  1. Sir/madam in the answer you did not mention the daughter nucleus maybe it will be like that
    1 0n +3 1H ----> 4 2 He + 0 -1B
    so helium is daughter nucleus
    (sorry for equation writing mistake)

    1. I also have same question....i think its helium

    2. Helium with atomic mass mass 3 will produced.. as mass remains same in beta decay...Because neutron of tritium is converted into proton... Which increases atomic number........

    3. But 3 2H is not any element or isotope found in periodic table
