Ne is the atomic symbol for Neon. Neon has an atomic number of 10 - which also tells you that it has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with the isotope. The most common isotopes are
20Ne
,21Ne
, and22Ne
- in other words, Neon with 20-10 = 10 neutrons, 21-10 = 11 neutrons, and 22 - 10 = 12 neutrons. By far the most common isotope is20Ne which represents about 90.5% of all the Neon isotopes.

How many electrons does beta particle have?
A beta particle is typically an electron that is emitted during beta decay. This electron has a charge of -1 and a mass of approximately 1/1836 amu.
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?
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
Why the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element are different?
The speed of beta rays emitted by the same element can vary because the energy of the emitted beta particles is not constant. The speed of beta particles depends on the energy released during the decay process and may be influenced by factors such as the type of decay (beta-minus or beta-plus) and the initial energy state of the nucleus.
What are negatively charged particles emmited from a nucleus at a high speed called?
it is electrons
