Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]
Alpha radiation from americium-241 is used in smoke detectors because it ionizes the air particles, causing a small electric current to flow and trigger the alarm. Gamma radiation from americium-241 can be used in radiography to detect flaws in materials or for sterilization purposes.
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.
Alpha particle is the nucleus of helium atom. That is doubly ionized one. Hence alpha particle is massive and so its velocity is comparatively low. As it is massive it has good ionization power but penetration would become difficult. Isn't? Because it is helium nucleus, it has two positive charges. So can be deflected by electric and magnetic field. But gamma radiation is photons whose rest mass is zero. It is charge less. So cannot be deflected by electric and magnetic field. Its velocity is the highest in the universe ie the velocity of light. It has good penetrating power but least ionizing power.

Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.
Alpha Gamma was created in 1867.
it has no charges
Gamma Alpha's motto is 'Γνωθι την 'Αληθειαν'.
Alpha Beta Gamma was created in 1970.
Alpha particles have the least penetrating power compared to gamma rays and beta particles. This is because alpha particles are heavier and more positively charged, which makes them easily absorbed by materials, including skin.
Alpha Gamma Omega was created on 1927-02-25.
Alpha Delta Gamma was created on 1924-10-10.
The motto of Alpha Gamma Omega is 'Fraternity for Eternity.'.
Alpha Gamma Rho was created on 1904-10-10.
Gamma Zeta Alpha was created on 1987-12-03.
