Electron is a part of atom. A particle that "orbits" nucleus made out of protons and neutrons. vis: http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/fuel/atom.jpg
Beta radiation is a bunch of beta particles (high energy electron or positron - the anti-electron) created in beta decay. Such as in nuclear reactor.

Hi samar :smile:

"There are two forms of beta decay, β− and β+, which respectively give rise to the electron and the positron."


For more, of course, see the full article! :smile:
