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

What is a charge of beta?

A beta charge refers to the charge carried by a beta particle, which can be either a beta minus (electron) with a charge of -1 or a beta plus (positron) with a charge of +1. Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay process involving the emission of beta particles.


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.


Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?

Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.

Which type of radiation does strontium-90 emit?

Strontium-90 emits beta radiation when it decays. Beta radiation consists of fast-moving electrons.


Radiation consisting of a single electron?

A radiation consisting of a single electron is known as beta radiation. This type of radiation occurs during beta decay when a neutron transforms into a proton, electron, and antineutrino. Beta radiation is commonly emitted by radioactive substances and has the ability to penetrate materials and cause ionization.
