What element results if four protons and four neutrons are ejected from a plutonium nucleus?
The most common isotope of plutonium is Pu-239. Ejecting four protons and four neutrons would reduce the atomic number from 94 to 90 and the mass number from 239 to 231. Element #90 is Thorium, so the answer would be Thorium-231.
However, that is not an actual decay mode for Pu-239. Pu-239 decays by emitting an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) to Uranium-235. U-235 can then further decay by emitting another alpha particle to form Th-231.

Can protons and neutrons normally leave the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are normally bound within the nucleus by the strong nuclear force. However, they can be ejected from the nucleus in processes like radioactive decay or nuclear fission.
What element is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
All elements have neutrons and protons within the nucleus.
Where do you find the neutrons on the element?
Neutrons are found in the atomic nucleus of an element, along with protons. They have no electrical charge and help stabilize the nucleus. The number of neutrons in an element can vary, leading to different isotopes.
