A beta particle is produced in a process called beta decay, in which a neutron becomes a proton or vise versa. There are two forms of beta decay:
The equation for the beta decay of 24Na is: 1124Na --> 1224Mg + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
Beta Particle
The equation for the beta decay of 137Cs is: 55137Cs --> 56137Ba + -10e where the -10e is a negative beta particle or electron.
A beta particle
The strength of a beta particle is its ability to cross the absorber to reach the detector.Now the strength of a beta particle depends upon the energy of the beta particle and thickness of the absorber.
A positively charged particle that is also a beta particle is a Positron.
The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
The beta particle is an electron.
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
None. A beta particle consists of a single electrons or positron.
because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.
aplha, beta, gamma
A beta particle can be an electron, or a positron (anti-electron).
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
