The primary difference between gamma-rays and x-rays is that gamma-rays originate in , while x-rays are created either by transitions between energy states of orbital electrons or as bremsstrahlung radiation.
it is electrons
In nuclear decay processes, electrons called beta particles are emitted by a nucleus. Beta particles can either be a beta-minus particle (an electron) or a beta-plus particle (a positron).
nucleus is a very complicated region and we known little about thattheoretically a neutron is broken down to a proton and a beta particle during radioactivity so with in nucleus beta particle is a part of neutron.
Nothing really. Beta particles are electrons or positrons (the antimatter counterpart of electrons), and alpha particles are two protons and two neutrons (a helium nucleus). I guess the only things that they share are speed, and particles in them that have electric charge.
Beta rays are also called beta particles. They are high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by a radioactive nucleus during beta decay.
Beta particles are electrons. Electrons have a negative charge. Nuclei are protons, with a positive charge, and neutrons, with no charge; thus the nucleus is positively charged. Positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged particles, and vice versa.
A beta particle is created when a neutron inside an unstable nucleus changes into a proton (or vice versa), losing energy and mass in the form of an electron (or positron), which is the beta particle.
No, beta particles consist of high-energy electrons or positrons that are emitted in certain types of radioactive decay. Helium nuclei have two protons and two neutrons and are called alpha particles.
It's not possible to change beta particles to alpha particles or vice versa; they're two very different things produced by different processes. Beta particles can be either electrons or they can be positrons, which are anti-electrons. Alpha particles are helium-4 nuclei, which are composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. Beta particles are produced in beta decay (one in each type), and alpha particles are produced in alpha decay. Both of these types of nuclear decay release particulate radiation. Links can be found below to check things out.
No, the nucleus does not change its overall charge when emitting beta and gamma particles simultaneously. Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons emitted during beta decay, whereas gamma particles are high-energy photons emitted during gamma decay. Both types of particles are neutral, so the overall charge of the nucleus remains the same.
Alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons emitted during radioactive decay, while beta particles are electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus) emitted during the decay of a neutron-rich or proton-rich nucleus, respectively. Alpha particles are larger, heavier, and carry a greater charge compared to beta particles.
No. But beta particles can either be electrons, or anti-electrons.
