11. write the symbol and charge for each particle on your paper.
particle alpha beta plus beta minus gamma
symbol
charge

Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall alpha - particle symbol and charge
An alpha - particle is equivalent to a helium - 4 nucleus. Its symbol is $\alpha$ or $_{2}^{4}	ext{He}$, and it has a charge of $+ 2e$ (where $e$ is the elementary charge).
## Step2: Recall beta - plus symbol and charge
A beta - plus particle is a positron. Its symbol is $\beta^{+}$ or $_{+1}^{0}e$, and it has a charge of $+e$.
## Step3: Recall beta - minus symbol and charge
A beta - minus particle is an electron. Its symbol is $\beta^{-}$ or $_{-1}^{0}e$, and it has a charge of $-e$.
## Step4: Recall gamma - ray symbol and charge
A gamma - ray is a high - energy photon. Its symbol is $\gamma$, and it has a charge of $0$.

# Answer:
| Particle | Symbol | Charge |
|--|--|--|
| Alpha | $\alpha$ or $_{2}^{4}	ext{He}$ | $+2$ |
| Beta Plus | $\beta^{+}$ or $_{+1}^{0}e$ | $+1$ |
| Beta Minus | $\beta^{-}$ or $_{-1}^{0}e$ | $-1$ |
| Gamma | $\gamma$ | $0$ |
