Explanation:
This nuclear equation describes the electron-positron annihilation in which an electron collides with its antiparticle, a positron; the collision annihilates the electron and the positron and releases two gamma-ray photons.
A positron is the electron's antiparticle, i.e. a particle that has the same mass but opposite charge. When the two collide the resulting annihilation and gamma-ray photon emission are described by this equation:
