A fast moving electron given off as part of a nuclear reactions is a beta particle. Also, anti-electrons, known as positrons, are beta particles. Electrons are involved in beta- decay, along with anti-neutrinos; and positrons are involved in beta+ decay, along with neutrinos.

When an electron is ejected from the surface what type of energy does the electron possess?

The ejected electron possesses kinetic energy as it moves away from the surface.


What is the difference between bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation?

Bremstrahlung is German for "braking radiation." It refers to radiation that is associated with the positive or negative acceleration of charged particles. The energy of the emitted photon equals the loss of kinetic energy of the particle. Characteristic radiation refers to groups of discrete wavelengths characteristic of the emitting element.


What are Negatively charged particles moving around outside a nucleus?

Negatively charged particles moving around outside a nucleus are electrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels, creating the electron cloud. The number and arrangement of electrons influence an element's chemical properties.


Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?

No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.


What was the charge on the professor's suit when she was moving away from the nucleus how do you know?

The charge on the professor's suit would be negative, as electrons are negatively charged particles found in an atom's outer electron cloud. When moving away from the nucleus, electrons gain potential energy and their charge remains constant.

A fast moving electron that is given off as a nuclear radiation is called?

Ok if what your looking for is an electron released from radioactive decay, it's a beta particle, which is created in beta decay =]In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a third particle called an antineutrino. The nucleus ejects the electron and antineutrino, while the proton remains in the nucleus. The ejected electron is referred to as a beta particle. The nucleus loses one neutron and gains one proton. For example, a hydrogen-3 atom undergoing beta decay becomes a helium-3 atom.So simply, its a beta particle. But I also gave you a science explanation.Feel proud man =D

What is most of the volume of an atom taken up by?

Most of the volume of an atom is taken up by the electron cloud, which consists of electrons moving around the nucleus. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom.


What is a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay and has a negative chare?

its called a beta particle, but its an electron


What do you call on the free moving particle around the nucleus of an atom?

The electron moves in a cloud around the nucleus of the particle. Most atoms have several electrons occupying different energy levels and moving in differently shaped orbitals. The electron has a negative charge.


What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?

Beta decay releases a fast-moving electron (beta particle) from a neutron in the nucleus. During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and the electron and an antineutrino are emitted to conserve charge and energy.


What is a fast-moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay.?

One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino


Where is a electron located?

They are located in the electron cloud of an atom. ---------- Electrons (very low mass particles with negative electrical charge) are placed around the nucleus of an atom in electron shells, with different energy levels; because the nucleus contain protons the electrical charge is positive. The electron cloud is a model of quantum mechanics.
