In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus transforms into a proton while emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. For the isotope 223/87 Fr (Francium), the beta decay equation can be represented as:
[ ^{223}{87}Fr \rightarrow ^{223}{88}Ra + \beta^- + \bar{\nu} ]
Here, Fr (Francium) decays into Ra (Radium) with the atomic number increasing by one, and a beta particle (β-) is emitted.
The nuclear decay equation for the decay of selenium-75 (75Se) by beta decay is: ( ^{75}{34}Se \rightarrow ^{75}{35}Br + e^- + \overline{\nu_e} ) This equation represents the transformation of a selenium-75 nucleus into a bromine-75 nucleus, an electron, and an electron antineutrino.

To write nuclear decay equations, you would typically start with the parent nucleus and identify the type of decay (alpha, beta, gamma). Then, you would balance the equation by conserving mass number and atomic number on both sides of the equation. Finally, you write the decay products. Remember to include the correct particles emitted during the decay process.
