Alpha particles were fast-moving and positively charged particles emitted by radioactive elements. They were relatively massive and had a high kinetic energy.
The alpha particles used in Rutherford’s experiment were positively charged, consisting of two protons and two neutrons (helium nuclei). They were emitted from a radioactive source with high kinetic energy.
