Answer:
The answer to your question is: The mass number will be 4 units lower.
Explanation:
Alpha particles are Helium atoms, which have a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2.
When an alpha particle is released, the original atom loses 2 protons and and 2 neutrons an we can see in the example.
²²⁶ ₈₈ Ra ⇒ ²²² ₈₆ Rn + ⁴₂ He
What about it do you want answered
This is a tricky question. All that matters are ratios of percentages, not percentages themselves. So no one should directly compare 27.2 with 42.9. We must and shall compare the ratios (27.2 to 72.8) and (42.9 to 57.1).
Take them both down to 1 to and see what happens.
Working out the formulas knowing atomic masses is a bit beside the point; this is how people first DISCOVERED the idea of atomic mass.
