beta particle
its funny how everyone uses this to finish the same chem test..haha
The energy of the electron released by the beta-decay of a neutron is approx. 0,78 MeV.
The inner, or K shell, of the electron cloud has the least energy.
Electron
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
The electron has the least mass of the three mentioned. That's why the valance electrons are the determining factor in most reactions. The proton closely follows the neutron because they are exactly the same except for charge. This leaves the the electron as the lightest sub-atomic particle.
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
No, a neutron is about 1836 times the mass of an electron
An electron has a negative charge to it, whilst a neutron has a neutral charge to it.
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
The proton has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge. And the neutron has a no charge.
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
The electron has only a small fraction of the mass of the neutron. The neutron is about 1837 times as massive as the electron. The proton is just a tiny bit less massive as the neutron, so the proton and neutron are said to have about the same amount of mass.

Mg+2 and Br-1
This particle is the neutron.
