What else can I help you with?
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
Is radium identical to an alpha particle?
No. Radium is a heavy metal, atomic number 88 (with 88 protons). An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, atomic number 2. Radium decays by each atom emitting an alpha particle, becoming Radon gas, atomic nubmer 86.
Can you use the atomic number and atomic mass to calculate the number of each subatomic particle?
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
What atomic mass does a beta particle have?
A beta particle, which can be either an electron (β-) or a positron (β+), has a very small atomic mass of approximately 0.00054858 atomic mass units (amu) for an electron. This is significantly less than the atomic masses of protons and neutrons, which are about 1 amu each. In practical terms, the mass of a beta particle is often considered negligible compared to nucleons in atomic nuclei.
What sub atomic particle determines what the element is?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines what element it is. Each element has a unique number of protons, known as its atomic number.
Each fundamental atomic particle has an opposite particle A collision of these opposites will result in the annihilation of each particle These types of particles are referred to as?
Anti-matter. Antimatter.

What are the three atomic particles and the charge of each particle?
Neutron - no charge, Proton +1, Electron -1
What is the number of each subatomic particle for californium?
Californium has 98 protons and electrons. 98 is the atomic number of californium. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element
What number of each sub atomic particle would you find in the Se-80?
34 protons 34 electrons 46 neutrons
How do you figure out the subatomic particle numbers for each element?
Number of protons= Atomic number Number of neutrons= Mass number-Atomic number Number of electrons=Number of protons (If there is no charge on the atom)
What particle of an atoms tells us how to find the atomic number?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the atomic number. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus and identifies the element.
What is the smallest particle of an element that maintains the characteristics of the element?
The smallest particle of an element that maintains the characteristics of the element is an atom. Each element is composed of unique atoms with specific properties determined by its atomic structure.
