WGU Particles
WGU (tg) Radioactive Particles and Parts of an Atom
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Alpha Particle | Helium (atomic mass = 4 / atomic number = 2) |
| Beta Particle | Electron Produced = neutron changed to proton (e: atomic mass = 0 / atomic number = -1) |
| Gamma Ray | High Energy Photon (release of energy) |
| Positron | Electron Produced = proton changed to neutron (e: atomic mass = 0 / atomic number = 1) |
| Electron Capture | On reactant side, produces Gamma Ray (e: atomic mass = 0 / atomic number = -1) |
| Charge and Mass of Electron | Negative Charge with Mass = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg |
| Charge and Mass of Proton | Positive Charge with Mass = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg |
| Charge and Mass of Neutron | No Charge with Mass = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg |
