No. Beta particles are electrons (sometimes positrons, the antiparticles of electrons, are referred to as betas also).
"Negative meson" is not a specific particle. It would be a type of particle which is a) a meson, or two-quark hadron, and b) negatively charged. There are several particles which fit that description, but none of them are electrons (or positrons), which are not hadrons but leptons (a type of elementary particle, not made up of quarks at all).

No, a beta particle is an electron or positron. Mesons are not produced by radioactive decay, but appear in nature only as short-lived products of very high-energy interactions in matter and are composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by the strong interaction. Charged mesons decay (sometimes through intermediate particles) to form electrons and neutrinos. Uncharged mesons may decay to photons.

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.
Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?
Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.
Are beta emission and beta decay the same?
There is a difference between beta emitters and beta particles. In situations where an atomic nucleus exhibits nuclear instability due to too many neutrons for the number of protons or vice versa, that nucleus may undergo beta decay. It the decay event occurs, that atom is considered a beta emitter. The emitted particle is the beta particle. That's the difference. (There are two different beta particles, so check the articles on beta decay to get the scoop.)
What is the particle that is same as helium nucleus out of alpha and beta and gamma?
Alpha because it has a mass of 4
When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?
When a beta particle is released, the atom's mass remains approximately the same because it loses an electron, which has such a small mass in comparison to the whole atom that it is negligible.
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.
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.
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.
Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?
Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.
Is beta the same kind of radiation as alpha but does not have particles?
No Alpha radiation is essentially a helium nucleus - a couple of protons and neutrons bound together as a particle Beta radiation is an electron or positron - still a particle but not the same kind of particle as alpha.

Compounds that have the same number of positive and negative charges are said to be?
Compound having any positive or negative particle are said to be charged particle . it is not so that there should be same number of positive or negative infact these are called saturated particle .an atom carring positive particle are called cationwhile negative particle are called anionby MK
Why are alpha and beta rays deflected in opposite directions in a magnetic field?
An alpha particle, which is a 24He nucleus, has a mass of 4 and a charge of +2. A beta particle has a charge of +1 or -1, depending on whether it is a positron (beta +) or an electron (beta -). It's mass is minuscule compared to the alpha particle, and it will undergo a comparatively huge deflection in the same field as an alpha particle would. Though the alpha particle has twice the charge as a beta particle, it has several thousand times the mass of that beta particle. As it is so much more massive than the beta particle, its inertia will be much more difficult to overcome even though it has twice the charge.
What nuclear radiation is described by a radioactive particle having the same mass as an electron?
Beta
What is the particle that is same as helium nucleus out of alpha and beta and gamma?
Alpha because it has a mass of 4

What is the difference between colourless meson and colour singlet meson?
They're two ways of expressing the same idea. A "color singlet" meson is a meson consisting of a red-antired, green-antigreen, or blue-antiblue quark-antiquark pair. Since X-antiX cancels out, this is essentially the same thing as saying that the meson has no net overall color charge ... that is, it's colorless.
