What is the charge for a beta particle?
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
What is the charge of a beta particle?
A beta particle has a charge of -1, which means it is negatively charged.
Are alpha particles or beta particles more highly charged?
An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).
How many electrons does beta particle have?
A beta particle is typically an electron that is emitted during beta decay. This electron has a charge of -1 and a mass of approximately 1/1836 amu.
What are two ways that an alpha particle is different from the electron beta-decay particle?
A alpha particle is a helium-4, written 24He, nucleus, and it is composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons fused together. It's charge is +2. A beta particle could be either a beta + particle, which is a positron, or a beta - particle, which is an electron. The electron (beta -) has a charge of -1, and the positron (beta +) has a charge of +1. In summary, the alpha is +2, the beta minus is -1, and the beta plus is +1.
What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]
Does a beta particle have a -2 charge?
no its charge is -1
What is the mass and charge of beta particle?
A beta particle is an electron (β-) or a positron (β+). The mass of a beta particle is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms for an electron and the same for a positron. The charge of a beta particle is -1 elementary charge for an electron and +1 elementary charge for a positron.
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
What is the strength of a beta particle?
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.
