A beta particle differs from an alpha particle in that it?
A beta particle is an electron or a positron, with a charge of -1 or +1, and a mass of about 1/1836 of a proton. An alpha particle, on the other hand is a helium nucleus, with a charge of +2, and a mass of two protons and two neutrons. The beta particle has more penetration ability than the alpha particle, but the alpha particle is more biologically dangerous when in close proximity to sensitive tissue, such as when inhaled into the lungs.
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What is the product of radioactive decay 42 He called?
An alpha particle
What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle and What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle?
When a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle, it decreases by two protons and two neutrons. This results in a new nucleus with a lower atomic number by 2 and lower mass number by 4. The emitted alpha particle is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) and carries a positive charge.
What radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
Radioactive particle with the deepest penetration depth?
neutrino, it barely notices matter. However it is not electromagnetic, it is a product of the weak force.
What has the author N K Anand written?
N. K. Anand has written: 'DEPOSITION, software to calculate particle penetration through aerosol transport lines' -- subject(s): Aerosols, Radioactive, Computer programs, Measurement, Radioactive Aerosols, Radioactivity
What radioactive particle is the size of a helium nucleus?
alpha particle
The type of radioactive particle that can be stopped by a sheet of paper is the?
alpha particle
What type of radioactive particle has 2 protons?
An alpha particle has two protons.
How do you find the best metal detector?
Look for the metal detector with the most discoveries and deepest penetration.

What are three types of radioactive particles?
alpha particle beta particle gamma rays
What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two protons and two neutron?
This is a alpha particle.
Is an alpha particle radioactive?
An alpha particle itself is not radioactive, but it is the result of a type of radioactive decay called (obviously) alpha decay. The alpha particle is actually a helium-4 nucleus, and it will eventually pick up a pair of electrons and become an atom of that inert or noble gas.
What part of the chemical name thorium nitrate is particle emitting radioactive?
Thorium is a radioactive metal.
What is the product of radioactive decay HE called?
An alpha particle
