Expert's answer

Both alpha and beta are ions, meaning they are charged particles. Gamma is a form of light, which is an excitation of the electromagnetic field. Light, or photons, are not a particle and it has no charge. Gamma possesses the ability to ionize but is not an ion itself because it has no charge. Only gamma radiation is electromagnetic.
