Can i get 10 reactions 5 each for beta and alpha particles to explain group displacement law?

Question

A litlle explanation would be of great help.

the group displcement law , in essence is algebra's.... right = left...

such that if yoiu add up the starting material's numbers "Z" & "A" it will  equal thr product,s totals of "Z" & "A"

Beta decays:  releasinfg 0/-1 electron:

14/6 Carbon --> 14/7 Nitrogen & 0/-1 e  (both sides add to 14/6)

59/26 Iron --> 59/27 Cobalt &  0/-1 e  (both sides add to 59/26)

239/93 Np --> 239/94 Pu & 0/-1 e  (both sides add to 239/93)

90/38 Sr --> 90/39 Y & 0/-1 e  (both sides add up to 90/38)

40/19 K --> 40/20 Ca &  0/-1 e  (both sides add up to 40/19)

=======================

alpha decay:

238/92 U --> 234/90 Th & 4/2 He (both sides add to 238/92)

235/92 U --> 231/90 Th & 4/2 He (both sides add to 235/92)

232/90 Th --> 228/88 Ra & 4/2 He (both sides add to 232/90)

239/94 Pu --> 235/92 U & 4/2 He (both sides add to 239/94)

263/106 Sg --> 259/104 Rf & 4/2 He (sides add to 263/106)

==================

try this site:

http://ie.lbl.gov/education/glossary/glo...

click on "A" , then "alpha decay" & watch the video too

click on "B",  then "beta decay"

I also use this one alot:
