When the nucleus of an atom forms, nuclear fusion is the result! It is incredibly hot. In fact, if enough of it is occurring in the same place at the same time, you may just get a star, like our sun.

∙ 11y agoThe atomic shells are negatively charged by the negative electrons. In an electronic confriguation when an electron remains it got released through the shell to form a complete bond between another element which needs an electron to configuer. Thus the complete chemical bond forms between two particles of elements.

Is energy absorbed when an electron moves to a closer shell?
No. Energy is emitted when an electron moves to a closer shell (closer to the nucleus).
A beta particle is a what created and emitted from an unstable nucleus?
NovaNet: A beta particle is simply a high speed electron.
What particle alpha or beta is more massive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta particles are fast moving electrons that are emitted from a nucleus when a neutron decays into a proton and an electron. Since 1 electron has 1/1837 the mass of a proton, the alpha particle is roughly 7348 times the mass of the electron.
What will happen to an atom is an beta particles emits or adds?
The beta particle will alter the electromagnetic field of the atom. An electron will add to the electromagnetic charge if emitted, and subtract from, if it is absorbed. A positron will do the opposite. The atomic nucleus will also change. an electron can convert a neutron to a proton if emitted, and a proton to a neutron if absorbed. The positron, again, will do the opposite.
What is emitted by an atom as a result of electron capture?
After electron capture a neutrino is released.
What can be emmited from radioactive decay?
Many particles can be emitted from radioactive decay. We have Internal Conversion in which a nucleus transfers the energy to an electron which then releases it. There is also Isometric Transition which is basically the gamma ray (photon). There is the decay in which a nucleon is emitted. In this scenario we can have an alpha decay (in which an alpha particle decays), a proton emission, a neutron emission, double proton emission (two protons are emitted), spontaneous fission (the nucleus brakes down into two smaller nuclei and/or other particles) and we have the cluster decay (where the nucleus emits a smaller nucleus). There is the beta decay too. There is the Beta decay (electron and electron antineutrino are emitted), positron emission (a positron and an electron neutrino are emitted), electron capture (an electron is captured by the nucleus and a neutrino is emitted), bound state beta decay (the nucleus decays to an electron and an antineutrino but here the electron is not emitted since it is captured into a K-shell), double beta decay (two electrons and two antineutrinos are emitted), double electron capture (the nucleus absorbs two electrons and emits two neutrinos), electron capture with positron emission (an electron is absorbed and a positron is emitted along with two neutrinos), and double positron emission (in which the nucleus emits two positrons and two neutrons).
What is a negative electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom at high speed?
beta particle
What is an electron or particle similar to an electron emitted from the nucleus with negligible mass and a charge of -1?
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.
Is energy absorbed when an electron moves to a closer shell?
No. Energy is emitted when an electron moves to a closer shell (closer to the nucleus).
Which particle is emitted from a hydrogen-3 nucleus when it undergoes radioactive decay?
beta, aka an electron.
A beta particle is a what created and emitted from an unstable nucleus?
NovaNet: A beta particle is simply a high speed electron.
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
What represents a beta particle?
0/-1 e
Which of the following particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?
A positron.
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
What particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?
Protons are rarely emitted, but a decay mode called positron decay is very common. The positron is the antiparticle of the electron and is exactly the same mass as the electron. It has charge +e.
What is a type of nuclear radiation?
Alpha - Stable Helium Nucleus without any electrons Beta - A negatively charged electron emitted from the nucleus when a neutron turns into a proton Gamma - An high energy, short wavelength Electro Magnetic Wave emitted when an unstable atom has too much energy
