Which particle is most massive in radioactivity?
You think probable to alpha particles.
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
Is alpha particle is heavy particle?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has a mass of about 4 atomic mass units.
Why the alpha particles could not smash the nucleus apart?
The alpha particle is positively charged (as is the nucleus) and is heavy compared with the neutron that is neutral and lighter than the alpha particle.Another viewpoint:It depends what experiment the question is about. For example, over a hundred years ago, Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles and some "bounced off" what we now call the nucleus of the atoms. However, about ten years later he did experiments in which alpha particles did indeed "split" atomic nuclei. So, sometimes alpha particles can certainly smash a nucleus apart.
What is made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons?
In terms of radioactivity it is an alpha particle.
Is alpha particle a type of photon?
No, an alpha particle is not a type of photon. Alpha particles are composed of two protons and two neutrons, while photons are massless particles of light.
Who said atoms were made up of subatomic particles?
Rutherford proved it it from his alpha-particle scattering experiment.
Is alpha particles heavier than beta particles?
Yes. A beta particle is just an electron, while an alpha particle is effectively a helium nucleus - two protons plus two neutrons. Protons (and neutrons) are each about 2000 times heavier than an electron. Therefore, an alpha particle is about 8000 times heavier than a beta particle.
How many protron and neutron particles does alpha have?
An alpha particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons.
What is a subatomic particle with two neutrons that is emitted during some types of radioactive decay called?
This would be the alpha particle. An alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons, and it's actually a helium-4 nucleus. That's why we write this particle like this: 42He or He+2 Use the links below for more information.
Is alpha radiation uncharged?
No, alpha particles are not uncharged. An alpha particle is actually a helium-4 nucleus, and that means it's composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. It will have an overall charge of +2, and we often write the alpha particle as He++ or He2+. The related question on what an alpha particle is can be found below. Check it out.
Does alpha have a 1 plus charge?
An alpha particle has the charge 2+ and the mass 4.
What subatomic particle has the longest wave length a neutron proton electron or alpha particle?
energy
Are alpha particle negative or positive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it has a charge of +2.
Which particle is composed of 2 neutrons and 2 protons?
An alpha particle.
Does alpha particles have less mass the beta particles?
An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons (same as a Helium nucleus) so when a nucleus ejects an alpha it will defintely have less mass. Also it will be a new element because it has two less protons.
Which subatomic particle is present in the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic particles that make up an alpha are two protons and two neutrons. The subatomic particles are contained within the neutrons & protons and there are too many to list here, plus I don't know all of them.
