Alpha and beta particles of nuclear radiation are similar because they involve what?

Nothing really. Beta particles are electrons or positrons (the antimatter counterpart of electrons), and alpha particles are two protons and two neutrons (a helium nucleus). I guess the only things that they share are speed, and particles in them that have electric charge.

What nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest, because they have no mass.
What are types of nuclear radiation?
The most common are: gamma radiation (high energy photons), beta particles (high energy electrons or positrons) and alpha particles (high energy helium nuclei).
What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?
An alpha particle
What term is defined as the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
Radiation is an emission. For example, gamma radiation from a nuclear decay is an emission of energy, photons.
