उत्तर
The β+ decay for `""_11^22Na` is given below:
`""_11^22Na->_10^22Ne+beta^++v`
If the unstable nucleus has excess protons than required for stability, a proton converts itself into a neutron. In the process, a positron e+ (or a β+) and a neutrino ν are created and emitted from the nucleus.
p→n+β++ν
This process is called beta plus decay.
