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:

Consider the following radioactive decay process:
${ }_{84}^{218} A \stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} A_1 \stackrel{\beta^{-}}{\longrightarrow} A_2 \stackrel{\gamma}{\longrightarrow} A_3 \stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} A_4 \stackrel{\beta^{+}}{\longrightarrow} A_5 \stackrel{\gamma}{\longrightarrow} A_6$
The mass number and the atomic number of $A_6$ are given by:

In the uranium radioactive series,the initial nucleus is $_{92}U^{238}$ and the final nucleus is $_{82}Pb^{206}$. When the uranium nucleus decays to lead,the number of $\alpha$-particles emitted is $x$ and the number of $\beta$-particles emitted is $y$. Find $x$ and $y$.
