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.


What is a structure consisting of two protons and two neutrons called?

alpha particle


Is beta consisted by two protons and neutrons?

No, beta radiation is composed of electrons or positrons. An alpha particle is two protons and to neutrons.


Positively charged particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is given off by a radioactive substance is called what?

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).


What is an alfa particle?

An alpha particle is a type of ionizing radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons, equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus. It is commonly emitted during the process of radioactive decay and has a relatively low penetration power, making it less harmful compared to other types of radiation.


Structure consisting of two protons and two neutrons which identical to the heliumb nucleus?

alpha particle


Structure consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is identical to the helium nucleus?

An alpha particle.


What occurs when a nucleus releases a particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons?

Alpha Decay


Which is an alpha particle?

An alpha particle is a type of radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons bound together. It is the nucleus of a helium atom and is emitted during radioactive decay processes. Alpha particles have a relatively low penetration power and are commonly stopped by a sheet of paper or human skin.


Particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons?

Helium Because mass= protons + neutrons Therefore 2+2=4 and the element with mass of 4 is helium Hope this helped


What type of radiation is given off when a nucleus releases two neutrons and two protons?

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.
