Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.
What is the particle that is same as helium nucleus out of alpha and beta and gamma?
Alpha because it has a mass of 4
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
What is the alpha and beta ray of silver -111?
There is only one type of alpha particle - a helium-4 nucleus. A beta particle can either be an electron or an anti-electron. However, consulting the Wikipedia article "Isotopes of silver", it seems that silver-111 has a beta-minus decay - that means that it emits a regular electron (which has a negative charge).
Does beta radiation have a helium nuleus?
A stream of helium nuclei is alpha radiation. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons.
What is another name for beta particle?
Positively charged helium atoms deprived of electrons. (2 protons 2 neutrons)

When tritium decays into helium-3 why is there an extra electron on the helium-3 side?
The tritium nucleus consists of one proton and two neutrons. In beta decay, one neutron changes to a proton and an electron (negative beta particle), also a neutrino. So the nucleus then consists of two protons and one neutron, which is He-3.
Do neutrons orbit outside the atom?
No, neutrons do not revolve around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus of an atoms. Electrons revolve around the nucleus. Beta emission the release of electron form the nucleus. Alpha emission is the emission of helium atom.
Positively charged particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is given off by a radioactive substance is called what?
A radiation particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is called an Alpha Particle. Alpha Particles have the same structure as a Helium nucleus. There are three forms of radiation, Alpha (Helium nucleus), Beta (a lone electron) and Gamma (an Electromagnetic wave).
What is the equation Bismuth-210 to Lead-206 decay?
Lead-210 decays by alpha or beta decay. The equation for the alpha decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 80206Hg + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. The equation for the beta decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 83210Bi + -10e where the -10e is an electron.
What are the three kinds of radiation?
· Alpha - a helium nucleus · Beta - a high speed electron · Gamma - an electromagnetic radiation of wavelength about 10-14 m.
What is a form of radioactive decay?
There are 3 forms:Alpha, ejection of a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons)Beta, this has 3 variants itself but all involve the same processes: -Beta, +Beta, and K captureGamma, ejection of a very high energy photonThe 3 variants of Beta decay are: -Beta, ejection of an electron and a neutrino, while a neutron in the nucleus becomes a proton+Beta, ejection of a positron and a neutrino, while a proton in the nucleus becomes a neutronK capture, capture of an electron from the innermost shell (K shell) and ejection of a neutrino, while a proton in the nucleus becomes a neutron
Does beta radiation have a helium nuleus?
A stream of helium nuclei is alpha radiation. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons.
