Answer: The correct answer is alpha particle.

Explanation:

There are 3 radioactive particles which are released in radioactive decay process:

1. Alpha particle: This particle is released when a nuclei undergoes alpha decay. The particle released has a mass of 4 units and has a charge of 2 units. The particle is positively charged.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}+_2^4\alpha

2. Beta-particle: This particle is released when a nuclei undergoes beta decay process. The particle released has a mass of 0 units and has a charge of (-1) units.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

3. Gamma radiations: These radiations are released when an unstable nuclei undergoes gamma ray emission and gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. The radiations does not carry any charge and has no mass.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

Hence, the radioactive particle that is charged charged and has two protons and two neutrons is the alpha particle.

What are atoms?
user100 [1]

Answer:

The smallest particle of a chemical element can be defined as an atom.

Explanation:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge.

a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom is known as valence electrons.

An atom's reactivity is its tendency to lose or gain electrons. ... This is because they have one outer electron and losing it gives them the stability of a outer electron shell as the next level... The reactivities of elements can be predicted by periodic trends.
