How can element 92 become element 93?
It happens when a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of the atom of element 92. Beta Particle is emitted when a neutron is converted to a proton.So atomic number that is , the no of protons increases by 1. Hence 92 becomes 93.
What happens to the atomic number when an alpha particle is given off?
Alpha emission in an atom reduces its atomic number by two. A link can be found below to the related question about what alpha decay is.
What happens to atomic radius as you move from bottom to top of the periodic table?
atomic radius decreases from bottom to top of the periodic table.
Why is it that the electronegativity decreases when the atomic radius increases?
Four
What kind of radiation is emitted when polonium decays to astatine?
Polonium, which has an atomic number of 84, decays to astatine, which has an atomic number of 85, a negative beta particle is emitted.
When a beta particle is emitted does the mass number of the isotope remains unchanged?
With the ejection of a beta particle (electron), there is a minute loss of mass. Electrons have very low mass. The atomic number increases though as a neutron is transformed into a proton. A antineutrino is also ejected. In a similar process, positron emission also called beta decay,- a positron is emitted and a proton is transformed into a neutron, the atomic number decreases. A neutrino is also ejected.

When moving left to right across the periodic table the atomic number increases and the atomic radius?
The atomic radius decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom
What particle will be emitted probably by an isotope with an atomic number greater than 83?
An Alpha particle

What happen to atomic number and mass number of nucleus when it emits alpha particle electron and proton?
It's been awhile for me, but this is how I remember it. It is not convenient for me to look it up right at the moment, so you may want to verify this. Emitting an alpha particle (2 proton 2 neutron), atomic number would decrease by 2 and atomic mass decreases by 4.Electron emission means a neutron turns into a proton and electron, but the electron shoots out. The atomic number increases by 1 and atomic mass stays the same. Proton emission, well it loses a proton. So the atomic number decreases and mass decreases.
What changes take place in the nucleus when an alpha particle is emitted?
In short, alpha radiation occurs when an unstable nucleus emits 2 protons and 2 neutrons from it's nucleus. This means that the atomic number decreases by 2 and the nucleon number decreases by 4.
What happens to atomic radius as you move from bottom to top of the periodic table?
atomic radius decreases from bottom to top of the periodic table.
What kind of radiation is emitted when polonium decays to astatine?

Why does the atomic radius decreases as the atomic number increases?
The atomic radius decreases as the atomic number increases due to the fact that there is now a greater quantity of protons in the nucleus emitting greater intramolecular force, pulling the electrons closer towards it. This, thus, decreases the radius.
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same?
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same after the emission of a beta particle by a radioactive atom.
