What else can I help you with?
Is alpha particles heavier than beta particles?
Yes. A beta particle is just an electron, while an alpha particle is effectively a helium nucleus - two protons plus two neutrons. Protons (and neutrons) are each about 2000 times heavier than an electron. Therefore, an alpha particle is about 8000 times heavier than a beta particle.
Is a beta particle Heavier or close to the mass of a alpha particle?
No. Its not even close. An alpha particle is two neutrons and two protons, while a beta particle (from beta- decay) is just an electron, which has one 1836th the mass of a proton.
Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
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.
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.
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
What is the same between alpha and beta decay?
both are particle ionizing radiation that comes as a result of nuclear transformation.
Radium-228 decays by alpha decay Part of the nuclear equation is shown?
224
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
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.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
