Question

state any three characteristics of beta rays

Answer 1

Beta minus particles (β-) are Electro's from the nucleus and are ejected by some radionuclides during a form of radioactivedecay called beta-decay. The emission of the electron's antiparticle, the positron or beta plus particle (β+), is also called beta decay. Beta-decay normally occurs in nuclei that have too many neutrons to achieve stability. It occurs commonly in the radioactive products of nuclear fusion and occurs in natural radioactive decay chains following one or more alpha-decays
