If you have a material that emitts Beta particles there is nothing that will effect that process. However, once the Betas are emitted you can block them with Aluminum or most anything else. How many you block will depend on how fast the Betas are going and how thick your blocking material is.

What is the beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
A beta particle is formed in the nucleus of an isotope due to the?
Radioactive decay; beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted
When magnesium-28 undergoes beta decay what is the identity and the mass number of the nucleus formed?
After the beta decay of the isotope magnesium-28 the isotope aluminium-28 is formed. 28Al has 13 protons and 15 neutrons - the mass number is 28.
Are beta emission and beta decay the same?
There is a difference between beta emitters and beta particles. In situations where an atomic nucleus exhibits nuclear instability due to too many neutrons for the number of protons or vice versa, that nucleus may undergo beta decay. It the decay event occurs, that atom is considered a beta emitter. The emitted particle is the beta particle. That's the difference. (There are two different beta particles, so check the articles on beta decay to get the scoop.)
Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?
because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.
When magnesium -28 undergoes beta decay what is the identity mass number of the nucleus formed?
aluminum-28
What are three types of beta decay?
There are two types of beta decay, and they are beta plus (beta +) decay and beta minus (beta -) decay. A post already exists on beta decay, and a link to that related question can be found below.
What is the beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
Disintegration of a nucleus with the emission of an electron is known as what type of decay?
beta
Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
How do you figure out beta decay of molecule?
Beta decay is a property of atoms not molecules.

Will electrons will be emitted in a radioactive decay?
It does not usually involve the atom's electrons, except for a type of decay called K capture. But the beta particles ejected in what is called beta decay are either electrons or positrons.
Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?
because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.
