a radioactive element decays to bromine-81 after electron capture. what is the chemical symbol for the nuclide that forms

The nuclear reaction depicting electron capture decay is: X + e- --> z-1Y + ve. The electron on the left side of the equation is usually absorbed from the K or L shell of the parent nucleus. Note the reduction in atomic number but conservation of mass number in the daughter nucleus.
