What is lost from the nucleus of atom when it emits an alpha particle?
2 neutrons and 2 protons (this is what an alpha particle is made up of).
Why is an alpha particle sometimes referred to as a helium nucleus?
An alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons; this is what a helium nucleus is made up of as well.
Is an alpha particle and a proton released from the centre of the cycltron and made to accelerated at the same cyclotron frequency?
the alpha particle will accelerate slower and follow a tighter/smaller spiral outward than the proton.
What alpha radiation is made up of?
A particle of alpha radiation is made up of two protons and two neutrons resembling a Helium-4 nucleus.
Which type of nuclear substance is a helium nucleus?
The alpha particle has a composition identical to a helium nucleus, specifically, the nucleus of helium-4. The alpha particle, however, is a product of radioactive decay, and is usually moving pretty fast. When we speak of helium nuclei, we are usually speaking of things that are much less energetic.
What is a alpha particle made of?
+ve charges
What is lost from the nucleus of atom when it emits an alpha particle?
2 neutrons and 2 protons (this is what an alpha particle is made up of).
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
How massive is a alpha particle?

What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two protons and two neutron?
This is a alpha particle.
What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two neutrons and two protons?
Used by Rutherford in his experiment made of two protons and two neutrons are alpha particles. Rutherford discovered the nucleus using his gold foil experiment.
