What else can I help you with?
Does an alpha particle have a relative mass of 1 amu and no charge?
No, an alpha particle has a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2. It is a helium nucleus. The neutron has a mass of 1 amu and no charge.
What are the particles emitted during radioactive decay with their mass and charge?
alpha: mass 4, charge +2beta: mass ~1/1800, charge -1gamma: mass 0, charge 0
Alpha or beta types of radiation is composed of particles with a charge and mass identical to that of an electron?
Alpha radiation consists of particles with a charge of +2 and a mass of 4 amu, equivalent to a helium nucleus. Beta radiation consists of particles with a charge of either -1 or +1 and negligible mass, corresponding to electrons or positrons.
How many particles do alpha particles contain?
Beta particles have an electrical charge of -1. Beta particles have a mass of 549 millionths of one atomic mass unit, or AMU, which is about 1/2000 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
Which naturally occurring radioactive particle is the largest?
Alpha particles are the same size as a helium nucleus and are made up of 2 protons and two neutrons. They have no electrons so an alpha particle has a +2 charge
What particles has a mass of 4 amu and a charge of 2 plus?
An alpha particle, boom.
Does an alpha particle have a relative mass of 1 amu and no charge?
No, an alpha particle has a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2. It is a helium nucleus. The neutron has a mass of 1 amu and no charge.

What is the unit for the mass of atomic particles?
Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
What is the mass number of copper?
AMU (Atomic Mass Unit) is the SI masses of particles for nucleus.
What is the mass of the 3 subatomic particles?
Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu.
How many particles do alpha particles contain?
Beta particles have an electrical charge of -1. Beta particles have a mass of 549 millionths of one atomic mass unit, or AMU, which is about 1/2000 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
What sub-atomic particles have a mass of 1 amu?
neutrons and protonsbut NOT electrons (the almost have no mass)
Which of the atomic particles have a mass of one atomic mass unit?
Both the proton and the neutron have a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit (amu). The proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and the neutron has a mass of 1.00867 amu.
What does a.m.u stand for?
Atomic mass unit. Unit for mass for atoms & their sub-atomic particles. An electron is rounded to 0 amu (since its mass is less than 1 amu). A proton and a neutron are 1 amu each.
What particles consists of two protons and two neutrons?
A alpha particle that consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles have a high-energy electron that comes from the nucleus, not from the electron cloud.
