In the 1st reaction, ⁴²K undergoes beta decay. Therefore the resulting element will have 1 more proton than ⁴²K.

Therefore, the mass number of the new particle is 42.

The atomic number of potassium is 19.

Therefore the atomic number of the new element will be 19+1=20.

Therefore the new element is Calcium.

Therefore the reaction is,

[tex]^{42}_{19}K\rightarrow^0_{-1}e+^{42}_{20}Ca_{}^{}[/tex]
