Beta radiation consists of electrons, which would be symbolized as: 00e-, or positrons, which would be symbolized as: 00e+. However, they are conventionally symbolized as β-, or β+, where the symbol "β" is the Greek letter 'beta'. Electron beta radiation occurs for isotopes which are below the line of stability on the chart of the nuclides, while positron beta radiation occurs for isotopes which are above the line of stability.
Note that positrons are the anti-particles of electrons. They are identical in all respects except for having opposite electrical charge.

Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
aplha, beta, gamma
How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
Which has the largest mass alpha particle gamma ray positron or beta particle?
The alpha particle is much more massive than a beta particle. A beta particle is an electron, which has very little mass. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and consists of two protons and two neutrons.
Radium-228 decays by alpha decay Part of the nuclear equation is shown?
224
Which particle is emitted when an atom OF 85Kr spontaneously decays?
a beta particle
What is the symbol of a b particle?
If you think to a beta particle the symbol is β.
What is the symbol of Beta-particle?
β0/-1e
What the symbol of beta particle?
β0/-1e
What is the symbol charge for alpha particle?
e- is the symbol for an electron, aka a beta particle. It has a unit negative charge.
What is the symbol of the beta particle?
a slanted P that looks like a B but is thinner and has a longer "leg"
What is the strength of a beta particle?
The strength of a beta particle is its ability to cross the absorber to reach the detector.Now the strength of a beta particle depends upon the energy of the beta particle and thickness of the absorber.
Positively charged particle that is also beta particle?
A positively charged particle that is also a beta particle is a Positron.
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 is the charge for a beta particle?
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
What are the properties of an Beta particle?
A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
What is beta perticle?
The beta particle is an electron.
When is the decay particle beta?
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
