It depends on whether the beta decay is beta- or beta+.

The alpha emission reduces the atomic number by 2. Beta- increases the atomic number by 1 while beta+ decreases the atomic number by 1. You do the math.

The smallest part of an element that act like an element?

The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.


What of these subatomic particles are represented by atomic number?

Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.


Is carbon a subatomic particle?

No, carbon is not a subatomic particle. Carbon is an element, specifically a chemical element with the symbol "C" and atomic number 6, meaning it has 6 protons in its nucleus. Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What is the name of the smallest paricle of an element that has the properties of that element?

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. The atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element. No Sub-Atomic Particles have any characterisitics of an element. It is the collective arrangement of electrons and protons (and usually neutrons) which gives an element its characteristics. An atom is the smallest particle that has elemental characteristics.


What happend to the atomic number of an element which emits alpha particle and two beta particle?

THe atomic number would decrease by 2 as alpha particle comes out. But for two beta particles the atomic number would increase by 2. So the atomic number remains unchanged due to emission of one alpha followed by 2 beta particles.


What subatomic particle is related the atomic number of an element?

Which particle determines the atomic number of an element?

The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.


Is sodium a subatomic particle?

No, sodium is not a subatomic particle. Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. Subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What are called Atomic particles that have a positive electrical charge?

What is the smallest amount of an element that still retains the characteristic of that element?

The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.


What is the smallest unit of an element that still can be identifled as a specific element?
