Answer:

Hope this helps you.

Explanation:

Alpha decay occurs when a nucleus is unstable because it has too many protons. ... The nucleus emits an alpha particle and energy. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, which is actually a helium nucleus. Losing the protons and neutrons makes the nucleus more stable.
