How is the atomic mass changed?
When the number of neutrons changes, the atomic mass will change.
What element continue to decay until they finally become stable?
All elements above the atomic number of 83 are radioactive, but two elements that are under it are also radioactive. They are technetium (atomic number 43) and promethium (atomic number 61). Radioactive elements are elements that decay until stable. =)
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
Does group 1 element become less metallic as atomic number increases?
No; just the reverse.
Which elements can become stable by losing one elements?
An chemical element cannot loss a chemical element. Probable you think to the last member of a radioactive decay chain.

Does a radioactive element become stable after its mass number become less than 82?
Not always -- Hydrogen-3 is radioactive, for example.
How can element 92 become element 83?
Through radioactive decay, because Uranium (element 92) is unstable.
How uranium nucleus become stable?
Being radioactive, uranium is not a stable element.
Changing the number of protons in an atom would change what?
If an atom were to change the number of protons it had than it would change the atomic number and therefore become a different element. Radioactive decay is one example of this, for example, alpha decay is when a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle (2 protons + 2 neutrons) and in doing so, becomes a nucleus of a different element. Polonium-212 decays to Lead-208 in this way.
What would happen to an atom if the number of protons in the nucleus changed?
It would become a different element. It could become radioactive.
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
What happens where two elements have the same atomic number?
No two different elements can have the same atomic number.
Does group 1 element become less metallic as atomic number increases?
No; just the reverse.
Which elements can become stable by losing one elements?
An chemical element cannot loss a chemical element. Probable you think to the last member of a radioactive decay chain.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
