6 Radioactivity

A radioactive tracer undergoes a nuclear change. The change is recorded as

{}^{52}_{25}\mathrm{X}\rightarrow{}^{A}_{Z}\mathrm{Y}+{}^{0}_{+1}\mathrm{e}+{}^{0}_{0}\gamma

Which pair gives the values of $A\,$ and $Z\,$ for the daughter nucleus?

[1]

$A = 52$ and $Z = 26$

$A = 53$ and $Z = 25$

$A = 52$ and $Z = 24$

$A = 51$ and $Z = 25$
