The ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ atom disintegrates to ${ }_{84}^{214} Po$ with a half-life of $4.5 \times 10^9$ years by emitting $6$ $\alpha$-particles and $n$ electrons. Here,$n$ is:

Before the neutrino hypothesis,the beta decay process was thought to be the transition $n \to p + e^-$. If this were true,show that if the neutron was at rest,the proton and electron would emerge with fixed energies and calculate them. Experimentally,the electron energy was found to have a large range.
