What is the mass number of the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (β– ) decay?

OpenStudy (micahm):

β− decay in an atomic nucleus (the accompanying antineutrino is omitted). ... As a result of this transformation, the nucleus emits a detectable beta particle, which ... There are two types of beta decay, known as beta minus and beta plus. ... This new element has an unchanged mass number A but an atomic number Z

. What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (β– ) decay have?

OpenStudy (micahm):

A beta particle (in this case a negative electron) is shown being emitted by a nucleus. ... Unstable atomic nuclei with an excess of protons may undergo β+ decay, also ... Being composed of charged particles, beta radiation is more strongly ... The intense beta radiation from the fuel rods of pool-type reactors
