8 0

Answer:

1. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, a radio active decay in which an atom loses an helium atom.

AN alpha particle is identical  to the helium particle. The helium particle has mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2. This means;

Number of protons = 2

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 2

The correct option is option 1.
