it goes to oxygen 16 95% of the time, oxygen 17 5% and carbon 13 (2.5x10-5)%%
Nitrogen-17 will undergo negative beta decay (or beta minus decay) to become oxygen-17, which is stable.

Nitrogen-14, by way of beta decay.

There is a difference between beta emitters and beta particles. In situations where an atomic nucleus exhibits nuclear instability due to too many neutrons for the number of protons or vice versa, that nucleus may undergo beta decay. It the decay event occurs, that atom is considered a beta emitter. The emitted particle is the beta particle. That's the difference. (There are two different beta particles, so check the articles on beta decay to get the scoop.)
7N14 is the product of beta- decay of 6C14. Remember, beta- decay involves changing a neutron into a proton, with the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino. The W- boson is an intermediate product of the changing of a down quark to an up quark that is represented by the change of a neutron into a proton, which then decays into the electron and electron antineutrino pair.. In a nutshell, with beta- decay, atomic number goes up by one, and atomic mass number stays the same.
Bismuth-214 produces Polonium-214 by beta- decay. It also produces Thallium-210 by alpha decay, though at a much smaller percentage.
The beta decay product of francium-223 is radium-223.
It depends on which isotope of bismuth we are talking about. Most isotopes less than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta+, and they decay to lead, while most isotopes greater than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta-, and they decay to polonium.There are some isotopes that decay by other mechanisms, such as alpha, but the question asked only about beta.
Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is: 23490Th-----------beta rays-------------23491Pa
The only possible product of the alpha decay of 92238U is 90234Th.
Nitrogen-14, by way of beta decay.
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.

I would assume potassium-42 decays into calcium-42 via beta decay. Potassium-42 --> Calcium-42 + electron
