MCQ
An $\alpha$-particle captures an electron. What does it change to?
  • A
    He2+
  • B
    He
  • C
    He+
  • D
    $\alpha$

Answer

  1. He+

Explanation:

An α particle has two protons and two neutrons and zero electrons. It is written as $^4_2\text{​He}^{2+}$.

So if it captures an electron, the reaction is:

$^4_2\text{​He}^{2+}$ + +e− → $^4_2\text{​He}^{+}$
