Helium-4 nuclei, or alpha particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons, making them the most stable and abundant isotope of helium. They are produced in various nuclear processes, including nuclear fusion in stars and radioactive decay. Helium-4 plays a crucial role in astrophysics, particularly in stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis. Its stability and low mass also make it valuable in applications like cryogenics and as a lifting gas in balloons.
