<u>Answer</u>:

When Uranium-238 decays, it emits 8 Alpha particles and 6 beta particles before finally becoming the stable daughter product. The atomic number and mass number of the daughter product ​is 92 and 234 respectively.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the process of decay of Uranium-238, it emits alpha particles, and the resultant product is Thorium-234, which turns into Protactinium-234, and this Protactinium-234 undergoes the beta decay to form the Uranium-234.

As per the question, a stable daughter product is created after the emission of alpha and beta particles, this implies that Uranium-234 is a stable product after the decay of Uranium-238. Therefore, the atomic number is 92 (number of protons) and the mass number is 234 (protons+neutrons) which is also the element of the naming.
