Answer 1

To answer the questions regarding the nuclear reaction, let’s analyze each one systematically.

1. What is the atomic mass of the new atom?

   • Based on the options available, the atomic mass of the new atom produced in the reaction is 228 (option h).

2. What is the atomic number of the new atom?

   • The atomic number of the new atom produced in the reaction is 88 (option i).

3. What is the symbol of the new atom?

   • The symbol of the new atom produced in the reaction is Ra (Radium) (option l).

4. What type of decay is demonstrated here?

   • The type of decay demonstrated in this context seems to be Alpha Decay (option f).

So matching the answers from Column A with Column B:

1. Atomic mass of the new atom: h. 228
2. Atomic number of the new atom: i. 88
3. Symbol of the new atom: l. Ra
4. Type of decay demonstrated: f. Alpha Decay

Please note that these answers could vary depending on the specifics of the nuclear reaction, but this conclusion is drawn based on typical alpha decay reactions involving radium or related isotopes.
