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.
What is the charge of an electron and were is it located in an atom?
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
What force must be overcome to remove an electron?
The force that must be overcome to remove an electron from an atom is the electrostatic attraction between the electron and the positively charged nucleus. This force is governed by Coulomb's law and is known as the ionization energy. The amount of energy required to remove an electron depends on the specific atom and its electron configuration.
Why does the electron of an atom not attracted by its own nucleus?
It is attracted by its own nucleus. It is the vector energy, mcv, that prevents it from falling into the nucleus. The vector energy creates an centrifugal forces that balances the nucleus centripetal forces : e^2zc/2r^2 = mcv/r cos(RV) provides the balance and the redshift and the redshift for electrons cos(RV) = alpha/n. The cos(RV) is the tangent angle needed to balance the attraction of the nucleus.
What carries a negative charge and circulates around the nucleus?
Negatively charged particles in an atom that move around the nucleus are called electrons.
What energy relations exists within the atom as electrons revolve about the positive nucleus?
there is a force of attraction between the positive nucleus and each negative electrons, and this force is counterbalanced by one that is determined by the orbital motion of the electron.
What is the charge of an electron and how does it affect its behavior in an atom?
The charge of an electron is negative. This negative charge causes electrons to be attracted to the positively charged nucleus of an atom. Electrons move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells, and their negative charge helps hold the atom together by balancing the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus.
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.
Is electron is a positive?
yes it is
Why does an electron have to live in an orbital?
A fundamental law of electrostatics is that opposite charges attract. Electrons carry a negative charge, and protons carry a positive one. The positive charge on the nucleus "captures" the electron and they take up station in an orbital. The electron has too much energy to give it up and collapse into the nucleus, so it hangs out in the electron cloud with other electrons.
What is the charge of an electron and were is it located in an atom?
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
What kind of energy stored in the nucleus of an atom?
nuclear energythe energy is mostly electric and can be charged with the loss or gain of an electron to make it negative or positive. All atoms begin electrically neutral.
What kind of energy in stored in the nucleus of an atom?
nuclear energythe energy is mostly electric and can be charged with the loss or gain of an electron to make it negative or positive. All atoms begin electrically neutral.
What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
What force must be overcome to remove an electron?

This force is governed by Coulomb's law and is known as the ionization energy. The amount of energy required to remove an electron depends on the specific atom and its electron configuration.
What is the force thea holds an electron to an atom?
The electromagnetic force (protons are positive and electrons are negative, so they attract), which is manifested into Coulomb's force of attraction. The reason that electrons will not fall into the nucleus is due to the electron's energy; it is moving fast enough to not collide with the nucleus.
Where is a electron located?
They are located in the electron cloud of an atom. ---------- Electrons (very low mass particles with negative electrical charge) are placed around the nucleus of an atom in electron shells, with different energy levels; because the nucleus contain protons the electrical charge is positive. The electron cloud is a model of quantum mechanics.
