Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What type of radiation releases two protons and two neutrons from the parent nucleus?
That's a description of an alpha particle. That "bundle" of two protons and two neutrons is actually a helium-4 nucleus. Use the link below to learn more.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
