When a beta particle is released, the atom's mass remains approximately the same because it loses an electron, which has such a small mass in comparison to the whole atom that it is negligible.
When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
