When a beta particle is emitted a neutron changes to a proton in the nucleus. Thus the molecule would have one more proton, so would be an isotope of nitrogen.

Beta Particle
Radioactive decay; beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
U-235 emits beta particles as part of typical radioactive decay. When a beta particle is emitted, an electron is emitted and a neutron is converted into a proton.

When a nucleus emits a beta particle, it loses one of its neutrons and gains one proton. Hence, it's mass and atomic number remain the same but its charge and What_happens_to_a_nucleus_when_it_emits_a_beta_particlenumber is increased by +1.
A beta particle is produced in a process called beta decay, in which a neutron becomes a proton or vise versa. There are two forms of beta decay:normal beta decay - a neutron becomes a proton, a beta particle (i.e. electron) and an antineutrinoantibeta decay - a proton becomes a neutron, an antibeta particle (i.e. positron) and a neutrino
An example of beta decay for a thorium isotope: Th-231(beta)Pa-231.
