A nuclear reaction is given by X → A Z Y + A−4 Z−2 B⁻ represents

1. fission
2. β-decay
3. α-decay
4. fusion

Correct answer: α-decay

Solution

The reaction shows the emission of a particle with a mass number of 4 and an atomic number of 2, which corresponds to an alpha particle (α). This is characteristic of α-decay.
