haha thanks again for the help.

Answer:

The correct statement are 1,2 and 4.

Explanation:

Beta minus decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. Along with release in energy.

The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta[/tex]

Beta plus decay: In this process, a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino and releases positron particles (beta particles with positive charge) .Along with release in energy

This particle carries a charge of +1 units.

[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0\beta[/tex]

The correct statement are 1,2 and 4.
