Question

question 23 of 25 which symbol represents a type of radiation that has the same mass as an electron and a positive charge? a. $_2^4he$ b. $_{ - 1}^0e$ c. $_{ + 1}^0e$ d. $_0^0gamma$

Explanation:

A positron has the same mass as an electron and a positive charge. The symbol for a positron is $_{ + 1}^{0}e$. Option A represents an alpha - particle ($_{2}^{4}He$), option B represents an electron ($_{ - 1}^{0}e$), and option D represents a gamma - ray ($_{0}^{0}\gamma$) which has no mass and no charge.

Answer:

C. $_{ + 1}^{0}e$
