Answer:

The product of emission of beta particle from uranium 238 will be Uranium 239

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two type of beta decay

β− decay and β+ decay

Let us assume here the decay is β− decay for Uranium 238

Uranium 238 will decay β− to produce Uranium 239

Hence, the product of emission of beta particle from uranium 238 will be Uranium 239
