Radioactive particles can emit radiation in the form of particles or gamma radiation.
Ionising radiation forces electrons from atoms, leaving an atom with a positive charge called an ion.
Alpha particles are more ionising than beta or gamma because they have a bigger charge and stronger electric field.
