Answer 1

Answer:

Value of a is 92-36=56 and value of b is 236-147=89.

Explanation:

Since an element X undergoing fission rean having atomic no=no.of protons =92 and mass no. =no. of nucleons =236 should break into elements having charges balanced according to conservation of charges.

Hence ,

Mass no of X=mass no. of Y+mass no.of Z +3(mass no. of neutron)

=>236=144+b+3×1

=>236-147=b

=>89=b

No. of protons =no . of protons of Y+no. of protons of Z +3(no. of protons )

=>92=a+36+3×0

=>92-36=a

=>56=a

Hence a=56 and b=89.
