How do the total charge and total mass number of the products compare to the charge and mass number of the polonium nucleus?

In a nuclear reaction involving a polonium nucleus, the total charge and total mass number of the products must equal the charge and mass number of the polonium nucleus due to the conservation laws. The charge of the products will match the original charge, and the mass number of the products will be equal to the mass number of the polonium nucleus before the reaction. This ensures that both charge and mass are conserved in the process.
