Alpha decay : The alpha decay process symbolically in the following way
`""_(Z)^(A)"X"""_(Z-2)^(A-4)"Y" + ""_(2)^(4)"He"`
Beta decay : `beta` decay is reprsented by `""_(Z)^(A)"X" to ""_(Z-1)^(A)"Y" + e^(+) + v`
Gamma decay : The gamma decay is given by `""_(Z)^(A)"X"^(*) to ""_(Z)^(A)"X" +` gamma `(gamma)` rays
