An alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons; this is what a helium nucleus is made up of as well.
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).
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.
That is alpha decay. The particle is identical to a helium nucleus.
No, it is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.
Helium nucleus
A radiation particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is called an Alpha Particle. Alpha Particles have the same structure as a Helium nucleus. There are three forms of radiation, Alpha (Helium nucleus), Beta (a lone electron) and Gamma (an Electromagnetic wave).
An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of Helium atom

The radioactive alpha particle has the same structure as the atomic nucleus of helium. They are usually formed and emitted during alpha decay.
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.
The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
a He nucleus is known as alpha particle.
Helium nucleus.
That is alpha decay. The particle is identical to a helium nucleus.
False. An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus.
No, it is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.
