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.
The balance nuclear equation for the alpha decay of ^251No (Nobelium-251) is: [ ^{251}{102}No \rightarrow ^{247}{100}Fm + ^{4}_{2}\alpha ] In this equation, Nobelium-251 decays into Californium-247 while emitting an alpha particle ((^4_2\alpha)). The mass and atomic numbers are conserved in the reaction.
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.
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.
beta particle
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.
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.
neutron
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
