The alpha particle is actually a helium-4 (4He++) nucleus, and it's composed of two protons and two neutrons. This gives it an overall positive charge. When directed between the electrodes as asked, its positive charge will cause it to be attracted by the negative electrode and repelled by the positive electrode. It's simple electrostatics with opposite charges attracting and like charges repelling. The gamma ray is high energy electromagnetic radiation. It will pass between the electrodes and be unaffected.
No, ionic bonds form between particles with opposite charges.
An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.
Electrons are negatively charged (around the nucleus) and protons are positively charged (inside the nucleus)
A positively charged particle is called a proton. A negatively charged particle is called an electron.
Sure, here is a concept map for you: Anode: positive electrode in an electrical cell where oxidation occurs Cathode: negative electrode where reduction takes place Electron: negatively charged subatomic particle found in atoms Alpha particle: a type of nuclear radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons Proton: positively charged subatomic particle found in atomic nuclei Neutron: neutral subatomic particle found in atomic nuclei Electron cloud: region around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found
No, a negatively charged particle (electron) has a negative charge associated with it. A neutral particle (neutron) is neither negatively charged nor positively charged.
An electron is a negative fundamental particle.
yes. negatively charged ion is called cation and where as a positively charged ion is anion.
They ATTRACT. I.e A negatively charged object/particle will be attracted to a positively charged object/particle.
No, ionic bonds form between particles with opposite charges.
Electrons--the cathode is negatively charged, the anode is positively charged.
Protons are positively charged Neutrons have no charge Electrons are negatively charged.
The main negatively charged particle in an atom is the electron. The electron controls the reactivity of an element. An even smaller particle is a quark, which composes protons and neutrons. Quarks can be either positively or negatively charged.
a neutron, a proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged :)
In an atom, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. If the number of protons and electrons are equal, those atoms are said to be neutral. If they are not equal, it has formed an ion with the net charge.
A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, while an electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus.
Electrons are negatively charged (around the nucleus) and protons are positively charged (inside the nucleus)
