What else can I help you with?
Is a photon an elementary particle?
Yes, a photon is an elementary particle.
What is the correct term of a light particle?
Photon
Electromagnetic waves can behave as particle this particle is called?
Photon.
What is a subatomic particle with two neutrons that is emitted during some types of radioactive decay called?
This would be the alpha particle. An alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons, and it's actually a helium-4 nucleus. That's why we write this particle like this: 42He or He+2 Use the links below for more information.
What particles and charges make up a photon?
The photon IS the particle in this case. It isn't known to be made up of any smaller particles. The electric charge of a photon is zero.
The type of radioactive particle that can be stopped by a sheet of paper is the?
alpha particle
Does photon is a neutral particle?
A photon is an Electrically neutral particle
Is a photon an elementary particle?
Yes, a photon is an elementary particle.
What radioactive emission is a particle?
Alpha emission is a 4helium nucleus, which behaves like a particle. Beta emission is an electron, which behaves like a particle. Gamma emission is a photon, which behaves like a particle. Experiments can also be set up to show their wavelike properties (for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation).
What type of radioactive particle has 2 protons?
An alpha particle has two protons.
What is the correct term of a light particle?
Photon
Does a photon have electrons?
No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
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.
Why do alpha paricles have the most ionizing power?
Alpha particles are positively charged helium atoms or simply the helium nucleus. Everything in nature tries to attain stability. So the alpha particle would try to balance its charge by accepting 2 electrons in its outermost shell. Hence it tries to accept 2 electrons from anything it passes through. Whereas a Beta particle is a type of electron. So it won't try to accept negative charge. So it has lesser ioniztion potential than a Alpha particle. A gamma radiation is a highly charged photon that does not have charge. Thus we can see that it is the alpha particle that has the most ionization potential.
How manyneutrons are in an alpha particle?
There are 2 neutron in an alpha particle.
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
