Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
0/-1 e
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.
Depending on the type of beta decay, it's either an electron or its antiparticle, the positron.
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.
A beta particle is an electron or positron emitted during radioactive decay. It has a charge of -1 for electrons and +1 for positrons, and is lighter than an alpha particle. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino.
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
A beta particle can be an electron, or a positron (anti-electron).
The beta particle is an electron.
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
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.
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
it is an electron
an electron
Yes, a Beta minus particle (β-) is a single electron.
