Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we start by stating what is meant by nucleon number

The nucleon number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

In the case of a beta minus particle, there is neither a proton nor a neutron

Thus, we have the nucleon number as zero
