Why do alpha particle have higher ionizaion energy than beta particle?
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.
What is a particle that cannot penetrate paper?
A beta particle with low energy or a gamma ray with low energy might not be able to penetrate paper as paper can act as a barrier to these types of particles.
What is the electrical charge of an alpha particle?
The electric charge of an alpha particle is positive. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus (which being a nucleus has a positive charge)
What is the charge of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
How is an alpha particle likely to transfer its energy?
An alpha particle is most likely to transfer its energy through ionization and excitation of atoms in the medium it passes through. This process involves the removal of electrons from atoms and the promotion of electrons to higher energy levels, resulting in the production of free radicals and secondary particles.
What particle has high Energy Alpha or Beta?
Gamma
What subatomic particle has the longest wave length a neutron proton electron or alpha particle?
energy
What is an alpha particle equivilent to?
An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus, or a helium-4 ion. A difference is that an alpha particle has a certain amount of energy associated with it, so it can said to be fast or hot. The energy is measured in thousands or millions of electron volts (keV or MeV).
Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?
Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.
How manyneutrons are in an alpha particle?
There are 2 neutron in an alpha particle.
Why do alpha particle have higher ionizaion energy than beta particle?

Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
Is alpha particle non fundamental?
Yes, the alpha particle is nonfundamental.
Is alpha particle the slowest?
For a given amount of energy, yes. Because its the most massive.
An electron is to a beta particle as helium is to a?
An electron is to a beta particle as helium is to an alpha particle. Both beta particles and alpha particles are types of radioactive decay products, with beta particles being high-energy electrons and alpha particles being helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons.
What is a particle that cannot penetrate paper?
A beta particle with low energy or a gamma ray with low energy might not be able to penetrate paper as paper can act as a barrier to these types of particles.
Which type of radiation is simialar to a helium atom?
I believe that is called "Alpha Emission".
