Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of U- 235 to form Xe- 144 and Se- 90 is to be stated. Number of neutrons produced in the reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:Enormous amount of energy is generated in the nuclear fission process. Splitting of radioactive element takes place when it is bombarded with neutron.

To determine:A nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of U- 235 to form Xe- 144 and Se- 90 and number of neutrons produced in the reaction.

All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
