There is only one type of alpha particle - a helium-4 nucleus. A beta particle can either be an electron or an anti-electron. However, consulting the Wikipedia article "Isotopes of silver", it seems that silver-111 has a beta-minus decay - that means that it emits a regular electron (which has a negative charge).
What else can I help you with?
What radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Electrons are not directly involved in the creation of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation is made of electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus), and gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
Which ray is the fastest gamma alpha beta?
Gamma rays. Since they are electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light.
Does gamma ray beta or alpha release electrons?
Gamma rays do not release electrons; they are a form of electromagnetic radiation and do not consist of particles like alpha or beta particles. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, while beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons. In radioactive decay, beta decay specifically involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, resulting in the emission of an electron. Alpha decay involves the release of an alpha particle, which does not involve electron emission.
Which is not considered a raditional ray gamma beta alpha or infrared?
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
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 radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
Who coined the terms alpha beta gamma ray?
ernest Rutherford is the answer....
What are the names of the three main types of radiation?
The three main types of radiation are alpha radiation, beta radiation, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, beta radiation consists of beta particles, and gamma radiation consists of gamma rays.

What are the symbols for three radioactive particles and waves?
They are Alkali metals, Alkaline Earth metals, and Carbon 16. ----
What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
Alpha particles have the least penetrating power compared to gamma rays and beta particles. This is because alpha particles are heavier and more positively charged, which makes them easily absorbed by materials, including skin.
Does gamma ray beta or alpha release electrons?
Gamma rays do not release electrons; they are a form of electromagnetic radiation and do not consist of particles like alpha or beta particles. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, while beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons.
