What else can I help you with?
Which particle is most massive in radioactivity?
You think probable to alpha particles.
What particle alpha or beta is more massive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta particles are fast moving electrons that are emitted from a nucleus when a neutron decays into a proton and an electron. Since 1 electron has 1/1837 the mass of a proton, the alpha particle is roughly 7348 times the mass of the electron.
Is alpha particle the slowest?
For a given amount of energy, yes. Because its the most massive.
Which has the largest mass alpha particle gamma ray positron or beta particle?
The alpha particle is much more massive than a beta particle. A beta particle is an electron, which has very little mass. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and consists of two protons and two neutrons.
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.
How manyneutrons are in an alpha particle?
There are 2 neutron in an alpha particle.
Is alpha particle found inside the nucleus?
No, although some theories suggest that there is a tendency of protons and neutrons in massive nuclei to temporarily group into alpha particle like clusters. Such clustering predicts differences in stability between different isotopes.
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.
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)
Which particle is the lightest particale in the following 1. electon 2. neutron 3. proton 4. a-particles?
The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
