Question 41

A data logger records a nuclear change in an irradiated metal sample.

{}^{94}_{41}\mathrm{X}\rightarrow{}^{94}_{42}\mathrm{Y}+{}^{A}_{Z}\mathrm{P}+{}^{0}_{0}\gamma

Which pair gives the values of $A\,$ and $Z\,$ for particle $P\mathrm{P}$ ?

[1]

$A = 0$ and $Z = - 1$

$A = 0$ and $Z = + 1$

$A = 1$ and $Z = 0$

$A = 0$ and $Z = 0$
