Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen 17?
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?
Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.
Why alpha particle exhibit definite range in matter?
because alpha particles are charged.
Where could one locate Alpha particles?
Alpha particles are most commonly found when alpha decay occurs. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay. Further information about alpha particles can be found on the Wikipedia website.

Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen 17?
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
What will happen inside the nucleus if there alpha particle radiation?
Two neutrons and two protons will split off from the main nucleus as the alpha particle, leaving a different element.
Which atom could not emit an alpha particle?
Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (the nucleus of a helium atom). Therefore, Hydrogen is the only element that doesn't contain (and can't emit) an alpha particle.
What happens to the atomic number of an element if it emits 1 alpha particle and 1 beta particles?
It drops 2
Which atom could not possibly emit an alpha particle?
Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (the nucleus of a helium atom). Therefore, Hydrogen is the only element that doesn't contain (and can't emit) an alpha particle.
Alpha particles and beta particles differ in?
Alpha particles are positively charged helium nuclei while beta particle are negatively charged electrons . Alpha particle have 4u mass while beta particles have zero mass.
What happend to the atomic number of an element which emits alpha particle and two beta particle?
THe atomic number would decrease by 2 as alpha particle comes out. But for two beta particles the atomic number would increase by 2. So the atomic number remains unchanged due to emission of one alpha followed by 2 beta particles.
Does alpha particles have less mass the beta particles?
An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons (same as a Helium nucleus) so when a nucleus ejects an alpha it will defintely have less mass. Also it will be a new element because it has two less protons.
What is the alpha particles?
The symbol of the alpha particle is the small Greek letter alpha, α
Which naturally occurring radioactive particle is the largest?
Alpha particles are the same size as a helium nucleus and are made up of 2 protons and two neutrons. They have no electrons so an alpha particle has a +2 charge
What gives off alpha particles?
Alpha particles are a type of particle of radiation that is emmited by certain radioactive materials. The materials that give off Alpha particles are called ''Alpha emitters.''
