Answer:

228

Explanation:

alpha decay is removing alpha particle _2^{4}He

2 number of protons, 4 mass number = 2 protons + 2 neutrons

We have

      90 protons and 142 neutrons

<u>       - 2 protons         -  2 neutrons</u>

      88 protons         140 neutrons

Mass number of new (daughter) atom = 88 +140 = 228
