Beta particles or radiation is an electron emitted at high speed or energy from some types of unstable elements in a process known as beta-decay.
Beta radiation is not healthy for living things. It is usually stopped by a few millimeters of metal, wood, or plastic. Direct exposure to the skin can cause radiation burns.
Radium emits alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is fully ionized helium nuclei. Beta radiation is high energy electrons. Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic radiation. All of these can do significant damage to living things.
There are various kinds of harmful ionizing radiation. These include alpha, beta, and gamma rays; free neutrons; X-rays; and ultraviolet light. Depending on the specifics of the waste, nuclear waste can emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and neutrons.
beta radiation breaks it down to nitrogen-14 and has a half life of 5730 years
Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.
The equation for the beta decay of 60Co is: 2760Co --> 2860Ni + -10e where the -10e is a negative beta particle or electron.
Radiation through alfa, beta & gamma decay.
beta radiation!
Beta minus radiation is a stream of electrons.
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
A stream of helium nuclei is alpha radiation. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons.
Beta radiation does not have a helium nucleus.Alpha radiation, however, does have a helium nucleus.
Because its attenuation is proportional to thickness being penetrated
Yes
Beta radiation
The radiation of an electron is Radiolectonoil. -Professor Lyle
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
Normal clothing will protect you from typical energy beta radiation.
