An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has two protons and two neutrons, and we write it like this: 24He++ or more commonly 24He2+ Some links can be found below.

Which has the largest mass alpha particle gamma ray positron or beta particle?
The alpha particle is much more massive than a beta particle. A beta particle is an electron, which has very little mass. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and consists of two protons and two neutrons.
How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
Particle with two protons and two neutrons ejected during decay?
An alpha particle. It is also a helium nucleus and has a charge of +2e. The ejection of an alpha particle occurs whenever the electromagnetic force overcomes the strong force in a nucleus and needs to rid itself of excess charge. The reason that a single proton is not simply ejected has to do with the stability of the alpha particle itself which is generated by the strong force. If there were more protons in an alpha particle, it would not hold together properly. It cannot have more neutrons because it simply wouldn't be ejected because of strong force.
The number of protons plus neutrons in an alpha particle?
2 protons and 2 neutrons. An alpha particle is the same as a helium nucleus.
What represents a alpha particle?
An alpha particle is sometimes symbolized by the Greek lower case letter alpha (α). Also, because an alpha particle, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, is the nucleus of a helium-4 atom, you may see He2+ or 42He2+ used to write (symbolize) an alpha particle. This is particularly true in nuclear equations that are balanced in a manner similar to a chemical equation. Links can be found below.
