Beta positive decay would decrease the atomic number by one.
The mass number of an element decreases by 4 when it decays by ejecting an alpha particle. This is because an alpha particle has a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2. The atomic number of the element also decreases by 2.
The mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2 after alpha decay. This is because an alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, which are emitted during the decay process.
Alpha emission in an atom reduces its atomic number by two. A link can be found below to the related question about what alpha decay is.
Atomic number = Number of protons
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element.

Atomic number = Number of protons
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element.
Argon is a gas element. atomic number of it is 18.
The atomic number of the element with the symbol Be (Beryllium) is 4.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the atomic nuclei of the atoms of an element.
The element with the highest atomic number is Oganesson, with the atomic number 118.
In alpha decay, the parent element (nucleus) emits an alpha particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The daughter element is formed by subtracting the alpha particle from the parent element's atomic number and mass number. The daughter element is often located two positions to the left on the periodic table compared to the parent element.
An element's atomic number is the # of protons in its nucleus.
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.
