Yes. Alpha rays are streams of alpha particles (helium nuclei), each of which carries 2 times the charge of a proton.
In S.I. units the alpha particle's charge is +3.2 x 10-19 Coulombs, to two significant figures.

What are alpha rays attracted to?
Magnetic fieldsNegatively charged objects
What is similar to a He nucleus?
Alpha rays are He nucleii.They are positively charged.
What are positively charged radioactive rays called?
alpha particles
How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?
Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
Which is not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum - UV rays or Alpha rays or Visible light or Infrared rays?
Alpha rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha particles are the same as helium nuclei, and are given off in nuclear decay.
Why are cathode rays deflected away from a negatively charged plate?
Alpha Rays are attracted to a negatively charged plate because they consist of positively charged particles.
Why are alpha and beta rays bent in different directions?
Alpha and beta rays are bent in different directions because alpha is positively charged, beta is negative.

Of the three types of radioactivity characterized by Rutherford, which is\are electrically chargedA)B-rays B)a-rays and B-rays?
A)B-rays are the only type of radioactivity that is electrically charged. Alpha (a-rays) and gamma (y-rays) rays are both uncharged, or neutral, particles. B-rays, or beta particles, are high-energy electrons that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom and are the only type of radioactivity that is electrically charged.
What are the particles called from a nuclear decay?
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Does alpha rays contains only a positive charge of atom?
Alpha rays are helium ions, He2+.

Alpha rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha particles are the same as helium nuclei, and are given off in nuclear decay.
What are the differences between X-rays and alpha rays?
X-rays are a form of electro-magnetic radiation. Alpha "rays" consist of helium nuclei expelled from large nuclei during a process called (no surprise) alpha decay.
Are thegamma and alfa rays electromagnetic radiation?
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
