The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
Gamma Ray
The emission of beta particle increases the atomic number by one unit because one neutron is converted in to proton and beta particle.
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")]
Gamma
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.

Alpha Particle
Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.
a. an alpha particle
aplha, beta, gamma
Gamma
No. An alpha particle can
neutron. if your talking about radiation, gamma
