I suspect you mean alpha ray as in alpha radiation. In which case an alpha ray consists of helium nuclei. The most common source of such rays is radioactive decay.

What do we use Alpha ray for?
For transmutation of atoms by bombarding with alpha
Are alpha rays neutrons?
Alpha particles are helium nuclei -- each particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons. A stream of alpha particles may be called a ray, although as it is not electromagnetic radiation that is probably inaccurate.
What radioactive emission has the greatest penetrating power?

What are 5 different types of radiation and which are the most dangerous?
Alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, neutron.
What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
The gamma ray because a photon does not have electric charge and is thus does not experience force in a EM field. All the others are charged particles

What is the process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus?
The process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus is called alpha decay of the original nucleus.
