What is the daughter nucleus produced when 59cu undergoes positron emission?



The daughter nuclide formed when copper undergo positron emission is nickel, with atomic number z= 28.
let us show the work 


63 29Cu +10 e + 63 28
In this decay , the a proton in the nucleus of copper changes to a neutron, a positron is emitted, the atomic number reduces by one why the atomic mass remain unchanged.
