If a mixture is electrically neutral, for every alpha particle (which has a charge of +2), there must be two beta particles (each with a charge of -1) to balance the charges. So there are two more beta particles than alpha particles in the balloon.
Beta particles have an electrical charge of -1. Beta particles have a mass of 549 millionths of one atomic mass unit, or AMU, which is about 1/2000 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
There are 1.51 x 10^16 alpha particles emitted in 1.0 min by a 5.0 mg sample of 226Ra.
Three subatomic particles were discovered in the 1900s: the neutron in 1932, the positron in 1932, and the neutrino in 1956.
There are three main types of rays emitted from radioactive elements: alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles have a positive charge, beta particles have a negative charge, and gamma rays have no charge.

A proton and neutron are both composed of three quarks. An electron is a fundamental particle and is not composed of smaller particles.
There are 3 kinds of Sub-Atomic particles. These are Proton, Electron, Neutron.

Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since neutrons do not carry an electrical charge, alpha particles have a net charge of +2, meaning they have 2 electrons.
Eight alpha particles are produced as one atom of uranium-238 decays to an atom of lead-206. This decay process involves a series of alpha and beta decays, resulting in the emission of alpha particles.
the radioacity is due to 232Th decaying to 208Pb. 6 alpha and 4 beta particles.

No. Many atoms do not decay at all. Many that do undergo alpha decay. A few atoms emit neutron radiation.
