A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]
What is the relative charge of gamma particles?
The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender. We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it. The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.
What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge. True or false?
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.

True or false gamma rays are negitively charged?
False. Gamma rays are photons (light pieces), and have zero charge.
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 particle has no electrical charge?
neutron. if your talking about radiation, gamma
What is gamma particle?
A gamma particle is a high-energy photon emitted as a result of radioactive decay. Gamma particles have no mass or charge, allowing them to penetrate deeply into materials and tissues. They are commonly used in various applications such as gamma imaging in medicine and industry.

The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.
Do gamma rays have a charge?
No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.
Why does the presence of gamma rays not affect how a nuclear equation of alpha is balance?
Gamma rays do not have mass or charge, so they do not contribute to the balance of a nuclear equation that involves the emission of an alpha particle. The alpha particle carries away the mass and charge necessary to balance the nuclear equation.
What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
What is gamma particle symbolized by?
γ (gamma) is a photon.
