Radium - 228.
If an atom of thorium loses 2 protons, it would turn into an atom of protactinium. Thorium has an atomic number of 90, so losing 2 protons would change it to an atomic number of 88, which is protactinium.
The element with 45 protons is Rhodium which has the chemical symbol Rh. Rhodium is a transition metal in Group 9, Period 5 of the Periodic Table. Rhodium has 45 electrons in 5 shells with 1 electron in the outer shell.
If you add 3 protons to lithium (which has 3 protons), you would create an element with 6 protons, which is carbon on the periodic table.

Thorium has an atomic number of 90, or in other words, 90 protons in its nucleus. The mass number or the identification of the -232 isotope with its 142 neutrons is a red herring - in isotopy the number of neutrons may vary but the atomic number or the count of protons is the same. If the atomic number varied from 90 it would by definition no longer be thorium.

Well what element are you starting out with?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
If two protons and two neutrons are removed from a uranium nucleus, the new element is thorium. The isotope cannot be determined because the identity of the uranium isotope was not given.
Any element with 7 protons would be Nitrogen

The most common isotope of plutonium is Pu-239. Ejecting four protons and four neutrons would reduce the atomic number from 94 to 90 and the mass number from 239 to 231. Element #90 is Thorium, so the answer would be Thorium-231. However, that is not an actual decay mode for Pu-239. Pu-239 decays by emitting an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) to Uranium-235. U-235 can then further decay by emitting another alpha particle to form Th-231.

The change described is nuclear transmutation. We see this with beta decay, which is a form or radioactive decay. Use the link below to the related question to check it out and lean more.These are known as isotopes.
An ionic bond can form between an element with 11 protons (sodium) and an element with 17 protons (chlorine) to create sodium chloride (table salt). Sodium will donate an electron to chlorine, resulting in a stable arrangement of electronic configuration in both atoms.
