Isotopes have same number of electrons. They have same number of protons, so their atomic numbers are same. They have different numbers of neutrons resulting different mass numbers.

What kind of decay takes place when an isotope loses an electron?

If the isotope loses the electron from its nucleus it is called beta decay. However it did not really lose the electron, as the electron never existed in the nucleus prior to the beta decay event happening. Beta decay that generates an electron happens when a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino: the proton usually remains in the nucleus, while the electron and neutrino (which is nearly impossible to detect, but it is always generated) are ejected from the nucleus at high velocity.If the isotope loses the electron from its electron shells it is not any type of decay, it is simple ionization of the atom.
