1.Beta Rays are energetic electrons, they are relatively light and carry a single negative charge .
2.Their mass is equal to the mass of the orbital electrons with which they are interacting and unlike the alpha particle a much larger fraction of its kinetic energy can be lost in a single interaction.
3.Their path is not so straightforward. The beta particles follow a very zig zag path through absorbing material.
4.This resulting path of particle is longer than the linear penetration (range) into the material.Since they have very low mass, beta particles reach mostly relativistic energies.
