Some patterns and trend that are present in the periodic table would be
1. electronegativity (from left-to-right it increases across the table)
2. ionization (from left-to right it increases and from bottom-to-top it increases)
3. electron affinity (same as ionization energy)
4. atom radius (increases opposite way; from right-to-left it increases and from top-to-bottom it increases)
5. melting point (higher melting points with metals and lower melting point with non-metals)
6. metallic character (same as atom radius)
Your answer is (4) 4, because the alpha particle is a helium nucleus (either an ion or an ejected particle from alpha decay), and it has a mass number of 4, being consisted of four nucleons, (2 protons and 2 neutrons).
