Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.
The energy released during the ionization of a non-metal is called the?
The energy released during the ionization of a non-metal is called the ionization energy. It represents the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom to form a positively charged ion.
What is lost during radioactive decay?
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?
No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
What atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?
A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.
What represents a beta particle?
0/-1 e
Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?
No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called a?
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called an emission. Light/energy emissions are released in a characteristic manner (wavelength) that corresponds to the amount of energy lost.
What is the strength of attachment of an electron to the nucleus is called the?
The strength of attachment of an electron to the nucleus is called the ionization energy. It represents the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.
What is the lowest possible energy of an electron called?
The lowest possible energy of an electron is called the ground state energy.
What is a unit of radioactive energy called?
i believe it is curie
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called?
proton
