We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.
Usually with the '4 types of radiation' it is referred to:- alpha radiation (emission of an alpha particle = a helium nucleus = 2 neutrons + 2 protons):Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number by 2.- beta-minus radiation (emission of a beta- particle = an electron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number increases by 1 (a neutron decays into a proton and beta- radiation)- beta-plus radiation (emission of a beta+ particle = a positron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number decreases by 1 (under the addition of energy a proton decays into a neutron and a positron)- gamma radiation (emission of high energetic photons)The emitting nucleus doesn't change its mass number and atomic number,but it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
There is no change in atomic number with the emission of gamma radiation. Unlike alpha or beta radiation, it does not have any kind of particles. It's emission results only when an excited nuclei goes to an unexcited state by emitting these.
Gamma radiation is not typically listed in the breakdown of uranium because it is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted during radioactive decay of unstable atomic nuclei, rather than a specific component of uranium itself. The breakdown of uranium usually focuses on the types of particles emitted, such as alpha and beta particles.
It is called beta decay. there are two types: 1) posive beta decay in which atomic number decreases. 2) negative beta decay in which atomic number increases.
The main ingredient in thallium is the chemical element thallium, which is a soft, malleable metal with atomic number 81. It is commonly used in electronic devices, as well as in some types of medical imaging and radiation therapy.

Atomic Mass minus atomic number
Only one type of atom have atomic number 26, which is iron, Fe. The atomic number is unique to each element and is the number of protons in the atomic nuclei of that element. The number of protons identifies an element.
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
The radiation in the atomic bomb can cause all types of cancers. Skin cancer proboly being the most prevalent.
A gamma ray is released from atomic nuclei under certain conditions, and the generation of a gamma ray photon alonewill not change the mass of an atomic nucleus. The gamma ray is a form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms of radiation released from nuclei are particulate, and the particles released take mass from the nucleus with them when they go. Beta radiation takes a little, and alpha radiation takes a lot more.

Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.
Europium is a meta element. Atomic number of it is 63.
