What type of charge does beta radiation have?

Beta radiation can have a negative charge (β-) or a positive charge (β+). Negative beta particles are electrons, while positive beta particles are positrons.


Is it true that beta particles have a charge of2 plus?

No. Beta- particles, electrons, have a charge of -1, and beta+ particles, positrons, have a charge of +1.The alpha particle has a charge of +2.


What correctly describes the charge of beta particles and alpha particles?

Beta particles have a negative charge, while alpha particles have a positive charge. Beta particles are electrons or positrons, while alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons.


What is the charge associated with beta decay?

The charge associated with beta decay is either a positive or negative charge, depending on whether a beta particle is emitted (negative charge) or a positron is emitted (positive charge).


What are Beta particles have a charge?

Beta particles can have a positive or negative charge. In beta-minus decay, a neutron turns into a proton, emitting a beta-minus particle (electron) with a negative charge. In beta-plus decay, a proton transforms into a neutron, releasing a beta-plus particle (positron) with a positive charge.


What is the charge of beta particles?

Beta Particles have a negative charge,In Beta decay a neutron changes into a proton and a beta particle, an electron.


What is the charge of a beta particle?

A beta particle has a charge of -1, which means it is negatively charged.


What charge does a beta particle contain?

neutral charge. this is because a beta decay gains a proton and loses a neutron.


What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?

Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)


What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?

The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.


Why beta rays get negative?

Beta rays do not have a negative charge. Beta particles (electrons or positrons) emitted during beta decay can have a negative or positive charge, depending on whether it is an electron or a positron. The negative charge is carried by the electron beta particle.


Does a beta particle have an identical charge to an electron?

Yes, a beta particle is either an electron or a positron. In beta decay, an electron is emitted (beta-minus decay), which has a negative charge, while a positron is emitted in beta-plus decay, which has a positive charge.
