Expert Solution
Step 1
The process in which nucleus of an atom is divided into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei is known as nuclear fission.
Step 2
The given equation is shown below:
Step 3
The atomic numbers on both sides of the equation must be equal as shown below:
92 + 0 = 56 + Z + 3 (0)
Z = 92 – 56
Z = 36
Step 4
Therefore, the atomic number of X is 36
According to periodic table; the atom which has 36 atomic number is krypton and symbol of that atom is Kr
