Final answer:

Radiation emitted during radioactive decay has a high penetrating power.


Step-by-step explanation:

Radiation emitted during the radioactive decay of an Ah isotope that has a -1 charge possesses another characteristic, which is its high penetrating power. Radiation with high penetrating power can pass through materials that have low density and thickness, making it capable of penetrating human skin and body tissues.
