A sodium-24 (Na-24) atom has atomic number 11 and mass 24, while a magnesium (Mg) atom has atomic number 12 and mass 24. Therefore the only change is that a particle with (-1) atomic number and (0) mass must have been released by Na-24 to get Mg-24.
This description fits a beta particle, which has a (-1) atomic number and (0) mass.
