What is the alpha and beta ray of silver -111?
There is only one type of alpha particle - a helium-4 nucleus. A beta particle can either be an electron or an anti-electron. However, consulting the Wikipedia article "Isotopes of silver", it seems that silver-111 has a beta-minus decay - that means that it emits a regular electron (which has a negative charge).
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
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 an alpha a particle or a wave?
Beta is a particle. In beta- it is an electron and an electron antineutrino. In beta+ it is a positron and an electron neutrino.
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.

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.
Is an alpha a particle or a wave?
Beta is a particle. In beta- it is an electron and an electron antineutrino. In beta+ it is a positron and an electron neutrino.
Why can beta particle not exist inside the nucleus?
because it is an electron which orbits the nucleus
A high energy electron that comes from the nucleus not from the electron cloud?
beta particle
What is another name for beta particle?
Positively charged helium atoms deprived of electrons. (2 protons 2 neutrons)
