Explicación
## Step 1The problem asks us to identify which type of particle among the given options has a negative charge. The options are beta, alpha, gamma, and x-rays.## Step 2Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons that are emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei. They can be either negatively or positively charged, depending on whether they are electrons or positrons.## Step 3Alpha particles are positively charged particles consisting of two protons and two neutrons. They are essentially helium-4 nuclei.## Step 4Gamma rays are not particles but rather a type of electromagnetic radiation. They are neutral and do not carry any charge.## Step 5X-rays are also a type of electromagnetic radiation and are neutral, similar to gamma rays.## Step 6Among these options, beta particles are the only ones that can have a negative charge, specifically when they are electrons.
