alpha ray
An alpha ray or alpha particle is a type of ionizing radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons. It is positively charged and is typically emitted by certain types of radioactive substances such as uranium or radium during the process of alpha decay. Due to its large mass and positive charge, it has a lower penetration power and cannot penetrate the outer layer of human skin but can be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
