Answer
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — An alpha particle contains two protons and two neutrons, same as helium nucleus. Hence the assertion (A) is true
An alpha particle is formed by removing 2 electrons from helium atom. So, it does not have any electrons. Hence the reason (R) is true.
But reason does not explain why alpha particle is same as helium nucleus. Hence reason (R) is not correct explanation of assertion (A).
