Solution

The correct statements about beta particles are:

  1. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.
  2. A sheet of paper would be sufficient to absorb most beta particles.
  3. Beta particles are faster than alpha particles.

Beta particles are indeed high-energy electrons that are emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei. They are faster and less massive than alpha particles, which allows them to penetrate further into matter. However, they can still be absorbed by a sheet of paper or a few millimeters of a substance like aluminum.
