To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given radioactive decay sequence step by step. The decay sequence is: 1. **Step 1: X → Y** - Here, the atomic number increases from Z to Z + 1, while the mass number remains the same (A). - This type of decay occurs during **beta decay**, where a beta particle (electron) is emitted, resulting in the transformation of a neutron into a proton. 2. **Step 2: Y → Z** - In this step, the atomic number decreases from Z + 1 to Z - 1, and the mass number decreases from A to A - 4. ...
