Solution

αemission results in decrease in mass no. by 4 units and decrease in atomic no. by 2 units as alpha particles are helium nuclei, 42He.
βemission results in increase in atomic no. by one unit as beta particles have negative charge without mass. They are electrons, 01e
γemission results in no change in atomic no. and no change mass no. as they have only energy. They do not have mass and charge.
β+ (Positron) emission
results in decrease in atomic no. by one unit as positrons have positive charge without mass. They are anti particles of electrons, 0+1β
