What is an alpha and beta particle?
How Alpha particles are formed?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a very small piece of matter with a positive electric charge passing through it, that is produced in a nuclear reaction
2. If alpha-emitters are inhaled, swallowed, or get into the body through a cut, the alpha particles can damage sensitive living tissue. The way these large, heavy particles cause damage makes them more dangerous than other types of radiation.
3. Alpha particles pose no direct or external radiation threat; however, they can pose a serious health threat if ingested or inhaled., beta particles. Some beta particles are capable of penetrating the skin and causing damage such as skin burns. Beta-emitters are most hazardous when they are inhaled or swallowed.
4. Alpha particles (a) are composite particles consisting of two protons and two neutrons tightly bound together . They are emitted from the nucleus of some radionuclides during a form of radioactive decay, called alpha-decay.
