What happens to the total number of nucleons during beta decay?
The total number of nucleons remains the same during beta decay. A neutron is converted into a proton and an electron (beta particle), so the total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) stays constant.
When an atom emits a beta particle the number of nucleons?
In this case the atomic number is increased with one.
When a beta particle is emitted the mass number of a necleus are?
When a beta particle is emitted, the mass number of the nucleus remains the same. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, which does not affect the total number of nucleons in the nucleus.
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
The fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is?
nucleons teri to..... nucleons teri to.....
What is the strength of a beta particle?
The strength of a beta particle is its ability to cross the absorber to reach the detector.Now the strength of a beta particle depends upon the energy of the beta particle and thickness of the absorber.
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?
The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
How many electrons does beta particle have?
A beta particle is typically an electron that is emitted during beta decay. This electron has a charge of -1 and a mass of approximately 1/1836 amu.
How many nucleons does an alpha particle contain?
An ALPHA particle may be thought of a a helium nucleus. It contains two protons and two neutrons. An alpha particle is a high speed helium nucleus (He^(2+)).
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.
When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle
