Answer

See explanation. $^0_{1}\beta ^+$ $^0_0\nu$ $^0_0\overline {\nu} $

Work Step by Step

The upper left prefix indicates the mass, which is negligible for an electron. The lower prefix normally represents Z, and an electron has a charge of -1. So $^0_{-1}\beta ^-$ is the representation of an electron. The other answers reflect the corresponding properties of a positron, a neutrino, and an antineutrino.
