The song was nominated for both the 1996 Academy Award for Best Original Song and the 1996 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song but lost both to another Disney song, Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas. Like many other Disney theme songs, You've Got a Friend in Me has been covered numerous times.
beta particle. A high-speed electron emitted by an atomic nucleus undergoing radioactive decay. A beta particle is created when a neutron becomes a proton. Beta particles have greater speed and penetrating power than alpha particles. â¦ The process by which a neutron becomes a proton and emits an electron is called beta decay.
The Beta Particle. Beta decay is a radioactive process in which an electron is emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom, along with an unusual particle called an antineutrino.The neutrino is an almost massless particle that carries away some of the energy from the decay process.ecause this electron is from the nucleus of the atom, it is called a beta particle to distinguish it from the electrons which orbit the atom. Like alpha decay, beta decay occurs in isotopes which are neutron rich (i.e. have a lot more neutrons in their nucleus than they do protons).
