In a particular fission reaction, a `._92U^(235)` nucleus captures a slow neutron. The fission products are three neutrons, a `._57La^(142)` nucleus and a fission product `._ZX^A`. What is the value of Z?
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Applying the principal of conservation of charge number. `Z+57=92 :. Z=92-57=35.`
