Hello my name is Tobie and I will be more than glad to help!

your answer should be alpha particle

consisting of two protons and two neutrons emitted by radioactive materials we get what is called a alpha particle

they are usually formed when identical to the nucleus of the helium-4 atom are emitted by radioactive matter !

What can they do to the body?

Since they have radioactive material in them they are very DANGEROUS! If they are inhaled swallowed or somehow get inside our bodies it can cause serious harm!They can harm sensitive living tissue and can go as far as to causing cancer !
