Gamma Rays are electromagnetic radiation , just like light is, and it travels the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s . It will always be the fastest because alpha's & beta's are particles with mass and cannot travel the speed of light. The speeds of alpha's & beta's can be different in different situations and do not always have the same speed, like gammas.
What else can I help you with?
Is the particle with a plus 2 charge a an alpha particle b a gamma ray or c a beta ray?
a. an alpha particle
What is an electron or particle similar to an electron emitted from the nucleus with negligible mass and a charge of -1?
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.
Why can beta particle not exist inside the nucleus?
because it is an electron which orbits the nucleus
What instrument do scientists use to smash together tiny bits of matter?
A machine that smashes atoms together in order to observe what the universe may have looked like seconds after the "Big Bang" is called a particle accelerator. who ever is asking this is wondering what its CALLED not what it does! btw: Particle accelerator.
Is succession a quick or slow moving process?
fast
Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?
No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.
What is a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay and has a negative chare?
its called a beta particle, but its an electron
What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?
Beta decay releases a fast-moving electron (beta particle) from a neutron in the nucleus. During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and the electron and an antineutrino are emitted to conserve charge and energy.
What is a fast moving electron?
Fast moving electrons are equivalent to beta radiation.
What is a fast-moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay.?
One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino
Which type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is a fast moving electron ejected from the nucleus?
A fast moving electron given off as part of a nuclear reactions is a beta particle. Also, anti-electrons, known as positrons, are beta particles. Electrons are involved in beta- decay, along with anti-neutrinos; and positrons are involved in beta+ decay, along with neutrinos.
What particle alpha or beta is more massive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta particles are fast moving electrons that are emitted from a nucleus when a neutron decays into a proton and an electron. Since 1 electron has 1/1837 the mass of a proton, the alpha particle is roughly 7348 times the mass of the electron.
A fast moving electron that is given off as a nuclear radiation is called?
Ok if what your looking for is an electron released from radioactive decay, it's a beta particle, which is created in beta decay =]In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a third particle called an antineutrino. The nucleus ejects the electron and antineutrino, while the proton remains in the nucleus. The ejected electron is referred to as a beta particle. The nucleus loses one neutron and gains one proton. For example, a hydrogen-3 atom undergoing beta decay becomes a helium-3 atom.So simply, its a beta particle. But I also gave you a science explanation.Feel proud man =D
What are three types of beta decay?
There are two types of beta decay, and they are beta plus (beta +) decay and beta minus (beta -) decay. A post already exists on beta decay, and a link to that related question can be found below.
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
What is the strength of a beta particle?
The strength of a beta particle is its ability to cross the absorber to reach the detector.Now the strength of a beta particle depends upon the energy of the beta particle and thickness of the absorber.
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.
