    Answer;

    The equation for the decay is;

    4/2H = 4/3 L + 0/-1 e

    Explanation;

    An example of beta decay

    When a helium decays to form a lithium, a neutron decays into a proton and and electron, the atomic number increases by one while the atomic mass remain unchanged, the process is called beta decay.

    Therefore; the mass number remains the same (4), while the atomic number increases by one, forming Lithium.
