As long as the spaces between the particles are connected, the smaller the particles, the higher the capillarity. The larger the particles, the lower the capillarity.

Particle size and capillarity are inversely, or negatively related.

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.

What is the effect of particle size on angle of repose?

As Particle size increases the angle is repose decrease. Reason being, smaller particles have dominant cohesive and adhesive forces as compared to particle weight whereas in bigger particles gravity plays a dominant role so less repose angle.
