Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nuclide that emits at the end of radioactive decay of uranium $\text{-}\text{238}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Heavy atoms have unstable nuclei. Due to which they are radioactive and disintegrates into smaller nuclei. The decay of radioactive nuclei occurs by various types of processes such as alpha particle emission, beta-particle emission, positron decay, gamma decay, and electron capture.
