Begin by understanding the structure of an atom. An atom consists of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and is surrounded by electrons.
Recall that protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
Neutrons are neutral particles, also located in the nucleus of an atom.
Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in electron clouds or shells.
Alpha particles are composed of two protons and two neutrons, forming a nucleus. Therefore, the particle that lacks a nucleus is the electron, as it exists outside the nucleus.
