Which element is in Group 17 and has more than 50 protons but less than 75 protons?

Iodine

Explanation:

Iodine is in group 17 on the periodic table (first picture attached). The second picture shows you in the top left-hand corner of Iodine's little square, there is the number 53. This is the atomic number, it is also the number of protons and electrons in an element.

Hope this helped :)

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
