Depending on the type of beta decay, it's either an electron or its antiparticle, the positron.
A beta particle is an electron (β-) or a positron (β+) emitted during beta decay in some radioactive isotopes. It is characterized by its charge and mass.
its a fckn electron.
An alpha particle is larger and has more mass than a beta particle. An alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, giving it a mass of 4 atomic mass units, whereas a beta particle is much lighter and has a mass close to that of an electron. Size-wise, an alpha particle is larger in diameter compared to a beta particle.
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
A beta particle is an electron or positron emitted during radioactive decay. It has a charge of -1 for electrons and +1 for positrons, and is lighter than an alpha particle. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino.
When U-235 emits a beta particle, it undergoes beta decay, transforming into Neptunium-235 (Np-235). During this process, a neutron in the nucleus of U-235 is converted into a proton, releasing a beta particle in the form of an electron and an antineutrino.
When P-32 decays to S-32, a beta particle is emitted. This beta particle is an electron released during the conversion of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus of the atom.
it is an electron
an electron
A beta particle can be an electron, or a positron (anti-electron).
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, while beta rays are high-energy particles emitted by some radioactive materials. Both X-rays and beta rays can penetrate matter but they differ in their origins and properties.
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.
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.
A positron is a positively charged particle that is also a beta particle. It is the antimatter counterpart of the electron, with the same mass but opposite charge. Positrons are commonly produced in beta plus decay processes.
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.
