The original radioisotope underwent double-alpha decay, where the original nucleus lost a total of 4 protons and 4 neutrons.

The original radioisotope would have an atomic number of 86+4 (protons), and would have an atomic mass of 222+8 (protons + neutrons). This would make the element Thorium-230, or 90Th230.

qwelly [4]
I think that you didn't copy the answers correctly, because 1 and 2 are the same, and 3 and 4 are also the same here.
Anyways, the answer which is correct is that an electron has a charge of -1, and a proton has a charge of +1.
Electrons are negatively charged, whereas protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutral.

The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation:

Colligative property is defined as property which depends upon only on the numbers of particles of solute dissolved in definite amount of  solvent, It do not depend on the nature of the solute.

For example : NaCl solution with 0.4 molal will show same colligative properties as a that of the glucose solution with 0.04 molal concentration.

The following are the examples of colligative property:

1. Relative lowering of vapor pressure.

2. Osmotic pressure

3. Elevation in boiling points

4. Depression in freezing point
