How does the nucleus of an atom change after beta decay?

princessangel:

"after the radioactive beta decay the new atom is Nitrogen 14 with 7 protons 7 neutrons and an atomic mass of 14 Beta decay changes the atomic number of the nucleus by increasing the number of protons, by decreasing the number of neutrons while leaving the atomic mass essentially the same." - Bing

imbadkidjenna:

I see the word decay. and decay means to rot or decompose. so it can either lose a neutron or lose a proton
