Question

4 characteristics of Alpha decay
plz fast ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1-Alpha particles are energetic nuclei of helium and they are relatively heavy and carry a double positive charge.

2-Typical alpha particle have kinetic energy about 5 MeV. This is due to the nature of alpha decay.

3-Pure alpha decay is very rare, alpha decay is frequently accompanied by gamma radiation.

4-Alpha particles interact with matter primarily through coulomb forces (ionization and excitation of matter) between their positive charge and the negative charge of the electrons from atomic orbitals
