Best Answer

Ne is the atomic symbol for Neon. Neon has an atomic number of 10 - which also tells you that it has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with the isotope. The most common isotopes are

20Ne

,

21Ne

, and

22Ne

- in other words, Neon with 20-10 = 10 neutrons, 21-10 = 11 neutrons, and 22 - 10 = 12 neutrons. By far the most common isotope is

20Ne which represents about 90.5% of all the Neon isotopes.

One, if it is beta-, along with the antineutrino. None, if it is beta+, along with the neutrino. (It is a positron in the latter case)

Why are beta particles different from cathode ray particles?

Beta particles can be electrons (beta-) or positrons (beta+), along with electron antineutrinos (beta-) or electron neutrinos (beta+). Cathode ray particles are just electrons. Since neutrinos have no charge, they do not interact well with matter. As a result, the electrons from beta- decay are nearly indistinguishable from the electrons in cathode rays, with the possible exception of their velocity.


What is the composition of a beta ray?

it's composition is high-energy eletromagnetic radiation


What radiations is not a part of the electromagnetic spectrum a microwave b X ray c beta ray d infrared?

Beta rays are electrons, not electromagnetic.


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.


How many electrons does beta particle have?

1


How many nucleons does a beta particle have?

None. A beta particle consists of a single electrons or positron.


Electrons come in two forms of beta particle?

No. But beta particles can either be electrons, or anti-electrons.


Does beta radiation results in the emission of electrons?

In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.


When was Beta Ray Bill created?

Beta Ray Bill was created in 1983.


What does beta decay release?

Beta radiation, which consists either of electrons or of anti-electrons (positrons).


Is beta ray bill thor?

No beta ray bill is not thor because thor was born in asgard and beta ray bill was born in another planet so no he is not thor.


What form of nuclear radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x ray?

Just below the X-ray spectrum is the spectrum of ultraviolet light. UV light has just slightly less energy than the "softest" X-rays.Gamma radiation differs from x-rays only in that it doesn't come from an artificial source.
