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 is the difference between ultra violet alpha and ultra violet beta rays?
Ultraviolet is low energy light. Alpha particles are helium nucleii ejected from the nucleus of a heavy element during radioactive decay. Beta particles are electrons (or positrons) ejected from the nucleus of an element during radioactive decay.There is no such thing as "ultra violet alpha and ultra violet beta" rays.
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
positive charge A beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the extra proton will increase the nuclear charge.
When a different kind element that radioactive is mixed with another element that not radioactive does it react?
Of course. Chemistry still applies, and that is based on the electron configuration, not the nucleus, per se.
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
What represents a beta particle?
0/-1 e
What is ejected from a nucleus when a neutron is converted into a proton?
Electron also referred to as a beta particle in this instance
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
How electron created from nucleus?
I think you may be referring to Beta decay of a radioactive substance. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino from the nucleus of an atom as a neutron is converted into a proton

Which particle is emitted from a hydrogen-3 nucleus when it undergoes radioactive decay?
beta, aka an electron.
What does the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles or energy or both?
In the process of radioactive decay an unstable atomic nucleus emits energy to get closer to a state of stability. Whether this energy is emitted in particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both depends on which decay paths are available to the nucleus and which decay paths are forbidden to the nucleus by Quantum Mechanics.Some of the decay processes are:alpha - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected alpha particle (helium nucleus)beta - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected electron or positron (and the hard to detect neutrino)gamma - energy is released as electromagnetic radiation (gamma ray photon)spontaneous fission - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected fission product atoms and the ejected neutrons
What happens when two protons and two neutrons are ejected from a radium nucleus?
The radioactive gas radon is obtained: 226Ra-----alpha particle------222Rn
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
What is the difference between ultra violet alpha and ultra violet beta rays?
Ultraviolet is low energy light. Alpha particles are helium nucleii ejected from the nucleus of a heavy element during radioactive decay. Beta particles are electrons (or positrons) ejected from the nucleus of an element during radioactive decay.There is no such thing as "ultra violet alpha and ultra violet beta" rays.
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
positive charge A beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the extra proton will increase the nuclear charge.
What is the process in which an unstable nucleus loses energy spontaneously?
Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.
