When an atom emits a beta
particle from the nucleus, the nucleus only has one more proton and one less
neutron and this will make the atomic mass number remains unchanged while the
atomic number increases by 1.

Answer:
Dalton's atomic theory has been modified as
Explanation:
Atoms of same element may not have same atomic mass. For example, some atoms of chlorine have atomic mass 35 amu while others have atomic mass 37 amu. Such atoms of same element having different atomic masses are called isotopes
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an element while an atomic number is the number of protons in the element.
Answer:
Oxygen is composed of three isotopes: oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 and has an average atomic mass of 15.9980 amu. Oxygen-17 has a mass of 16.992 amu and makes up 0.035% of oxygen. Oxygen-16 has a mass of 15.982 amu and Oxygen-18 has a mass of 17.984 amu.
