Alpha particle. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.
An Alpha particle is a bare helium nuclei (two protons, two  neutrons), with a positive charge. They are relatively big  and heavy, and relatively slow moving. They do not pâ¦enetrate far  into materials; a few feet of air stops them.    A Beta particle is a charged electron (-e), or positron  (+p).
