==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
[[Beta-Minus Radiation|Beta-minus radiation]] consists of [[electron]]s (β⁻) [[emit]]ted by [[Unstable Nucleus|unstable]] [[neutron-rich]] [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]].
===About Beta-Minus Radiation===
*Stopped by about 5 mm of [[aluminium]].
*Has a range in air of up to a [[metre]].
*Less ionizing than [[Alpha Radiation|alpha radiation]] but more ionizing than [[Gamma Radiation|gamma radiation]].
*Results from [[neutron]] to [[proton]] conversion in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
===Examples===
*Used in medical diagnostics and treatments.
*Employed in the study of [[Beta Decay|beta decay]] processes in [[Nuclear Physics|nuclear physics]].
