What else can I help you with?
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-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
Is alpha particles heavier than beta particles?
Yes. A beta particle is just an electron, while an alpha particle is effectively a helium nucleus - two protons plus two neutrons. Protons (and neutrons) are each about 2000 times heavier than an electron. Therefore, an alpha particle is about 8000 times heavier than a beta particle.
What is the particle that is same as helium nucleus out of alpha and beta and gamma?
The particle that is the same as a helium nucleus is an alpha particle. It consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together. Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons, while gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.
What are the properties of an Beta particle?
A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
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.
An electron is to a beta particle as helium is to a?
An electron is to a beta particle as helium is to an alpha particle. Both beta particles and alpha particles are types of radioactive decay products, with beta particles being high-energy electrons and alpha particles being helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons.

A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
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.
How different alpha and beta radiation from gamma rays?
I'm not sure there are quantifiers for "difference", but "completely" comes close. Alpha and beta radiation is (massive) particle based, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation ... technically this is a particle (photons), but photons have zero invariant mass. Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus on the run. Beta radiation is an electron on the run. Gamma radiation is a very high energy "light" ray (electromagnetic radiation).
Is beta the same kind of radiation as alpha but does not have particles?
No Alpha radiation is essentially a helium nucleus - a couple of protons and neutrons bound together as a particle Beta radiation is an electron or positron - still a particle but not the same kind of particle as alpha.
Mass of alpha beta gamma?
The alpha, beta, and gamma particles have different masses. An alpha particle has a mass of about 4 atomic mass units (u), which is roughly 6.64 x 10^-27 kg. A beta particle (electron or positron) has a much smaller mass, about 0.0005 u or 9.31 x 10^-31 kg. A gamma particle, which is a high-energy photon, has zero rest mass because it is pure energy.
The particle that is identical to a high energy electron is known as a?
perhaps:another high energy electrona beta particle
A particle accelerator can increase the kinetic energy of?
Particle accelerators are used to initiate collisions which have enough energy to overcome nuclear forces. They can be used to understand the workings of a star or to build entirely new [short lived] elements. The answer is D. All of the above.
