00:01 There are various types of radiation, and in order to write a nuclear reaction, we often represent these types of radiation symbolically.
00:15 There are symbols associated with alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, protons, and positrons.
00:26 An alpha particle is simply a helium nucleus.
00:30 A helium nucleus has two protons and two neutrons.
00:33 Therefore, its mass is going to be a total of four with an atomic number corresponding to the number of protons of two.
00:43 This is one common form for the alpha particle...
