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:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

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
