What else can I help you with?
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.
Positively charged particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is given off by a radioactive substance is called what?
A radiation particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is called an Alpha Particle. Alpha Particles have the same structure as a Helium nucleus. There are three forms of radiation, Alpha (Helium nucleus), Beta (a lone electron) and Gamma (an Electromagnetic wave).
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 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.
Nucleus of carbon atom?
Nucleus of the standard isotope of carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (carbon 12). Other Isotopes of carbon atoms are also possible, such as C14, which has 8 neutrons, and decays by beta particle emission into nitrogen.
When an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle is the atomic number increased by one unit?
Yes. When an atom emits a Bita particle, actually its the degradation of a neutral particle, i.e a neutron, which forms a proton and an electron. Since no electron can exist inside a nucleus, so it is emitted out as a bita particle, but the proton stays inside the nucleus, thereby increasing its atomic number by 1.
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What is emitted from the nucleus during beta decay?
During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino from the nucleus. The beta particle is emitted as the neutron decays into a proton, increasing the atomic number of the nucleus.
In a beta particle emission what does the neutron split into?
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle
How beta particles are emitted from nuclei as there are no electrons in nucleas of an atom than from where beta rays are emmited?
nucleus is a very complicated region and we known little about thattheoretically a neutron is broken down to a proton and a beta particle during radioactivity so with in nucleus beta particle is a part of neutron.
Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.
A high-energy electron from the nucleus?
beta particle
What is the high-energy electron from the nucleus?
Beta particle
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).
