How many protons will uranium have after releasing a beta particle?
It depends on whether the beta decay sequence is beta- or beta+. In beta-, the atom will gain a proton, changing into neptunium. In beta+, the atom will lose a proton, changing into protactinium.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
Do you lose protons why or why not?
no
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
No, an atom cannot gain or lose protons. Protons are the positively charged particles within the nucleus of an atom, and changing the number of protons would change the atom's identity. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons, which affects their charge but not their identity.
What type of ion forms when an atom loses protons?
Atoms NEVER lose protons, just electrons.
When uranium ejects an alpha particle how many protons does the remaining nucleus have?
The atomic transmutation brought about by beta decay will depend on the type of beta decay. In beta minus decay, a neutron will be converted into a proton, and the nucleus will eject an electron. This makes proton count (and atomic number) increase by one and neutron count decrease by one. In beta plus decay, a proton is converted into a neutron and a positron (anti-electron), and this will make proton count (and atomic number) go down by one and neutron count go up by one. A link can be found below for more information.
Is this true atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
i really don't know so can someone answer it that knows
What is lose?
Lose energy is a mix between electrons and protons coming together to create one large explosion "the big bang"...(.)(.)

How many protons and neutrons are in chlorine and sodium'?
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
When an atom decays radioactively does it lose protons?
There are various different forms of radioactive decay, and there is one which involves the loss of protons by emission of an alpha particle, which is equivalent to a helium nucleus, containing two protons and two neutrons.
