protons
Iron (symbol Fe, atomic number 26) is subject to corrosion.
It would be actinium with 89 protons and a mass of 230.
The mass number does not change.
The answer is D. All of these change.

If a radioactive isotope undergoes beta emission, a. The atomic number changes B. the number of neutrons remains constant c. The mass number changes d. The todo isotope loses and electron
93
Yes, it is. The type of atom is defined by the atomic number. Usually, when an atom undergoes a chemical reaction, only the sharing/possession of electrons changes, and the number of protons (and so the atomic number of the element) stays the same. When an atom somehow undergoes a nuclear reaction, which is possible, the number of protons sometimes do change, but in that case the atomic number (and thus the element type) becomes different as well.
It is 90.
Atomic number becomes two units less and atomic mass four units less. Bismuth is the answer.
nothing, but another isotope with the same atomic mass is formed
It would be actinium with 89 protons and a mass of 230.
The atomic number of an atom undergoing alpha decay decreases by 2. Not asked, but answered for completeness, the atomic mass number decreases by 4.
The mass number does not change.
The answer is D. All of these change.
