HERE'S UR ANSWER___

In Radioactive emissions of Beta particles, a bound neutrone in the nucleus changes into a Proton inside the nucleus, with the emission of an electron and an anti-nutrieno.

Since mass of a free neutron is more than that of a free proton, a free neutron also decays in a similar fashion, I.e. into a proton, electron and anti-neutrino.

A bound Proton also changes into neutron with the emission of the positron, and a neutrino. It needs to be emphasized that only a bound Proton inside the nucleus, undergoes this conversion, i.e into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.

So although electrons are not present in the nucleus, these are spontaneously created at the time of decay and are emitted.

Inside the nucleus one neutron changes into one proton and one electron. The electrons come out causing β-emission & proton remains inside the nucleus.
