Alpha particle - positively charged particle (+) that consists of two electrons and two neutrons.

Cathode rays - it is the stream of electrons (negatively charged) found in vacuum.

Protons - are particles that carry positive charge and is present inside the nucleus of an atom.

Electrons - are particles that carry negative charge and is present in the orbits of the atom.

Neutrons - electrically neutral particle (0 charge) present inside the nucleus of an atom. However, it has its own mass.
