Ion definition | An atom or molecule that has an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons |
Specific charge | Q / M
Charge / Mass |
Leptons are | Electron and neutrinos and muons
positron and antineutrinos and antimuons |
Mesons are | Pion and kaon
antipion and anti kaon
Made up of a quark and antiquark |
Baryons are | Protons and neutrons
Antiprotons and antineutrons
Made up of three quarks |
How are neutrinos and electrons similar and different | Both don’t interact with strong force and both interact with weak force in the same way
Opposite charges |
What happens in beta minus decay | An electron and an anti electron neutrino are emitted and a neutron turns into a proton |
What happens in beta plus | A neutrino and a positron are emitted and a proton turns into a neutron |
What happens in alpha decay | An alpha particle is emitted which is two protons and two neutrons |
Isotope defintion | more or less neutrons but same protons so same element |
Ion definition | An atom or molecule that has an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons |
Hadrons are | protons and neutrons |
