What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?

beta
What is the charge on a beta ray?
The sign of the charge depends if it's a beta-minus particle (an electron) or a beta-plus particle (a positron, or anti-electron). The former is negative, but the latter is positive. Generally, when we say "beta particle," we mean "beta-minus particle," but this is not always the case! For an element that decays via beta, check the locations on the periodic table (or better yet, the table of nuclides!) of the parent and daughter atoms. If the atomic number of a nucleus increased by one when undergoing beta decay (it now has an extra proton), it underwent beta-minus decay. If the atomic number decreased by one, it underwent beta-plus decay. Important note: we have just discussed the sign of the beta particle's charge, not the charge itself. The charge, in SI units, is 1.6022 x 10^-19 Coulombs. This quantity is, again, negative or positive depending on whether the particle in question is a beta-minus or beta-plus.
Which type of particle has charge of -1 and a mass of 0?
Neutrons are particles of no charge. Electrons have negative charge.
Is total electrical charge conserved in negative beta decay?
no beacause it is negative
What correctly describes the charge of beta particles and alpha particles?
Beta particles, from beta- decay, have a charge of -1. Beta particles, from beta+ decay, have a charge of +1. Alpha particles have a charge of +2.
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 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 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.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
Why do alpha beta and gramma have different penetrating abilities?
What i think is due to the charger beta have negative charge and gamma has no charge free of charge
Does a beta particle have a -2 charge?
no its charge is -1
Are alpha particles or beta particles more highly charged?
An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges). A beta particle has a charge of -1 (electron) or +1 (positron).
How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]
What type of radiation emitted by radioactive nuclei is negatively charged?
A Beta- particle is an electron, which has negative charge.Here are some other types: Alpha is a helium nucleus, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons (having positive charge). Positron is the antiparticle to electron. Positrons have positive charge. Gamma does not have charge. Neutrons do not have charge. Neutrinos do not have charge.
What is the charge for a beta particle?
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
Which radioactive emanations have a charge of -1?
beta
