Write one balanced equation each to show: Emission of beta^(-) (i.e., a negative beta particle)

If a nucleus ._(Z)^(A)x emits one alpha -particle and one beta (negative beta ) particle in succession, then the daughter nucleus will have which of the following configurations?

Staements I: ._zX^4 undergoes 2 alpha -decays, 2 beta -decays (negative beta ) and 2 gamma -decays. As a result, the daughter product is _(z-2)X^(A-8) . Staements II: In beta -decay, the mass number decreases by 4 unit and atomic number decreases by 2 unit. In beta -decay (negative beta ), the mass number remains unchanged and atomic number increases by 1 unit. In gamma -decay, mass number and atomic number remain unchanged.

Pauli suggested the emission of nutrino during beta^+ decay to explain

Staements I: ._zX^4 undergoes 2 alpha -decays, 2 beta -decays (negative beta ) and 2 gamma -decays. As a result, the daughter product is ._z._-2X^(A-B) . Staements II: In alpha -decay, the mass number decreases by 4 unit and atomic number decreases by 2 unit. In beta -decay (negative beta ), the mass number remains unchanged and atomic number increases by 1 unit. In gamma -decay, mass number and atomic number remain unchanged.
