Explanation:

In the first step, 2 protons combine. In doing so one of the protons will convert into a neutron by losing a positron (positive electron) and a neutrino; this is also known as beta decay. This changes one of the protons (positive charge) into a neutron (neutral charge) and allows the two particles to combine.
