Neutrons are the important particles of nuclear chain reactions
To balance the nuclear equation, a beta particle (negatron) must be included. The balanced equation would be 220/88 Ra -> 4/2 He (alpha particle) + 212/86 Rn + 2 -1 e.
The number in a nuclear chemical symbol represents the charge of the particle is the atomic number or the number of protons in the nucleus.
The electron has a neglible mass and a charge of minus 1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs.
No nuclear particle has a relative mass of 4. However, the alpha particle which is emitted by one of the radioactive iodine isotopes, has a relative mass of 4. An alpha particle is emitted from the nucleus but not referred to as a nuclear particle because it is made up of 4 nuclear particles - 2 neutrons and 2 protons.
The neutron was the second subatomic particle to be discovered, following the electron. It was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932 during experiments involving the bombardment of beryllium with alpha particles. The discovery of the neutron was crucial in our understanding of atomic structure and the development of nuclear physics.
Gamma rays do not have mass or charge, so they do not contribute to the balance of a nuclear equation that involves the emission of an alpha particle. The alpha particle carries away the mass and charge necessary to balance the nuclear equation.

Neutron particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction.

A gamma particle, which is a photon of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, is typically formed during nuclear reactions such as beta decay or fusion. When a nucleus transitions from an excited state to a lower-energy state, it emits a gamma particle to balance its energy levels.
The nuclear particle that has no charge is the neutron.

No, that would be a neutron. A proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and a 1+ charge
