A beta particle is an electron and it has a -1 charge and zero mass.
Beta decay by
emitting an electron is called as β⁻
decay. When this happens, a neutron of the element converts into a proton by
emitting an electron. Hence, the mass of daughter nucleus is same as parent
atom but atomic number/number of protons is higher by 1 than atomic number of
parent atom.
In a β⁻ decay, the symbol is used as ₋₁⁰β or ₋₁⁰e.
-1 is for charge
<span> 0 is for the mass of the particle

Answer:
The correct answer is B) it helps to ensure the result are consistent and repeatable.
Explanation:
Scientist generally repeat an experiment if he or she did not make a mistake in the first one to compare the results of two experiment, if there is no difference in the result or values obtainted from the observation of two experiment. he or she become sure that experiment was done in a right way because if there is some error made when experiment was carried out then the result of two same experiment would be different.
Answer:
A. In a graduated cylinder, put some quantity of water and measure the initial volume. Then put a coin and measure the volume. To find the volume of the coin, simply subtract the initial volume (water only) from the ending volume (water + coin). To measure the mass, take a dry coin and place it on an electronic scale. Density = mass / volume, so divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the coin.
B. When measuring the volume, make sure to look at the graduated cylinder at eye level and read from the bottom of the meniscus.
