In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
Nuclear Fission. The Nucleus of the Atom has been split apart.
The reaction described is a nuclear reaction known as a nuclear transmutation. When beryllium-9 is bombarded by an alpha particle (which is a helium-4 nucleus), it transforms into carbon-12 while emitting a neutron. This process involves the change of one element into another, demonstrating the principles of nuclear physics and the interaction between particles.
Nuclear reaction is a process where two nuclei or particles interact to form different particles. This process can involve fusion, fission, or other types of interactions between atomic nuclei.
Stars are balls of gasses in plasma form. The high pressure and temperature in the core of the stars ignites a nuclear fusion reaction, that is the source of the light and energy emitted by them.
A collision between atomic particles is necessary to overcome the repulsion between their positively charged nuclei. When particles collide with enough energy, they can come close enough for the strong nuclear force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion, triggering a nuclear reaction. Without a collision, the forces involved are not strong enough to induce a reaction.

subatonic particles
The subatomic particles that can change in a nuclear reaction are protons, neutrons, and electrons. During nuclear reactions, these particles can be gained or lost, leading to the formation of different elements and isotopes.
Nucleus
Nuclear reaction is a process where two nuclei or particles interact to form different particles. This process can involve fusion, fission, or other types of interactions between atomic nuclei.
Radiation
In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.
The nuclear reaction when atoms split is called fission. Fission is where atoms split into smaller particles or atoms.
Stars are balls of gasses in plasma form. The high pressure and temperature in the core of the stars ignites a nuclear fusion reaction, that is the source of the light and energy emitted by them.
In addition to gamma rays, other particles that can be released in nuclear reactions include neutrons, protons, alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), neutrinos, and various fission fragments. The specific particles released depend on the type of nuclear reaction taking place.
