Why doesn't alpha decay occur for hydrogen?
Alpha decay is a process where an atom emits an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since a hydrogen atom only has one proton, it cannot undergo alpha decay as it lacks the necessary particle combination to release an alpha particle.
What neutrons are in an alpha particle?
A nucleon is the amount of protons and neutrons. An alpha particle has an atomic number of 2 and a atomic mass of 4 then it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.There are 4 nucleons in an alpha particle.
Symbol and charge of alpha particle?
The charge of an alpha particle is 2+ and the symbol is α2+.
Are alpha particle negative or positive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it has a charge of +2.
What is an alpha particle equivilent to?
An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus, or a helium-4 ion. A difference is that an alpha particle has a certain amount of energy associated with it, so it can said to be fast or hot. The energy is measured in thousands or millions of electron volts (keV or MeV).
How manyneutrons are in an alpha particle?
There are 2 neutron in an alpha particle.
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
Is alpha particle non fundamental?
Yes, the alpha particle is nonfundamental.

Why does alpha pass through some materials and not others?
Alpha particles can pass through very few materials. The spacing between nuclei of the material would have to be enormous for an alpha particle to pass through. The passage of alpha particles simply depends on the density of the material.
What is the electrical charge of an alpha particle?
The electric charge of an alpha particle is positive. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus (which being a nucleus has a positive charge)
Why does the presence of gamma rays not affect how a nuclear equation of alpha is balance?
Gamma rays do not have mass or charge, so they do not contribute to the balance of a nuclear equation that involves the emission of an alpha particle. The alpha particle carries away the mass and charge necessary to balance the nuclear equation.
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.
Is an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a?
An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of Helium atom
What is the charge of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
What neutrons are in an alpha particle?
A nucleon is the amount of protons and neutrons. An alpha particle has an atomic number of 2 and a atomic mass of 4 then it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.There are 4 nucleons in an alpha particle.
Is the particle with a plus 2 charge a an alpha particle b a gamma ray or c a beta ray?
a. an alpha particle
