Alpha decay happens when a radioactive atom emits a particle with two protons and two neutrons. Berkelium, with an atomic number of 97, has 97 protons. So when berkelium under â¦ goes alpha decay, it loses two protons, and becomes an atom with 95 protons, atomic number 95, which is americium.Since a total of four nucleons are emitted in the process, the isotope number is four less then what the original atom had.erkelium, with an atomic number of 97, has 97 protons.
