Answer
7 alpha particles and 4 beta particles are emitted.
Work Step by Step
The mass number decreases by 4 when an alpha particle is emitted and it doesn't change when beta particles are emitted.
The change in mass number $\Delta A=207-235=-28$
A total of 7 (28/4) alpha particles must be emitted to balance the mass numbers.
When an alpha particle is emitted, the atomic number decreases by two. When a beta particle is emitted, the atomic number increases by one.
Therefore, we have
$\Delta Z=$number of $\beta$-(2$\times$number of $\alpha$)=$82-92=-10$
$\implies$ number of $\beta$ particles emitted= $-10+(2\times7)=4$
