The symbol for an alpha particle is 24He2+. The first 2 means that there are 2 protons. The second 2+ means that the net charge is +2, which means, since there are 2 protons, that there are no electrons. The result is that an alpha particle is a helium nucleus without its electrons, i.e. 2 protons and 2 neutrons, but no electrons.
What else can I help you with?
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)
What is the charge of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
What is the charge of the emitted particle in alpha decay?
In alpha decay, the emitted particle has a charge of 2.
Which naturally occurring radioactive particle is the largest?
Alpha particles are the same size as a helium nucleus and are made up of 2 protons and two neutrons. They have no electrons so an alpha particle has a +2 charge
What represents an alpha particle?
An alpha particle in nuclear chemistry is a helium-4 nucleus, or 42He+2. In order to simplify, the Greek letter alpha is also used to represent the particle.
How manyneutrons are in an alpha particle?

What is the charge of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
Which notation is used to represent a beta particle?
The notations used to represent an alpha particle are either "a," "α^2+," or "He^2+." Alpha particles only have two protons and two neurons, making them essentially the same as helium nuclei, hence "He^2+."
What is the composistion of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. So, it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Which particle is composed of 2 neutrons and 2 protons?
An alpha particle.

In alpha decay, the emitted particle has a charge of 2.
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
What is the electronic charge of an alpha?
The chaarge of an alpha particle is +2.
Are alpha particle negative or positive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it has a charge of +2.
What is the particle charge of an electron?
