Question

A little stuck in science,

When an atom gives off a (an) _____, it becomes an atom with an atomic number of two less.

Answer 1

@iPwnBunnies , do you know?

Answer 2

It's not possible (I think), but if an atom gives away 2 protons, its atomic number goes down 2 as well. The atomic number of an element tells you how many protons an atom of that element has.
