Does the Electron count change with the release of an alpha particle?

The number of electrons is changed.


What will an alpha particle change into when it absorbs two electrons?

When an alpha particle absorbs two electrons, it will become a helium atom. This is because an alpha particle is essentially a helium nucleus consisting of two protons and two neutrons, and by also gaining two electrons, it will form a stable helium atom with two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons.


What is the particle charge of an electron?

The chaarge of an alpha particle is +2.


What will happen if an electron is brought near an alpha particle?

The alpha particle will grab the electron, making it a part of its electron cloud.? As a result, the helium atom (which is what an alpha particle is) transitions from a +2 charge to a +1 charge.?A second electron will bring the helium atom to neutral, non-ionic, charge.


Is an alpha a particle or a wave?

Beta is a particle. In beta- it is an electron and an electron antineutrino. In beta+ it is a positron and an electron neutrino.


What particle alpha or beta is more massive?

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta particles are fast moving electrons that are emitted from a nucleus when a neutron decays into a proton and an electron. Since 1 electron has 1/1837 the mass of a proton, the alpha particle is roughly 7348 times the mass of the electron.


Is an alpha particle lighter than an electron?

No, an alpha particle is not identical to an electron. An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and it's composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons fused together. It several thousand times the mass of an electron, and has twice its charge with an opposite sign (+2). An electron is that little negatively charged (-1) elementary particle that we find whizzing around atoms. You'll find a pair of related questions linked below.

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.
