When   an  atomic  nucleus  emits  an  alpha  particle  it  decay  into  an atom   with atomic  number  2  less   and   mass number  4  less.  Thus  Thorium   230   decay    as  follows.

230 90Th  -------> 226  88Th  +  4 2 He

thorium  is  in  the  atomic  number   90  thus  it  during   alpha decay  it reduces  to  atomic  number  88  while  its  230   mass  number  reduces  to   226

Answer:

The mass of a pure substance represents a specific number of pure substance 'molecules', as defined by molecular weight. The relative atomic mass (atomic weight) in grams/mole (g/mol) is the molar mass of a substance, which means it is the mass of one mole of that substance.
