In quantum matter, all things in the world are made up of even smaller particles than the atom. These are called the subatomic particles: neutron, proton and electron. A beta particle is simply an electron. It is an electromagnetic particle or wave. Electromagnetic particles are high-energy particles that are emitted by the atom during radioactive decay. Since it is an electron, its charge must be -1 and it must come from outside the nucleus of the atom. From the choices, the answers would be:
<span>is electromagnetic energy </span><span>has a -1 charge</span>
