The neutrons aren't really relevant, since we don't know what the mass of the radium nucleus was and the element is determined strictly by the number of protons anyway. Radium has an atomic number of 88; losing 4 protons would make the atomic number 84, which is polonium. (This is probably really a two-step process: radium -> radon -> polonium, where each step is an alpha decay.)

When an isotope in the rock decays a new what is formed?
Surely, this is a question to homework... Yes? Well... I'm not quite sure myself, but I believe a new element is formed.
What two elements did Marie Curie discover?
Radium is a chemical element Polonium is a chemical element Those two were discovered by Marie Curie
What type of experiments did Marie curie conduct?
she made a new element. the element was radium. radium is used in matirials such as lipstick!!!!!!!! She found the isolation of poloniam and radium and used radium for x-rays which helped in a war.
What element does radium become once it has decayed?
Radium undergoes radioactive decay, specifically alpha decay, to become radon. Radium-226 (226Ra) will undergo alpha decay releasing that alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, to become radon-222 (222Rn).
What is created when chemicals reactions jion atoms togethter?
If atoms of same element combine, we say that element is existing in its real state (or simply a molecule of that element is formed). If two atoms of different elements combine, a compound is formed.

How high would the atomic number of a new element need to be to appear under radium in the periodic table?
Element 118 finishes out period 7 at group 18. Radium is in group 2. So, following the trend, the next element under radium would be element 120.

What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What results in radioactive decay causes loss of one or more protons?
a new element is formed
What new element is then created by a single beta decay of this isotope 239U?
Uranium-239 decays by beta- decay to neptunium-239.
Scientists determine whether the atoms are formed are a new element or a new isotope or a element?
because they are mad
