#""_-1^0e#

Explanation:

The first equation is when Uranium gives off an alpha particle.

The second equation is when Mercury gains a beta particle. This negative particle combines with a positive proton in the nucleus, forming a neutron. This is why the number of protons goes down but the total weight stays the same.
