Answer:

A [tex]\beta[/tex] particle is a high energy electron

Explanation:

[tex]\beta[/tex] particle :

The energy and speed of the  [tex]\beta[/tex] particle is very high.

Beta particles are emitted by the radioactive decay of the atomic nucleolus.

When an electron is emitted then it is denoted by [tex]\beta ^-[/tex] and when a positron is emitted then it is denoted by  [tex]\beta ^+[/tex]

The energy of the [tex]\beta[/tex]  particles is very high
