Ne is the atomic symbol for Neon. Neon has an atomic number of 10 - which also tells you that it has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with the isotope. The most common isotopes are

20Ne

,

21Ne

, and

22Ne

- in other words, Neon with 20-10 = 10 neutrons, 21-10 = 11 neutrons, and 22 - 10 = 12 neutrons. By far the most common isotope is

20Ne which represents about 90.5% of all the Neon isotopes.

What is the composition of a beta ray?

A beta ray consists of high-energy electrons or positrons emitted during the radioactive decay of certain isotopes. The composition of a beta ray includes these particles as well as neutrinos or antineutrinos emitted along with the electrons or positrons.


What radiations is not a part of the electromagnetic spectrum a microwave b X ray c beta ray d infrared?

Beta rays are electrons, not electromagnetic.


Why are beta particles different from cathode ray particles?

Beta particles can be electrons (beta-) or positrons (beta+), along with electron antineutrinos (beta-) or electron neutrinos (beta+). Cathode ray particles are just electrons. Since neutrinos have no charge, they do not interact well with matter. As a result, the electrons from beta- decay are nearly indistinguishable from the electrons in cathode rays, with the possible exception of their velocity.


Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?

Electrons are not directly involved in the creation of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation is made of electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus), and gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic radiation.


How many nucleons does a beta particle have?

None. A beta particle consists of a single electrons or positron.


Electrons come in two forms of beta particle?

No. But beta particles can either be electrons, or anti-electrons.


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 radiations is not a part of the electromagnetic spectrum a microwave b X-ray c beta ray d infrared?

c. beta ray


How many electrons does beta particle have?

A beta particle is typically an electron that is emitted during beta decay. This electron has a charge of -1 and a mass of approximately 1/1836 amu.


Beta radiation is made up of what?

There are 3 different types of radioactive decay. alpha decay, beta decay and gamma decay. alpha decay is composed of a helium nuclei, beta decay emit either electrons or positrons, and finally gamma decay in which high energy "rays" of photons. A positron is a positively charged electron (antimatter twin of the electron). See the natural decay series of U-238 and others to see which daughters emit beta to alpha or gamma. there is also the neutrino. I cant say we really know that much about it but basically it helps satisfy the law of conservation.


What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?

Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)


Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?

The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
