THe atomic number would decrease by 2 as alpha particle comes out. But for two beta particles the atomic number would increase by 2. So the atomic number remains unchanged due to emission of one alpha followed by 2 beta particles.

What particle defines an element?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the identity of element. The number of protons equals the atomic number.
What subatomic particle has a positive charge and identifies an element by its atomic number?
The proton.
The atomic number is the number of what in an element?
An element's atomic number is a count of how many protons are normally part of the element's nucleus. Since protons are normally the only particle in the nucleus with a charge (+), the atomic number also represents the charge of the nucleus.
