1. What is the mass number of the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (B-) decay?

2. What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (B-) decay have?

Answer :

In beta-minus decay, a negative electron is emitted which produces a daughter nucleus of one higher atomic number but mass number remains the same.
For example:
The decay of the uranium product produces thorium-234 into protactinium -234.
I hope it helped.
