In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.

Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
What type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation
Does beta radiation have a helium nuleus?
A stream of helium nuclei is alpha radiation. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons.
How do electrons from beta particles emission differ from electrons in a normal atoms?
The energy is different.
What does beta decay release?
Beta radiation, which consists either of electrons or of anti-electrons (positrons).
Are all the radiations are electro magnetic radiations?
No, not all radiation is electromagnetic radiation, though some is. Exceptions: Neutron radiation - Emission of neutrons. Alpha decay - Emission of a helium-4 nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). Beta radiation - Emission of electrons.
Emission of gamma rays does not change the atomic number of a nucleus?
no, gamma rays are very high frequency electromagnetic radiation and are not protons or electrons as alpha and beta radiation are respectively.
What actually decays in radioactive decay?
The nucleus of the atom decays, and in the process, the nucleus transforms into another element, or into an isotope or isomer of the same element. In radioactive decay, the nucleus always emits some kind of particle(s). It is the high-energy emission of these particles that we call radiation. There are many different types of radioactive decay:Alpha decay results in the emission of an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons)Beta decay results in the emission of a beta particle (an electron or a positron)Neutron decay results in the emission of a neutronProton decay results in the emission of a protonGamma decay results in the emission of a gamma particle (a photon)Neutrino decay results in the emission of a neutrino or antineutrinoIn some cases, a combination of the above emissions takes place. For example in double beta decay, a single nucleus emits two electrons and two antineutrinos in the same event.
Which form of radiation is the same as an electron?
Beta minus radiation is a stream of electrons.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
What type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation

What does beta decay release?
Beta radiation, which consists either of electrons or of anti-electrons (positrons).
What is beta radiation made from?
Electrons or positrons.
The emission of a positron also results in the creation of?
If you are talking about beta+ decay, then the emission of a positron is accompanied with the emission of an electron neutrino.
What radioactive emission is not a particle?
Gamma rays are not particles, but highly-ionizing electromagnetic radiation of a very short wavelength.The other major atomic "radiation" is in the form of alpha particles (He nuclei) or beta particles (electrons, or positrons).
