Generally define the following breakdowns using the following scheme:
A → B + C, whereas at all of them particles the atomic number and the mass number indicated are should.

1. alpha decay
2. beta-minus decay
3. beta-plus decay

---

Hinweis: Alpha decay: it produces an alpha particle (He), beta decay: it produces an electron (beta minus: negative) electron charged, beta-plus: electron positively charged)

Solution:

1. Alpha decay: xyA → x-4y-2B + 42He
2. beta-minus decay:
   A neutron is converted (among other things) into a proton and an electron:
   xyA → xy+1B + 0-1e^–
3. beta-plus decay:
   A proton is transformed (among other things) into a neutron and a positively charged 'electron':
   xyA → xy-1B + 01e⁺
