The measure of the number of atoms in one element that will combine with an atom of another element is
a. atomic charge.
b. molecular number.
c. valence.
d. atomic number

The correct answer is:

C. valence.

Explanation:

The valence or valency of an element is a stratagem of its connecting power with other atoms when it makes chemical compounds or molecules.

A valence electron is an outer shell electron that is connected with an atom, and that can compete in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond provide one valence electron in order to form a shared pair

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
