$_{86}A^{222} \to _{84}B^{210}$. In this reaction,how many $\alpha$ and $\beta$ particles are emitted?

In the given nuclear reaction,$A, B, C, D, E$ represent:
$_{92}U^{238} \xrightarrow{\alpha} _{B}Th^{A} \xrightarrow{\beta} _{D}Pa^{C} \xrightarrow{E} _{92}U^{234}$

Find the $Q$-value and the kinetic energy of the emitted $\alpha$-particle in the $\alpha$-decay of $(a) \; ^{226}_{88} Ra$ and $(b) \; ^{220}_{86} Rn$.
Given:
$m(^{226}_{88} Ra) = 226.02540 \; u$
$m(^{222}_{86} Rn) = 222.01750 \; u$
$m(^{220}_{86} Rn) = 220.01137 \; u$
$m(^{216}_{84} Po) = 216.00189 \; u$
$m(^{4}_{2} He) = 4.002603 \; u$

$A$ nucleus with mass number $220$ is initially at rest. It emits an $\alpha$-particle. If the $Q$-value of the reaction is $5.5 \, MeV$,then the kinetic energy of the $\alpha$-particle will be .......... $MeV$.
