What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false that an alpha particle has a double positive charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
True. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and it has a double positive charge because it has lost the 2 electrons that were originally part of the helium atom.
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.
Is it true or false Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom?
False. A proton is found inside the nucleus of an atom.
Is the following true or false An alpha particle has a double charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
True, it lost its only two electrons, which makes it consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons
Is it true or false that a gamma ray is a very high-speed particle with no charge?
True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.
An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?
An atom that carries an electric charge is called an ion, not a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms that have no charge. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
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.
An alpha particle is equivalent to a hydrogen nucleus. True False?
False. An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus.
If an particle hits a gold nucleus in a head on collision the particle will not be deflected very much?
Correct, due to the massive size of the gold nucleus compared to the size of the incoming particle, the particle will not experience a large deflection in a head-on collision. This is because of the concentrated positive charge in a small space in the gold nucleus that causes a very strong Coulomb repulsion when the incoming particle gets close to it.
What type of subatomic particle don't have a charge?
The subatomic particle that does not have a charge is the Neutron.The Proton carries a positive charge and an Electron, a negative.
Is it true or false that the atomic number of carbon is 6 so it must contain l2 electrons?
False. The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in its nucleus. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, so it has 6 protons and typically 6 electrons to maintain a neutral charge, not 12 electrons.
What particle in a atom has no charge?
Neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom, have a neutral charge which is neither positive or negative.Protons, also found in the nucleus, have a positive charge and electrons, found orbiting the nucleus in the electron clouds, have a negative charge. A neutrally charged atom has neither a positive charge or a negative charge.An easy way to remember this is:Protons PositiveElectronsNeutrons NeutralTry not to get neutrons mixed up with protons because it starts with an "N".
Is it true or false that an alpha particle has a double positive charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
True. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and it has a double positive charge because it has lost the 2 electrons that were originally part of the helium atom.
The atomic number for an element is the total number of subatomic particles?
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
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.
Is it true or false Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom?
False. A proton is found inside the nucleus of an atom.
Is the following true or false An alpha particle has a double charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
True, it lost its only two electrons, which makes it consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons
