What else can I help you with?
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha 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.
In a beta particle emission what does the neutron split into?
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
What is the charge for a beta particle?
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
What are the properties of an Beta particle?
A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
What is the charge of a beta particle?
A beta particle has a charge of -1, which means it is negatively charged.
What is beta perticle?
The beta particle is an electron.
Positively charged particle that is also beta particle?
A positron is a positively charged particle that is also a beta particle. It is the antimatter counterpart of the electron, with the same mass but opposite charge. Positrons are commonly produced in beta plus decay processes.
When is the decay particle beta?
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
How many nucleons does a beta particle have?
None. A beta particle consists of a single electrons or positron.
How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
