AI Generated Solution

To determine the unknown product formed when a uranium-235 nucleus is struck by a neutron, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the nuclear reaction The reaction can be represented as: \[ _{92}^{235}\text{U} + n \rightarrow _{56}^{145}\text{Ba} + 3n + X \] where \(X\) is the unknown product. ...
