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.


What is a beta partical?

A Beta Particle is a high energy electron that comes from the nucleus, not from the electron cloud. However, the nucleus contains only protons and neutrons. During this kind of transmutation, a neutron becomes unstable and splits into an electron and a proton. The electron, or beta particle, is released with a large amount of energy. The proton however, remains in the nucleus.P.S. I got this information out of my Science text book. (:

its called a beta particle, but its an electron


What particle is given off during the change from protactinium to uranium?

Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.


What atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?

no


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.


Positively charged particle that is also beta particle?

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.


Charged particles that are given off by the nuclei of radioisotopes as they decay are called?

Either an Alpha particle or Beta particle depending on what isotope it comes from
