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.
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.
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.
An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
Helium-4 cannot emit an alpha particle, as an alpha particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons. Helium-4 already has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, so it cannot emit an alpha particle.
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.
An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of Helium atom
Helium nuclei.
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.
No, it is identical to that of a helium atom.
No, it is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.
Alpha Particle consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus.
An alpha particle, one of the possible emissions in radioactive decay.
An alpha particle is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons if that's what you mean
process by which a target nucleus can be split into two smaller nuclei upon bombardment
The nucleus of a helium-4 atom is an alpha particle. When an alpha particle, which is two protons and two neutrons, is released in nuclear decay (alpha decay), it will zip out with a lot of kinetic energy. But it will quickly slow down and pick up a pair of electrons from the environment and "become" a 24He atom.
That is alpha decay. The particle is identical to a helium nucleus.
