A beta particle can be an electron, or a positron (anti-electron).
it is an electron
an electron
If you think to a beta particle the symbol is β.
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
The strength of a beta particle is its ability to cross the absorber to reach the detector.Now the strength of a beta particle depends upon the energy of the beta particle and thickness of the absorber.
A beta particle is an electron or positron emitted during radioactive decay. It has a charge of -1 for electrons and +1 for positrons, and is lighter than an alpha particle. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino.
Depending on the type of beta decay, it's either an electron or its antiparticle, the positron.
an alpha particle
The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
A machine that smashes atoms together in order to observe what the universe may have looked like seconds after the "Big Bang" is called a particle accelerator. who ever is asking this is wondering what its CALLED not what it does! btw: Particle accelerator.
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
