Which of the following is positively charged?

1. α-particle
2. β-particle
3. γ-rays
4. X-rays

Correct answer: α-particle

Solution

An α-particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, making it positively charged. The other options are either negatively charged (β-particle) or neutral (γ-rays and X-rays).
