In a β−-decay, **the daughter nuclide has one more proton and one less neutron than the parent nuclide**.
This process involves a neutron in the parent nucleus converting into a proton and an electron (the beta particle) being emitted. As a result, the atomic number of the daughter nuclide increases by one, while the mass number remains the same.
