The beta minus decay of polonium isotopes is extremely rare. Beta decay involve the increase of the atomic number with 1.Example: Po-218----------------beta minus---------------At-218
The equation for the beta decay of 24Na is: 1124Na --> 1224Mg + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
The equation for the beta decay of 97Zr is: 4097Zr --> 4197Nb + -10e representing the beta particle as -10e.
The equation for the beta decay of 137Cs is: 55137Cs --> 56137Ba + -10e where the -10e is a negative beta particle or electron.
There are a number of radioactive isotopes of copper, choosing 66Cu as on that undergoes negative beta decay, the equation is: 2966Cu --> 3066Zn + -10e Where e represents the beta particle, which can also be viewed as an electron.

Polonium-218 undergoes alpha decay to form lead-214, which then undergoes beta decay to form bismuth-214.
All isotopes of polonium can undergo alpha decay, a small number of isotopes can also undergo beta decay, K capture decay, or gamma decay.
Bismuth-214 produces Polonium-214 by beta- decay. It also produces Thallium-210 by alpha decay, though at a much smaller percentage.
Polonium-212 is formed by beta decay of bismuth-212.
Bismuth-214
The equation for the beta decay of 24Na is: 1124Na --> 1224Mg + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
The product of beta decay of bismuth-209 is thallium-209. During beta decay, a neutron in the bismuth nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino.
The equation for the beta decay of 97Zr is: 4097Zr --> 4197Nb + -10e representing the beta particle as -10e.
Pb-212
There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations. The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron. The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron. The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve
