Beta Particles. Beta (β −) particles are high energy electrons emitted from the nucleus. β − particles are emitted by nuclei that have too many neutrons; Beta is a moderately ionising type of radiation . This is due to it having a charge of +1e; This means it is able to do some slight damage to cells (less than alpha but more than gamma)
