It's all quite simple.
The electron is a subatomic particle carrying a negative electric charge. It has no known components or substructure, and therefore is believed to be an elementary particle.[2] An electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.
The positron or antielectron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron. The positron has an electric charge of +1e, a spin of 1⁄2, and the same mass as an electron.

What does beta decay release?
Beta radiation, which consists either of electrons or of anti-electrons (positrons).
Why are beta particles different from cathode ray particles?
Beta particles can be electrons (beta-) or positrons (beta+), along with electron antineutrinos (beta-) or electron neutrinos (beta+). Cathode ray particles are just electrons. Since neutrinos have no charge, they do not interact well with matter. As a result, the electrons from beta- decay are nearly indistinguishable from the electrons in cathode rays, with the possible exception of their velocity.
Do electrons attract positrons and vice versa?
Yes. And when this occurs, they will collide and annihilate one another.
What denotes the positively charged particles in the atom's nucleus protons electrons positrons neutrons?
Protons
What atomic particle interacts between atoms to form a chemical bond?
Electrons. (Or positrons if you're talking about antimatter)
What are e- and e plus plus particles?
That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).
The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?
The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.
What is beta radiation made from?
Electrons or positrons.
What has the author Ann T Nelms written?
Ann T. Nelms has written: 'Energy loss and range of electrons and positrons' -- subject(s): Electrons, Positrons
Electrons negative charge?
Yes and positrons are positive!
Does beta decay produce particles?
Yes, electrons and positrons.
What does beta decay release?
Beta radiation, which consists either of electrons or of anti-electrons (positrons).
What is elctricity a movement of?
Electricity if the movement of electrons in matter, or positrons in antimatter.
