(i) 88226​Ra→86222​Rn+24​He(ii) 94242​Pu→92238​U+24​He(iii) In β−1 decay, there is a gain of one proton and an anti-neutrino is emitted from nucleus.1532​P⇒1632​S+e−+νˉ(iv) In β− decay, there is a gain of one proton and an anti-neutrino is emitted from nucleus.83210​Bi⇒84210​Po+e−+νˉ(v) In β+ decay, there is loss of one proton and an neutrino is emitted from nucleus.611​C→511​B+e++ν(vi) In β+ decay, there is loss of one proton and an neutrino is emitted from nucleus.4397​Tc→4297​Mo+e++ν(vii) 54120​Xe+e+→53120​I+ν
