The matter is going to have to be in a <em>plasma </em>state! =)
The answer to the question is false
A beta particle is an electron and it has a -1 charge and zero mass.
Beta decay by
emitting an electron is called as β⁻
decay. When this happens, a neutron of the element converts into a proton by
emitting an electron. Hence, the mass of daughter nucleus is same as parent
atom but atomic number/number of protons is higher by 1 than atomic number of
parent atom.
In a β⁻ decay, the symbol is used as ₋₁⁰β or ₋₁⁰e.
-1 is for charge
<span> 0 is for the mass of the particle

The answer is: a relatively large electron cloud.
Atom is composed of the nucleus and the electron cloud.
Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) are in the nucleus of an atom and electrons (negative particles) are in the electron cloud.
Nucleus is in the centar of the atom atom and electron cloud is surrounding it.
Atoms have their mass concentrated in a very small nucleus.
