How many protons will uranium have after releasing a beta particle?
It depends on whether the beta decay sequence is beta- or beta+. In beta-, the atom will gain a proton, changing into neptunium. In beta+, the atom will lose a proton, changing into protactinium.
What is beta perticle?
The beta particle is an electron.
What correctly describes the charge of beta particles and alpha particles?
Beta particles, from beta- decay, have a charge of -1. Beta particles, from beta+ decay, have a charge of +1. Alpha particles have a charge of +2.
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 difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus 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.
If you detect a predominance of beta waves in a subject undergoing a sleep experiment the subject is most likely?
Not experiencing normal deep sleep as beta waves are associated with wakefulness and alertness. This could indicate that the subject is not in a deep sleep stage but instead in a light sleep or possibly even awake.
If you detect a prodominance of beta waves in a subject undergoing a sleep experiment the subject most likely?
not asleep
When was Beta Beta Beta created?
Beta Beta Beta was created in 1922.
What is the motto of Beta Beta Beta?
Beta Beta Beta's motto is 'Blepein Basin Biou'.
What is one method a scientist might use to study sleep and learn about sleep habits?
One method a scientist might use is polysomnography, where a person's sleep is monitored using various measurements such as brain waves, eye movements, and muscle activity. This can provide detailed information about sleep stages and patterns. Additionally, keeping a sleep diary or using actigraphy (a device that tracks movement) can help gather information about an individual's sleep habits over time.
How can brain waves produced during REM sleep be described?
The frequency of your brain waves during REM sleep are beta (which incidentally occurs during the waking state as well). These are low voltage, high frequency waves.
What happens to your body when you sleep?
Brain waves; alpha, beta and delta transcend through the brain in order for it to become immune to a disease and for better health :) Dr. Iyeen
What comes before Alpha?
Nothing. It is the first letter in the Greek Alphabet. It is correct that alpha is the first letter in the Greek Alphabet. For some reason, people doing research on sleep have defined the activity of the alert, awake brain as "beta waves". Then when in a relaxed or dreaming state, the brain produces "alpha waves". Deeper sleep is characterized by theta waves, and the deepest sleep produces delta waves. So from this perspective, beta comes before alpha. But be ready to explain, because people will think you are wrong.
What are three types of beta decay?
There are two types of beta decay, and they are beta plus (beta +) decay and beta minus (beta -) decay. A post already exists on beta decay, and a link to that related question can be found below.
