What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
Why does a beta particle have a negative charge?
A beta particle is an electron or a positron emitted during radioactive decay. Electrons are negatively charged because they have an excess of electrons compared to protons. Positrons are positively charged because they have a deficiency of electrons compared to protons.
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
What represents a beta particle?
0/-1 e
Why are beta particle is attracted to the positive electric field?
Beta particles are electrons that have been emitted from the nucleus during beta decay. As negatively charged particles, they are attracted to positively charged electric fields due to the fundamental principle of opposite charges attracting each other. This attraction causes the beta particles to move towards the positive electric field.
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.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
How many electrons are in a nitrogen particle?
There is one electron in a beta- particle, because a beta- particle is an electron and an electron antineutrino. A beta+ particle is a positron and an electron neutrino. A link can be found below to a related question that will help a bit in sorting out the puzzles surrounding beta particles.
Does Beta particles have a charge of 2?
no alpha particle is the one that consist of particle with a 2+ charge
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.

It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
Is the beta a particle with positive electric charge?
A beta particle is an electron, and electrons are negative. You're probably thinking of a positron, which has the same mass as an electron but the opposite charge.
What electron is given off by a nucleus?
In nuclear decay processes, electrons called beta particles are emitted by a nucleus. Beta particles can either be a beta-minus particle (an electron) or a beta-plus particle (a positron).
What is the symbol of Beta-particle?
The symbol for a beta particle is either β- or e-, representing an electron. Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons emitted during the process of beta decay in certain radioactive nuclei.
An alpha particle is identical to?
Alpha particle has same effect with gamma rays in photographic effect ,both can can blacken a photographic film.And it has same effect with beta particles in the effect of electric and magnetic fields, both are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Is beta consisted by two protons and neutrons?
No, beta radiation is composed of electrons or positrons. An alpha particle is two protons and to neutrons.
