(i) State the two fundamental numerical conservation laws that must be obeyed when writing any nuclear decay reaction.
(ii) Using these laws, write the balanced nuclear equation for the beta-minus decay of carbon-14.
(iii) Show explicitly in your equation how each conservation law cited in part (i) is satisfied.
