Beryllium-9 is a stable isotope.
When bismuth-214 emits a positron, it undergoes beta-plus decay to produce polonium-214. This decay process involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, releasing a positron and a neutrino.
This isotope is lead-206.
Oxygen-15 undergoes beta-plus decay, where a proton is converted into a neutron, resulting in the emission of a positron and a neutrino. The positron subsequently annihilates with an electron, producing two gamma rays. This process results in the formation of nitrogen-15.
Bismuth-214 produces Polonium-214 by beta- decay. It also produces Thallium-210 by alpha decay, though at a much smaller percentage.
Thallium is not a product of β-ray (beta particle) emission itself; rather, it can be formed as a result of the decay of certain heavier elements. In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus transforms into a proton, emitting a beta particle (electron or positron) and resulting in a new element with a higher atomic number. For example, thallium-204 can be produced from the decay of lead-204 through beta decay.

The beta plus decay of mercury (a positron emission event) will deliver the daughter nucleus gold.
The daughter product of potassium-40 is argon-40, which is formed through the process of radioactive decay. Potassium-40 undergoes electron capture to become argon-40, releasing a neutrino and a positron in the process. Argon-40 is stable and does not undergo further decay.

It loses mass.

For example, thallium-204 can be produced from the decay of lead-204 through beta decay.
Alpha decay is the loss of 2 protons and 2 neutrons Beta-decay is the loss of a positron or electron Gamma decay is the loss of a photon The equation relates this loss to energy produced E=mc^2
No, whenever an atom emits a positron its atomic number is decreases by one unit (because a proton is converted into a neutron and a positron) but atomic mass remains the same so phosphorus is converted into silicon atom with same atomic mass.
Oxygen-15 is an isotope of oxygen, frequently used in positron emission tomography, or PET imaging. It is not stable.
90Th232 undergoes alpha decay to form 88Ra228. Remember, in alpha decay, a helium nuclei is emitted, comprising two protons and two neutrons. As a result, the atomic number goes down by 2, and the atomic mass number goes down by 4.
