An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and contains two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, the original nucleus will have two protons and two neutrons less. Its atomic number will be two less, and its Atomic Mass will be 4 less.

Nucleus of the chemical element atomic number 2 emitted by some radioactive substances?
alpha particle, He nucleus
How can element 92 become element 93?
It happens when a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of the atom of element 92. Beta Particle is emitted when a neutron is converted to a proton.So atomic number that is , the no of protons increases by 1. Hence 92 becomes 93.
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.
When U-238 decays to th-234 what has been emitted?
When U-238 decays to Th-234, an alpha particle is emitted. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, and is essentially a helium nucleus.
What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.

What type of particle is emitted when a U-235 decays to Np-235?
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
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.
What is the process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus?
The process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus is called alpha decay of the original nucleus.
What is a negative electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom at high speed?
beta particle
The nucleus of a helium atom is called?
The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
An alpha particle has the same structure as which nucleus?
The radioactive alpha particle has the same structure as the atomic nucleus of helium. They are usually formed and emitted during alpha decay.
What is a helium nucleus emitted from the nucleus of a decaying isotope and represented by He with a 2 plus charge?
It is called an alpha particle.
When U-238 decays to th-234 what has been emitted?
When U-238 decays to Th-234, an alpha particle is emitted. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, and is essentially a helium nucleus.
What is an electron or particle similar to an electron emitted from the nucleus with negligible mass and a charge of -1?
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.
A beta particle may be spontaneously emitted from?
Positrons are emitted from proton-rich radioactive during positive beta-decay.
