Why are beta particle is attracted to the positive electric field?
A beta particle is essentially an electron. Electrons have a negative charge and as such, they are attracted to positively charged objects and fields.
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
Alpha particles and beta particles differ in?
Alpha particles are positively charged helium nuclei while beta particle are negatively charged electrons . Alpha particle have 4u mass while beta particles have zero mass.
When a beta particle is emitted does the mass number of the isotope remains unchanged?
With the ejection of a beta particle (electron), there is a minute loss of mass. Electrons have very low mass. The atomic number increases though as a neutron is transformed into a proton. A antineutrino is also ejected. In a similar process, positron emission also called beta decay,- a positron is emitted and a proton is transformed into a neutron, the atomic number decreases. A neutrino is also ejected.
What is a particle with a positive chatge?
A beta particle is an electron, and electrons are negative. You're probably thinking of a positron, which has the same mass as an electron but the opposite charge.
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.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
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.
Does Beta particles have a charge of 2?
no alpha particle is the one that consist of particle with a 2+ charge
Which type of particle has charge of -1 and a mass of 0?
Neutrons are particles of no charge. Electrons have negative charge.
Why are beta particle is attracted to the positive electric field?
A beta particle is essentially an electron. Electrons have a negative charge and as such, they are attracted to positively charged objects and fields.
An alpha particle is identical to?
Alpha particle has same effect with gamma rays in photographic effect ,both can can blacken a photographic film.And it has same effect with beta particles in the effect of electric and magnetic fields, both are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Is the beta a particle with positive electric charge?
A beta particle is an electron, and electrons are negative. You're probably thinking of a positron, which has the same mass as an electron but the opposite charge.
Is beta consisted by two protons and neutrons?
No, beta radiation is composed of electrons or positrons. An alpha particle is two protons and to neutrons.
