Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear particle which is positively charged is known as an alpha particle. An alpha particle is emitted during a radioactive decay.

Mass of an alpha particle is similar to mass of a helium atom, that is why, a helium atom is also known as an alpha particle.

Therefore, an alpha particle is denoted as ^{4}_{2}He. That is, there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in an alpha particle.

Thus, we can conclude that an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

Describe the appearance of the water and the hydrogen peroxide. How are they similar and how are they different?
Ber [7]

The bonds that hold H2O2 together break apart and the atoms are rearranged to form water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) molecules. This happens slowly in store-‐bought hydrogen peroxide, so even in dark bottles, it will 'expire' in a year, or less if it's opened. ... And higher concentrations of H2O2 produce more oxygen.
