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.
Is it true that beta particles have a charge of2 plus?
No. Beta- particles, electrons, have a charge of -1, and beta+ particles, positrons, have a charge of +1.The alpha particle has a charge of +2.
Does Beta particles have a charge of 2?
no alpha particle is the one that consist of particle with a 2+ charge
What is a charge of beta?
Beta rays have negative electrical charge.
Beta particles are attracted by atomic nuclei because?
Beta particles are electrons. Electrons have a negative charge. Nuclei are protons, with a positive charge, and neutrons, with no charge; thus the nucleus is positively charged. Positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged particles, and vice versa.
Alpha or beta types of radiation is composed of particles with a charge and mass identical to that of an electron?
beta
Does nucleus changes its charge while emitting from beta and gamma particles simultaneously?
Gamma rays don't carry charge, BUT beta particles do - so a neutron must become a proton.
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")]
When an alpha particle joins with two beta particles what will be the total charge?
Neutral -zero charge
Why were a few alpha particles reflected at large angles?
yes it is
How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?
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.
Why does a beta particle have a negative charge?
A beta particle has an electric charge of -1 because beta particles are both lightweight and fast moving, they have a greater penetrating power than alpha particles.
