1)Beta particles 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)Since they have very low mass, beta particles reach mostly relativistic energies.

☆A beta (β)- particle carries 1.6 x 10-19 C of negative charge, which is the charge on an electron.
☆The mass of β-particle is 9.1 x 10-31 kg, which is the same as that of electron.
☆The velocity of β-particles ranges from 33% to 99% of the velocity of light.
☆The β-particles ionize the gas through which they pass, but their ionizing power is only 1/100th that of α-particles.
☆Because of small mass, the penetrating power of β-particles is very large.
☆The β-particles can also produce fluorescence in certain substance like barium-plantinocyanide and zinc sulphide.
☆They affect a photographic plate.
☆They are deflected by electric and magnetic fields, showing that they carry negative charge.
