Give the symbol for (c) a positron.

Video transcript

Welcome back everyone in this example is the following statement true or false. The statement reads the symbol for a positron is beta with a negative charge. So what we want to think of is what a positron is. And we want to recall that a positron has no atomic mass and is represented by an electron. A positron is also known as a will say a K a a anti electron particle. And that's because it's going to appear as a positively charged electron. Where we have our symbol for an electron E with the atomic number being plus one and the mass number being zero. And we should recall that. This is one way to express the positron symbol. We can also express a positron symbol as a beta symbol with a plus charge here. So these are are symbols of our positron and now that we've outlined that based on what were given in the prompt, which is a beta symbol with a negative charge. We would confirm that. To complete this example. The statement given is a false statement as our final answer. So I hope everything I reviewed was clear. If you have any questions, leave them down below and I will see everyone in the next practice video
