Alpha rays (α-rays) and beta rays (β-rays) are indeed particles. Alpha rays consist of helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons), while beta rays are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted from radioactive decay. Gamma rays (γ-rays), on the other hand, are not particles but rather electromagnetic radiation, similar to X-rays, and do not have mass or charge.
