles deflected in opposite directions, when traveling through a magnetic or electric field?

Why are alpha particles deflected less than beta particles?

Why do alpha particles feel a greater force in magnetic and electric fields?

Why does Gamma get deflected whilst going through a magnetic or electric field?
