Question

Which of the following statements regarding beta particles are true? Check all that apply.Beta particles have a nuclear charge of 1.Beta particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron.Beta particles have a mass number of 0.Beta particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton.

Answer 1

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "Beta particles have a nuclear charge of 1." Beta particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton. Beta particleformation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron.

Answer 2

The beta particle has a nuclear charge of 1.

Further Explanation:

Radioactive decay is a reaction by which unstable nucleus of an atom loss energy by emitting radiation and convert into a stable nucleus.

Three types of particle are :

• Alpha particle

• Beta particle

• Gamma particle

Alpha decay is a nuclear process in which alpha particles are emitted. In beta decay, a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus.

Beta-decay is two types:

• β-  decay

• β+ decay

In β- decay, nucleus have a high level of the neutrons which then converted into proton, electron and electron neutrino.

In β+ decay, the nucleus has a high level of protons which then converted into a neutron, positron, and an electron neutrino.

β-particle is a high ionizing particle which is harmful to living tissue.

Application of β-particle are;

• To treat human disease.

• To check quality control of the item.
