Solution

  1. These particles originated from atomic nuclei during beta decay.
  2. Electrons are already in the atoms surrounding the atomic nucleus (in the electron cloud).
  3. The main difference between a beta particle and an electron is that a beta particle can have either +1charge or-1charge whereas electron has a -1 charge.
