What is the mass number of an alpha particle? What is the identity of an alpha particle? What kind of charge does an alpha particle have?.

Sagot :

You can say mass number of an alpha particle is '4' because it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Actually its like a Helium atom without electrons. So because it doesn't have any electrons but has 2 protons, it's charge is +2.
