No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.

A negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay?

The negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay is called a beta particle. It is essentially an electron that is released from the nucleus of the atom undergoing decay in order to conserve charge. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, releasing a beta particle and an antineutrino.

One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino

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 atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?

A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.


What particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?

A positron is a particle with the same mass as an electron but a positive charge. It is the antimatter counterpart of an electron and can be emitted from the nucleus during some types of radioactive decay processes, such as beta plus decay.


Which of the following particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?

The particle that has the same mass as an electron (9.11 x 10^-31 kg) but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay is a positron. A positron is the antimatter counterpart to an electron and has a charge of +1.


A beta particle is actually?

A beta particle is an electron or positron emitted during radioactive decay. It has a charge of -1 for electrons and +1 for positrons, and is lighter than an alpha particle. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino.


What is the composition of a beta particle?

A beta particle is either an electron or a positron (antielectron) emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay. It has a mass of approximately 1/1836 atomic mass unit and carries a single unit of negative (for electrons) or positive (for positrons) charge.


What is a beta partical?

A Beta Particle is a high energy electron that comes from the nucleus, not from the electron cloud. However, the nucleus contains only protons and neutrons. During this kind of transmutation, a neutron becomes unstable and splits into an electron and a proton. The electron, or beta particle, is released with a large amount of energy. The proton however, remains in the nucleus.P.S. I got this information out of my Science text book. (:


What is another name for beta particle?

Another name for a beta particle is an electron. It is a high-energy, high-speed particle that is emitted during the radioactive decay of certain elements.
