A database contains a record of a nucleus before it emits gamma radiation.
Two technicians propose different records for the nucleus after the emission.
| Record | Number of protons | Number of neutrons |
|---|---|---|
| Before emission | 26 | 31 |
| Proposed record P | 26 | 31 |
| Proposed record Q | 26 | 30 |
Explain which proposed record should be entered in the database.
