in this 235 92u+10n→azsr+143 54xe+310n find the the atomic and mass number for this reaction?



let me rewrite the equation 235 92U+10n→AZSr+14354Xe+310n
the mass and charge must be balanced
for the masses 235 + 1 →  A + 143 + 3
236 →  A + 147
A → 236-147 →  89
the nuclear charge is  therefore
92 → z +54
z → 92-54→ 38
 therefore the atomic number correspond to strontium and the isotope is strontium-89
