In chemistry, a parent element is a radioactive element that undergoes decay to form a different element known as the daughter element. The parent element gives rise to the daughter element as a result of radioactive decay processes such as alpha decay, beta decay, or electron capture. The daughter element has a different number of protons and atomic number compared to the parent element.
The term for the element that a radioactive isotope decays into is called the "daughter product". During radioactive decay, the original isotope transforms into a different element or isotope through a series of decay reactions.

In alpha decay, the parent element releases an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The daughter element formed has an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less than the parent element. In beta decay, the parent element undergoes a transformation where a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. The daughter element formed has an atomic number 1 more than the parent element.

The daughter element produced from the alpha decay of ^217_87 Fr is ^213_85 At (Astatine). In alpha decay, the parent atom loses an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons), resulting in the transformation into a new element with a lower atomic number.
The alpha decay of americium-241 produce neptunium-237.

The stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called a daughter isotope.
No. In both the cases the element would definitely change. As alpha particle comes out then the new element would have two less in atomic number where as in beta particle decay the new element will have one higher in atomic number.
Decay products of ununpentium are ununtrium isotopes.
