Beta particlesâ A beta particle is emitted during the radioactive decay of some unstable atoms. Beta particles can have either a negative charge or a positive charge and they have the same very small mass (1/2000 the mass of a neutron) regardless of charge.
More specifically, the atom will have a positive net charge if it has more protons in its nucleus than electrons surrounding its nucleus a negative net charge if it has more electrons surrounding its nucleus than protons in its nucleus no net charge if it has equal numbers of protons and electrons When an atom carries a positive net charge, it forms a cation, or positively charged ion. Likewise, when an atom carries a negative net charge, it forms an anion, or negatively charged ion. In your case, the atom is said to contain. eight protons. nine neutrons â they do not influence the net charge of the atom.
