What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two neutrons and two protons?
Used by Rutherford in his experiment made of two protons and two neutrons are alpha particles. Rutherford discovered the nucleus using his gold foil experiment.
How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
What represents a alpha particle?
An alpha particle is sometimes symbolized by the Greek lower case letter alpha (α). Also, because an alpha particle, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, is the nucleus of a helium-4 atom, you may see He2+ or 42He2+ used to write (symbolize) an alpha particle. This is particularly true in nuclear equations that are balanced in a manner similar to a chemical equation. Links can be found below.
Which has the largest mass alpha particle gamma ray positron or beta particle?
The alpha particle is much more massive than a beta particle. A beta particle is an electron, which has very little mass. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and consists of two protons and two neutrons.
The radioactive particle that is positively charged and has two protons and two neutrons is the?
An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
What is ionizing power of alpha particle?
it keeps no records of wrong
What is a particle of alpha?
Alpha particles are positively charged. They have low penetrating power but high ionizing power.
Why is beta and alpha penetration power different?
Beta and alpha are two different things. Beta has negative charges, Alpha has positive. Now the thing is that their ionizing powers also differ. Alpha has extremely HIGH ionizing power whereas Beta has comparatively less (gamma has no ionizing power). Basically alpha ionizes the particles around it very fast and there fore it cannot proceed further into the material, whereas Beta has less ionizing power and can therefore travel farther into the material as the particles around it don't get ionized as fast as alpha. (this is the same reason why gamma has such high penetration power, because it doesn't ionize substances at all). Basically alpha has least penetration power as the ionizing power is most, Beta has medium ionizing and penetration power (compared to alpha and gamma) Gamma has most penetration power as it's ionizing power is least. Hope that answers the question.
What are the characteristics of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is a type of nuclear decay product that consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together. It has a high ionizing potential and low penetration power, making it relatively easy to shield against. Alpha particles are commonly emitted by some radioactive materials such as uranium and radium.
What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?
An alpha particle
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
What kind of particle is released when Po-210 becomes Pb-206?
alpha particle dont ask why cuz i dont know
What is the same between alpha and beta decay?
both are particle ionizing radiation that comes as a result of nuclear transformation.
What particle is most ionizing if inhaled?
Alpha is the most ionizing, as it is looking for 2 electrons, and is a noble gas (meaning, once it gets a hold of those electrons it will not let them go).
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
What is the reason why alpha has the strongest ionizing power?
Alpha particles have the highest ionizing power because they are large, positively charged particles that interact strongly with electrons in matter. Due to their size and charge, alpha particles have a high probability of colliding with and ionizing atoms in their path, resulting in the transfer of energy and the creation of ion pairs.
An alpha particle is a form of ionizing radiation which consists of?
consists of two protons and two neutrons (ionized helium, He2+)
