Do alpha particles contain helium?

No, they're just similar to a helium nucleus.


Which of particles is similar to a He nucleus alpha beta gamma neutrino?

The particle that is similar to a helium nucleus is the alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, which is exactly the composition of a helium-4 nucleus. In contrast, beta and gamma particles are different types of radiation, while neutrinos are nearly massless particles that interact very weakly with matter.


What particles in the nucleus are neutral?

What do neutrons and protons have in common?

Neutrons and protons are both subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They have similar masses and are both composed of smaller particles called quarks.


What are three the types of neutrons?

There is only one type of known neutron. Neutrons are uncharged particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a mass similar to that of a proton and can exist outside of the nucleus.


What particles in the nucleus of the atom?

The particles in the nucleus of an atom are the protonsand the neutrons. We call particles that make up the atomic nucleus nucleons, and this word is just a way to say "the particles that make up an atom's nucleus" in an abbreviated manner.


What are particles in the nucleus called?

The two types of particles in the nucleus are called protons and neutrons.


What keeps particles in nucleus together?

Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.


Alpha and beta particles of nuclear radiation are similar because they involve what?

Nothing really. Beta particles are electrons or positrons (the antimatter counterpart of electrons), and alpha particles are two protons and two neutrons (a helium nucleus). I guess the only things that they share are speed, and particles in them that have electric charge.


What particles are not in the nucleus?

Electrons are not part of the nucleus.


Which particles are located in a nucleus?

Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.
