Does beta radiation results in the emission of electrons?
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
Which type of nuclear radiation (nuclear emission) has the greatest mass?
Alpha or an He nucleus because it has a mass of 4 when all the others have a mass of close to zero.
What type of radiation is not affected by magnetic fields?
Charged particles will be deflected by an electric field. The movement of any charged particle through an electric field will cause that charged particle to be attracted by one pole of the field and repelled by the other. That leaves uncharged particulate radiation, like a neutron, and electromagnetic radiation that will not be deflected by an electric field. The electromagnetic radiation will include X-rays and gamma rays.
Which of the following particles is not part of an atom A proton B electron C neutron D pozitron?
pozitron
Differences between the four main types of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays and neutron emission?
There are only three types of nuclear radiation - Alpha, Beta & Gamma.
Does beta radiation results in the emission of electrons?
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
What type of nuclear radiation can travel farthest through matter?
neutron emission
Are all the radiations are electro magnetic radiations?
No, not all radiation is electromagnetic radiation, though some is. Exceptions: Neutron radiation - Emission of neutrons. Alpha decay - Emission of a helium-4 nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). Beta radiation - Emission of electrons.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
What word is used to describe the particles and energy that are emitted by a nucleus?
radioactivity
Which type of nuclear radiation (nuclear emission) has the greatest mass?
Alpha or an He nucleus because it has a mass of 4 when all the others have a mass of close to zero.
How many protons are in a neutron?
Technically they are two totally different particles. That being said, in beta emission a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron is released.

The movement of any charged particle through an electric field will cause that charged particle to be attracted by one pole of the field and repelled by the other. That leaves uncharged particulate radiation, like a neutron, and electromagnetic radiation that will not be deflected by an electric field. The electromagnetic radiation will include X-rays and gamma rays.
What is each type of radiation with the correct description?
Alpha, beta and gamma are three types associated with radioactive decay. Alpha particles are essentially helium nuclei. They are massive, somewhat slow moving particles comprised of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles are high speed electrons ejected from the nucleus of an atom. Gamma rays are a highly energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Whereas a sheet of paper is thick enough to protect against alpha particles, a sheet of tin sufficient defense against beta rays, a foot or so of lead (or several feet of concrete) are required to protect against gamma rays. Heat, visible light, and radio waves are other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What particles carries no charge?
In the atom neutron hasn't an electrical charge.
Which of the following particles is not part of an atom A proton B electron C neutron D pozitron?
pozitron
