Why does gamma radiation NOT change the type of atom?
The type of atom is only changed if the proton number changes. Change in neutrons create an isotope, change in electrons create an ion and the change in protons change the atom (Hydrogen to Helium for example). Gamma radiation is the emission of a photon, of pure energy, it is neither positive or negative and it has nothing to do with the protons.
Is helium only one type of atom?
There are two naturally occurring isotopes of helium: He-3 (which is very rare, comprising 0.00014% of naturally occurring helium), and He-4 (which comprises the other 99.99986%of naturally occurring helium). Whether helium is one type of atom or not then depends on the definition of "one type of atom"; if He-3 and He-4 are considered different types of atom due to their differing numbers of neutrons, then no, helium is not one type of atom; if He-3 and He-4 are both considered the same type of atom due to their common number of protons, then yes, helium is one type of atom.
When a helium atom loses an electron then what is formed?
When a helium atom loses an electron, it forms a helium ion which is positively charged because it has one less electron than protons. This helium ion is written as He+.
What type of Atom or molecule is helium air in a balloon made up?
? :-(
What has two protons and two neutrons and is identical to a helium nucleus?
An alpha particle, one of the possible emissions in radioactive decay.
What type of bond would be formed between a carbon atom and a helium atom?
Helium will not react with carbon as helium is chemically inert.

What do you call the type of radiation that is described as having a positive charge with an atomic mass of 4 making it a Helium atom without any electrons?
an alpha particle
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.
When a helium atom loses an electron then what is formed?
When a helium atom loses an electron, it forms a helium ion which is positively charged because it has one less electron than protons. This helium ion is written as He+.

Is helium gas a compound?
No, helium gas is not a compound. Helium is an element, which means it consists of only one type of atom.

What type of radiation has a mass of 4 amu and a 2 plus charge?
Alpha radiation, which is the same as helium-4 nuclei.
How much does an atom's mass change when it emits gamma radiation?
An atom's mass does not change when it emits gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with no mass or charge, so the total mass of the atom remains constant. The energy and momentum carried by the gamma radiation may cause the atom to recoil, but the mass of the atom itself does not change.
