The mass number of the isotope 228Ra is 228.
232U alpha decays to 228Th. Thorium-228 is the daughter product of the alpha decay of uranium-232.
The relative atomic mass of radonis indeterminiate because this element is relatively short lived and exists only as a transient decay product.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.Example for the isotope 228 of uranium:- uranium-228- U-228-- 22892U
Radon has 86 protons, 86 electrons.Rn-222 isotope has 136 (222 - 86 = 136) neutrons
Radium - 228.
Seems some mistake in printing the mass number of thorium. It has to be 227. No Th-225 is available as far as the tables have been analysed. When a alpha particle comes out then the atomic number of parent is reduced by 2 and its mass number will be reduced by 4. So in case of Th-227, it gets changed to Ra-223 after the emission of an alpha particle.

228 is a composite number and not a prime numberr.
Radium undergoes radioactive decay, specifically alpha decay, to become radon. Radium-226 (226Ra) will undergo alpha decay releasing that alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, to become radon-222 (222Rn).
Although the atomic mass number of radon is often given as 220, there are 39 isotopes and isomers of radon. The common isomers of radon are : radon-219, radon-220, and radon-222.
