In the notation \( _Z^A X \):
- \( A \) represents the **mass number**, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
- \( Z \) represents the **atomic number**, which is the number of protons in the nucleus and determines the identity of the element.
- \( X \) represents the **chemical symbol for the element**.
Therefore, in the given notation \( _Z^A X \), the component \( X \) specifically refers to the **chemical symbol for the element**.
