What correctly describes the charge of beta particles and alpha particles?

Beta particles, from beta- decay, have a charge of -1. Beta particles, from beta+ decay, have a charge of +1. Alpha particles have a charge of +2.


How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?

From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]


Are alpha particles or beta particles more highly charged?

An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).


How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?

Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.


Does nucleus changes its charge while emitting from beta and gamma particles simultaneously?

Gamma rays don't carry charge, BUT beta particles do - so a neutron must become a proton.

Beta particles are attracted by atomic nuclei because?

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.


Alpha or beta types of radiation is composed of particles with a charge and mass identical to that of an electron?

How many particles do alpha particles contain?

Beta particles have an electrical charge of -1. Beta particles have a mass of 549 millionths of one atomic mass unit, or AMU, which is about 1/2000 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
