With very, very, very high energy, you can get electrons near the speed of light. But they will never reach the speed of light - this is due to them having mass. This is the type of work being done at Accelerator centers like in America (FERMI LAB) and in Europe (CERN). They speed the electrons up to near the speed of light then collide them into each other to learn about these effects of this.

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.


Differences of a proton and electron?

Protons are in the nucleus of an atom while electrons are in the electron cloud. Electrons can also travel to other atoms and are very fast moving. Protons are very large whereas electrons are 2,000 times smaller than protons.Proton mass is about 1836 times electron mass.Proton charge is positive, electron charge is negative.Proton is hadron, electron is lepton.Proton contains 3 quarks (UUD), electron contains no quarks.Proton responds to strong force, electron does not.Proton is usually in nucleus, electron is usually in orbitals far from nucleus.


How state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that have a comparatively low amount of kinetic energy which does not allow the particles to break free from the attractive forces between themW?

In a state of matter with low kinetic energy, such as a solid or a liquid, the particles (atoms or molecules) are not moving as fast as in a gas, so they are held together by strong attractive forces. These forces prevent the particles from breaking free and moving independently, giving the substance its characteristic shape and volume.


What holds electrons in their shells?

The electrons "orbit" the nucleus of an atom. They do so because they are attracted to the positive charge of the protons inside the nucleus. They do not usually leave the atom because of this attraction, and do not usually fall into the nucleus because they are moving.


Are the particles in a solid moving or still?

Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.

What state is matter when the particles are moving so fast that some of the electrons are ripped off its?

The matter is in the plasma state. Plasma is a state of matter where the particles are so energized that atoms lose some of their electrons, resulting in a mixture of positively charged ions and free electrons. Plasma is commonly found in stars, lightning, and certain types of technology like plasma TVs.


The state of matter in which particles move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them is a?

If the particles are electrically neutral the state of matter is a gas. If the particles ore ionized - a "soup" of electrons and positively charged ions, it is a plasma.


Where are electrons in atoms?

Electrons are found orbiting the nucleus of an atom. The reason they orbit is because the nucleus is positively charged, consisting of protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Of course, different charges attract. So the electrons (negative) are attracted to the positively charged nucleus, but are moving so fast that their momentum exactly cancels out the attraction to the nucleus. If the electrons were orbiting any faster, they would fly out of the atom. If they were orbiting any slower, they would eventually become part of the nucleus.
