What radiation releases a helium particle?

Alpha radiation is essentially a Helium nucleus (not the whole atom, apha particles don't have electrons on them). An alpha particle is just two protons and two neutrons and as a result they also have a relative charge of +2.


What alpha radiation is made up of?

Alpha radiation is made up of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons. These particles have a positive charge and are relatively large and heavy compared to other types of radiation.

Which Form of radiation that is a particle consisting of two neutrons and two protons?

The form of radiation that consists of two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. It is essentially a helium nucleus and is relatively large compared to other types of radiation, with a low penetration ability.


Do neutrons and protons make up the nucleus?

Yes, neutrons and protons are the two primary particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and together they account for almost all the mass of an atom.


Where are the protons and neutrons found in an atom?

Protons and neutrons are normally found in the atomic nucleus.


Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?

Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
