The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender.
We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it.
The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.
A gamma ray is a form of electromagnetic energy. As such, it is said to have a rest mass of zero. A gamma ray, being electromagnetic energy, has some "particle-like" properties, as does other photonic radiation. But it moves at the speed of light in a vacuum and is generally said to be massless.
Gamma rays have no charge they are neutral
A gamma particle is an electron. It has a -1 charge.
Gamma radiation is an electromagnetic radiation and so it does not have any charge. It is a photon.
Gamma rays do not have a mass or a charge. Gamma rays are simply photons of electromagnetic radiation. These rays are given off by a nucleus that is experiencing radioactive decay.
Gamma rays are photons - they have no electric charge.
Gamma rays do not have a charge.
Gamma rays don't carry charge, BUT beta particles do - so a neutron must become a proton.
Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
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")]
Well central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charge electrons.
No. Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment.
Gamma rays don't carry charge, BUT beta particles do - so a neutron must become a proton.
Free radiation I suppose. But gamma radiation, is charge free. As is UV, IR, ... ..
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
No. Gamma rays are massless and have no charge

Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment. Hence they cannot be affected by either an electric or a magnetic field.
electron = relative charge = 1- relative mass = 1/1840 proton = relative charge = 1+ relative mass = 1 neutron = relative charge = 0 relative mass = 1
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.
