the answer is a positively charged nucleus with two protons and two neutrons
An alpha particle. It is also a helium nucleus and has a charge of +2e. The ejection of an alpha particle occurs whenever the electromagnetic force overcomes the strong force in a nucleus and needs to rid itself of excess charge. The reason that a single proton is not simply ejected has to do with the stability of the alpha particle itself which is generated by the strong force. If there were more protons in an alpha particle, it would not hold together properly. It cannot have more neutrons because it simply wouldn't be ejected because of strong force.
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
The alpha particle is much more massive than a beta particle. A beta particle is an electron, which has very little mass. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and consists of two protons and two neutrons.
An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
Helium-4 cannot emit an alpha particle, as an alpha particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons. Helium-4 already has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, so it cannot emit an alpha particle.
There are 2 neutron in an alpha particle.
A stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. Alpha particles are emitted during alpha decay in radioactive processes. They have a positive charge and are relatively heavy compared to other types of particles.

Alpha Particle
Yes, the alpha particle is nonfundamental.
The electric charge of an alpha particle is positive. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus (which being a nucleus has a positive charge)
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of Helium atom
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
A nucleon is the amount of protons and neutrons. An alpha particle has an atomic number of 2 and a atomic mass of 4 then it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.There are 4 nucleons in an alpha particle.
a. an alpha particle
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has a mass of about 4 atomic mass units.
