1.Type of bonding in which electrons are completely transferred is called ionic bond.
2. Isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass number.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Therefore, A is correct. 
3. Nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons.
4. Chemical reactions follows the law of conservation of mass. Therefore mass of reactant = mass of product = 4 grams.
