Whwn an alpha particle is lost we lose 2units of +ve charges and 4 units of mass no.
So we are left with mass no.(M-4) and charge (C-2)
M=initial mass no.
C=initial charge
Here 1 unit of charge used is= 1*1.6*10^-19 coulomb
The number in a nuclear chemical symbol represents the charge of the particle is the atomic number or the number of protons in the nucleus.
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus, the nucleus gains one unit of positive charge as it transforms a neutron into a proton. This results in an increase in the atomic number of the atom while the mass number remains the same.
The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It has a positive electrical charge and is roughly 1,836 times more massive than an electron. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and chemical properties.
When a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle, it decreases by two protons and two neutrons. This results in a new nucleus with a lower atomic number by 2 and lower mass number by 4. The emitted alpha particle is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) and carries a positive charge.

A positively charged particle in the nucleus is a proton. Protons have a positive electrical charge and are responsible for determining the atomic number of an atom.

You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.
The beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the number of protons increases, causing an increase in the charge of the nucleus by 1, and a very tiny decrease in mass.
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It has a positive electrical charge and is roughly 1,836 times more massive than an electron. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and chemical properties.
A unionized particle of an element refers to an atom that has not gained or lost any electrons, thus maintaining a neutral charge. This means the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
When a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle, it decreases by two protons and two neutrons. This results in a new nucleus with a lower atomic number by 2 and lower mass number by 4. The emitted alpha particle is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) and carries a positive charge.
the protons
Protons determine the nuclear charge of an atom. Each proton carries a positive charge and is located in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and therefore its nuclear charge.
An element's atomic number is a count of how many protons are normally part of the element's nucleus. Since protons are normally the only particle in the nucleus with a charge (+), the atomic number also represents the charge of the nucleus.
