- Two protons and two neutrons – the same as a helium nucleus
- Very ionising
- Beta Particles
- Fast-moving electron
- Moderately Ionising
- Gamma rays
- High energy electromagnetic radiation
- Weakly Ionising

- Structure of an atom
- Protons and Neutron are called Sub - Atomic particles because, they are the building blocks of atoms
- The number of nuclei that decay and give off radiation every second is called the activity of the material
- Ionising radiation is radiation that has enough energy to cause other atoms to lose electrons and form ions. The different forms of radiation have different levels of ionisation abilities
