What is a stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons?

A stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. Alpha particles are emitted during alpha decay in radioactive processes. They have a positive charge and are relatively heavy compared to other types of particles.


Are alpha rays neutrons?

Alpha particles are helium nuclei -- each particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons. A stream of alpha particles may be called a ray, although as it is not electromagnetic radiation that is probably inaccurate.


What is a stream of charged protons and electrons called?

A stream of charged particles is called an electrical current.


What particle does Radium produced a steady stream?

Radium primarily produces a steady stream of alpha particles as it undergoes radioactive decay. These alpha particles are helium nuclei, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, and are emitted during the decay process of radium isotopes. This emission is a characteristic feature of radium's radioactivity and contributes to its use in various applications, including radiotherapy.

What is a stream of particles produced by the corona?

A stream of particles produced by the corona is known as the solar wind. It consists of charged particles, such as electrons and protons, that are continuously emitted from the Sun's outer atmosphere. These particles can interact with the Earth's magnetic field and cause phenomena like auroras.


How would the result of Thomsons experiment change if the beam were a stream of neutrons instead of a stream of electrons?

If the beam were a stream of neutrons instead of electrons, Thomson's experiment could not have been conducted as neutron beams do not produce deflection in electric or magnetic fields like electron beams do. Neutrons are neutral and would not be affected by the fields in the same way as electrons, leading to different experimental outcomes.


What is a fast moving stream of particles released into space called?

A fast-moving stream of particles released into space is called a solar wind. It is composed of charged particles, such as protons and electrons, that are expelled from the Sun and can interact with planetary magnetospheres.


Particles carried by a stream or river?

A load is the term for particles carried by a stream or river.


What are solar winds made of?

The sun radiates huge amounts of light, and it also sends out a continuous stream of charged particles. These charged particles, which are ejected from the upper solar atmosphere, are primarily electrons and protons. And they are the primary constituents of what is called the solar wind, which is the name we give to this plasma that streams out from the sun on a continuous basis. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia post on the solar wind. More information can be found there. a constant stream of particles that are blown from all directions to the sun


What is the measure of the largest particles of a stream can carry?

The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
