The positively charged atom released during the disintegration of a radioactive element is called an alpha particle.

Here's why:

* Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, which are bound together to form a particle identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

* This makes them positively charged due to the two protons.

* Alpha decay is a common type of radioactive decay where the unstable nucleus of a radioactive element emits an alpha particle, transforming the original atom into a different element.
