No. Alpha particles are made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so they are relatively large. They also have a large ionising effect, which means can damage cells making it cancerous. However, since it is so large, it can be stopped by such thin surfaces as skin or paper, so is only dangerous when injected or swallowed.

Symbol and charge of alpha particle?
The charge of an alpha particle is 2+ and the symbol is α2+.
What is the symbol charge for alpha particle?
e- is the symbol for an electron, aka a beta particle. It has a unit negative charge.
Which subatomic particles has a charge?
This particle is the electron with the electrical charge -1.
How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]
What is the charge of a neutral particle?
neutral because it doenst has a charge
Why is the neutral particle in the atom a neutron?
because it has no charge
Which subatomic particle will be attracted by a positive charge object?
Electrons because of their opposite charge.
What is the charge of the particle?
A proton (H+) is the smallest particle with a positive charge.
What particle did Chadwick discover in that was hard to detect because it had no electrical charge?
the paticle that was hard to detect was neutrons because it had no electrical charge.
What particle did Chadwick discover in 1932 that was to detect because it had no electrical charge?
the paticle that was hard to detect was neutrons because it had no electrical charge.

Which subatomic particle has the weakest charge?
I would say a neutrino, because its charge is zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neutrino is not considered as a subatomic particle. Proton (positively charged) and electron (negatively charged) have very small electrical charge.
What particle has no charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nuclear particle that has no charge is the neutron.
What is the positively charge of particle?
A proton (H+) is the smallest particle with a positive charge.
Is a particle with no charge?
A Neutron is a particle that holds no charge. A Proton holds a positive charge, and an electron holds a negative charge.
Which subatomic particle has a charge of 1?
Electrons have a charge of -1, protons have a charge of +1.
