    The nuclear fission reaction is

    ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n → ¹⁴⁰₅₆Ba + ᵃzX + 3 ¹₀ n

    First we must balance all the protons:

    92 + 0 = 56 + z + 3 (0)

    z = 36

    Next, we balance the nucleons (protons and neutrons)

    235 + 1 = 140 + a + 3*1

    a = 91

    An atomic number of 36 is Krypton so, X is ⁹¹₃₆Kr.
