Metals are the majority of the periodic table. Also, they are on the left side of the periodic table. The no metals are on the right side of periodic table.

#3 is the right one I believe
Answer:
The correct answer is - alpha particle and positron.
Explanation:
In this question, it is given that, 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, which means there is an atomic number decrease by 4, 38 to 34, and atomic mass decreases by 4 as well 88 to 84.
A decrease in the atomic mass is possible only when there is an emission of the alpha particle as an alpha particle is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. If an atom emits an alpha particle, there is a change in atomic number as it decreases by two, and its mass number decreases by four.
So after the emission of an alpha particle, the new atom would be
38^88Sr=> 36^84X => 34^84Kr
so there is also two positron emission that leads to decrease in atomic number by one with each emission:
38^88Sr=> 2^4He+ 36^84X => 36^84X + 2(1^0β+) => 34^84Kr
Positron decay is the conversion of a proton into a neutron with the emission of a positron that causes the atomic number is decreased by one, which causes a change in the elemental identity of the daughter isotope.
This might help you hope so
An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the size of the atom. The higher its electronegativity, the more an element attracts electrons. The opposite of electronegativity is electropositivity, which is a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons.
