What does an alpha particle consist of?

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
7 0
An alpha particle is like a Helium atom. And Helium has an atomic number of 2 and mass number or 4.

Mass Number =4,
Atomic Number = 2, for a Neutral Atom, Atomic Number = Number of Proton = 2

Mass Number = Proton + Neutron.

4 = 2 + Neutron

Neutron = 4 -2 = 2

Hence alpha particle has 2 Protons and 2 Neutrons. Option C.

Compared to the weak nuclear force the electromagnetic force
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

Weak nuclear force:

The interaction between the subatomic particles is called weak nuclear force.

The weak nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The weak nuclear force is effective at very short distance.

The range and relative strength of weak nuclear force is 10⁻¹⁸ m and 10²⁵ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Deuterium is formed due to the fusion of protons and neutrons under the action the weak force.

Example : Beta decay

Electromagnetic force:  

The interaction between the charged particles is called electromagnetic force.

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The electromagnetic force is effective at long range distance.  

The range and relative strength of electromagnetic force is infinity and 10³⁶ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Example : light
