What is the difference between the decay particles of 92235U{ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}92235U and 92238U{ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}92238U ?
A) Only emits beta as well as alpha particles. 92235U{ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}92235U
B) Only emits beta as well as alpha particles. 92238U{ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}92238U
C) Only emits gamma radiation. 92235U{ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}92235U
D) There is no difference; both emit alpha particles.
