That's a very vague question, but if it's the theory you're after;
If a nucleus is heavy (>82 protons, generally at A2 level) it will emit an alpha particle. For example,
238U --> 234Th + 4α + 0νe
_92______76___ 2___0
In this emission, Uranium-238 is the parent nucleus. It emits an alpha particle, which has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Thallium-234 is the daughter nucleus. The other thing is a neutrino. It is a lepton, and is there to balance the lepton number.
Apologies for the big black line, but it's the only way I could get wikians to play nicely.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of naturally occurring radioactivity results in an increase in the atomic number of an atom?
Beta decay is the type of naturally occurring radioactivity that results in an increase in the atomic number of an atom. During this process, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron or positron) in the process. This transformation increases the atomic number by one, resulting in the formation of a new element.
What is the term for the value that indicates the number of protons for an atom of a given element?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element.
What does the atomic number of an element tell you about the element?
Atomic number = Number of protons

What is the element of a atomic number element?
The atomic number of an Element refers to it's position in The Periodic Table. The first element (Hydrogen - H) has the atomic number 1. The second element (Helium - He) has the atomic number 2. The fifty-second element (Tellurium - Te) has the atomic number 52. And so on.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element.
Does the atomic no of an element change when its atom get converted into cations or anions?
No, the atomic number of an element does not change when its atom gets converted into cations or anions. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which remains the same during the formation of cations or anions.
What does the atomic number of an element tell you about the element?
Atomic number = Number of protons
