What will alpha particles be when pick up electrons and stabilizes?
Alpha particles are helium nuclei. They don't change, per se, when they "pick up electrons", they just become non-ionic, and their charge becomes zero. They were, and become, so to speak, plain helium.
What happens to an atom when it emits an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. When it captures a pair of electrons, it becomes a helium-4 atom. Alpha particles released in nuclear decay events quickly pick up a pair of electrons from the environment and become those helium atoms, and the atom is said to be electrically neutral.
Does alpha decay produce helium atoms?
No, alpha decay does not directly produce helium atoms. Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, but it is not considered a helium atom until it captures electrons and becomes electrically neutral.
What does magnetic fields pick up?
Magnetic fields can pick up ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, causing them to become magnetized or attracted to the source of the magnetic field. They can also influence the motion of charged particles, such as electrons, which can create electrical currents. Additionally, magnetic fields are capable of interacting with other magnetic fields, allowing for phenomena such as magnetic induction and resonance.
What are atoms that tend to pick up electrons in a reaction called?
Anions

Is helium a product of radioactive decay?
Yes. Alpha particles can be a product of radioactive decay, and alpha particles are simply Helium nuclei. Unless they interact with other atoms, they will tend to pick up stray electrons (they need two) and become stable 4He atoms.
Is an alpha particle radioactive?
An alpha particle itself is not radioactive, but it is the result of a type of radioactive decay called (obviously) alpha decay. The alpha particle is actually a helium-4 nucleus, and it will eventually pick up a pair of electrons and become an atom of that inert or noble gas.
Beta particles will?
They have a RAVE, BABY!

What use is alpha radiation?
It is used in smoke detectors as it cannot travel far in air. Alpha radiation is emitted and as long as the detector in the device is receiving the alpha radiation, then no smoke is present. When smoke particles are present, they interrupt the radiation, and so the detector doesn't pick up the radiation, causing the alarm to go off.
What particle is identical to an alpha particle?
The nucleus of a helium-4 atom is an alpha particle. When an alpha particle, which is two protons and two neutrons, is released in nuclear decay (alpha decay), it will zip out with a lot of kinetic energy. But it will quickly slow down and pick up a pair of electrons from the environment and "become" a 24He atom.
When NADPH gives up its electrons?
NADPH becomes oxidized to NADP+, losing the electrons it carried. The electrons are typically used in cellular processes, such as in photosynthesis or cellular respiration, and NADP+ can then pick up more electrons to become NADPH again.
Does alpha decay produce helium atoms?
No, alpha decay does not directly produce helium atoms. Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, but it is not considered a helium atom until it captures electrons and becomes electrically neutral.
