alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (helium nucleus) logically one neutron can not have a larger mass than two neutrons and two other subatomic particles of a similar mass
protons and nuetrons
Yes, beta particles typically travel further than alpha particles because they have a higher energy level. Alpha particles are heavier and more charged, so they interact with matter more readily and have a shorter range. Beta particles have less mass and charge, allowing them to penetrate further.
An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons (same as a Helium nucleus) so when a nucleus ejects an alpha it will defintely have less mass. Also it will be a new element because it has two less protons.
The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 4 amu (atomic mass units).
2.00 lbs the charge is alpha-magnetic
Alpha particles are larger and carry twice the charge of beta particles. As a result, alpha particles interact more strongly with atoms, leading to higher ionization energy. Moreover, due to their larger mass, alpha particles have a shorter range in matter and deposit more energy per unit distance, increasing their ionization potential.
Alpha particles have a higher mass and charge compared to beta minus particles, leading to stronger electromagnetic interactions with surrounding particles. As a result, the alpha particles experience more resistance and require more energy to be moved through a medium compared to beta minus particles.
Alpha or an He nucleus because it has a mass of 4 when all the others have a mass of close to zero.
No, protons and alpha particles are different. Alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons, while protons are fundamental particles that carry a positive electric charge. Protons have much smaller mass and energy compared to alpha particles.
The mass number = the number of protons + the number of nuetrons. Each of these particles is considered to have a mass of 1 amu. (atomic mass unit) For example, Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 nuetrons, so it's mass number = 27.
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that have no mass or charge, unlike alpha and beta particles which are charged particles. Gamma rays have higher energy and can penetrate deeper into materials compared to alpha and beta particles. They are also more difficult to shield against due to their high penetrating power.
Alpha particles are helium nuclei and consist of two protons and two neutrons. Their electric charge is +2 (+1 from each proton), and their mass number is 4, one for each proton and neutron. To describe their mass in other ways, it is 4.001506179125 atomic mass units, or 6.64465675 x 10-25 kg.
