How many `alpha` and `beta`-particles are emitted when uranium nucleus `(._(92)U^(238))` decay to `._(82)Pb^(214)`?

Explanation

To determine how many alpha and beta particles are emitted when a uranium nucleus \(_{92}^{238}\text{U}\) decays to \(_{82}^{214}\text{Pb}\), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the decay equation
The decay of uranium can be represented as:
\[ _{92}^{238}\text{U} \rightarrow _{82}^{214}\text{Pb} + N \, \alpha + M \, \beta \]
where \(N\) is the number of alpha particles emitted and \(M\) is the number of beta particles emitted.
