U-235 emits beta particles as part of typical radioactive decay. When a beta particle is emitted, an electron is emitted and a neutron is converted into a proton.

What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?

The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
