Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are fully ionized helium (4He) nucleus. These nucleus consist of two protons and two neutrons. They are positively charged (+2) due to the absence of electrons. It has the same mass as the He atom (6,64 \(10^{-27}\) kg) or (4 uma), and the same charge (3,2 \(10^{-19}\) C).
