The characteristics of α-particle is enigmatic in that its formation, configuration, role in nucleosyntheses, stability, compactness, having smallest radius among all poly-nucleon nuclides, highest value of core density, exhibition of different values of half-lives in decay process could not be unified through a suitable explanatory concept. The α- cluster model which is frequently used as an active non-mathematical tool for nucleosyntheses suffers from inconsistency in its applicability.In the present communication all of the above mentioned peculiarities of α-particle have been interpreted in term of the Quantum Chromo Dynamical (QCD) standard model of particle physics using d-quarks as the ultimate binding force. In addition, the formation and properties of nucleons of low mass number has been explained. The binding energy of the isotopes of low mass number nuclides is mainly contributed by the d-quarks involved in the formation of the nuclides. The reluctance of α-particle towards any type of combination goes against the idea of α- cluster model.The mechanism of radioactive decay of α-particles and the possibility of occurrence of half-life periods of isotopes with all types of values from very high to extremely low have been considered. It is possible that both kinetic and mechanical forces are involved in the decay process.It may be inferred that the nuclear architecture is built out of p — n pairs as bricks and the binding energy is derived mainly from d-quarks acting as cement.
