Answer: The given statement is False.
Explanation:
Alpha particle is a helium nuclei.
Alpha particles are produced when a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei in radioactive decay. Alpha particles have mass number and atomic number as 4 and 2 respectively.
General representation of alpha decay :
[tex]^A_Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm{Y}+^4_2\textrm{He}[/tex]
Thus the given statement that alpha particle is composed of [tex]He^{2+}[/tex] ions is False.
The statement of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex] ions has formed the alpha particles is true.
Alpha particles are particles that have been similar to the He-4, with the presence of two protons and two neutrons. The alpha particles have the absence of electrons and have been formed during the alpha decay.
[tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex] has been the ion of He with the positive charge indicating the loss of 2 electrons. Thus, in [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex], there has been 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 0 electrons.
The atomic configuration of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex]has been similar to the alpha particles. Thus, the statement stating, "the alpha particles to be composed of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex]ions " is True.
