Verified by Experts

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