What else can I help you with?
How many electrons are in a nitrogen particle?
There is one electron in a beta- particle, because a beta- particle is an electron and an electron antineutrino. A beta+ particle is a positron and an electron neutrino. A link can be found below to a related question that will help a bit in sorting out the puzzles surrounding beta particles.
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
What is an electron called that is produced when neutron decays?
It is still called an "electron".On the other hand, an electron that results from radioactive decay is also known as "beta radiation"; but please note that "beta radiation" may also refer to an antielectron.
What is beta perticle?
The beta particle is an electron.
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What is an electron called when it is being released during beta decay?
It is in beta minus decay that we see an electron appear to leave the nucleus of an atom. The electron is called a beta minus particle, or we might term that electron beta minus radiation.
When is the decay particle beta?
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
Does a beta particle have an identical charge to an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is either an electron or a positron. In beta decay, an electron is emitted (beta-minus decay), which has a negative charge, while a positron is emitted in beta-plus decay, which has a positive charge.
What do most scientists think a beta particle actually is?
A beta particle can be an electron, or a positron (anti-electron).
What are three types of beta decay?
There are two types of beta decay, and they are beta plus (beta +) decay and beta minus (beta -) decay. A post already exists on beta decay, and a link to that related question can be found below.
Atomic number increases by one during what type of radioactive decay?
Beta decays does. But alpha decay lowers it by 2.
Disintegration of a nucleus with the emission of an electron is known as what type of decay?
beta
