i am not sure if you have typed the Q properly. To my knowledge there is nothing called alpha particles of hydrogen. But alpha particles of helium exist. The helium nucleus with +2 charge is called alpha particle.

Your question has no sense in physics . The hydrogen has only 1 proton since Z=1 and can not emit a particle alpha with Z=2
particle alpha is the nucleus of helium far more important than hydrogen

There's no such thing. An alpha particle is essentially a helium nucleus, with 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and hydrogen only has 1 proton (can have 0, 1, or 2 neutrons, depending on the isotope).
Alpha decay is only seen in heavier elements.

Protium. Hydrogen alpha means 1st hydrogen and the lightest hydrogen is it's Protium isotope.
