Solution

Break Down the Problem

  1. Identify the particle representations given in the options.
  2. Understand which representation corresponds specifically to a beta particle.

Relevant Concepts

  • A beta particle is a type of subatomic particle that is typically represented as an electron or positron.
  • Standard representations of particles:
    • Beta particle (electron): 10e ^0_{-1} e
    • Alpha particle: 24α ^4_2 \alpha or 24He ^4_2 He
    • Gamma ray: γ \gamma

Analysis and Detail

  1. Option A: 10e ^0_{-1} e represents a beta particle (specifically, an electron).
  2. Option B: 24He ^4_2 He represents an alpha particle.
  3. Option C: α \alpha represents an alpha particle, which is not a beta particle.
  4. Option D: γ \gamma represents a gamma ray, not a beta particle.

Verify and Summarize

The correct representation of a beta particle is clearly only found in option A. The other options either represent different particles (alpha ray and gamma ray).

Final Answer

A. 10e ^0_{-1} e represents a beta particle.
