I would think that the answer would be three

Because of the prefix tri- in "tigonal"

Tri- means 3, as in tricycle or triangle

So, it would make sense for the answer to be 3

Answer:

$\rm_{90}^{231}\text{Th}$

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + X$

Let's write X as a nuclear symbol.

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + _{Z}^{A}\text{X}$

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the reaction arrow.

Then

235 = 4 + A , so A = 235 - 4 = 231, and

92 = 2 + Z , so Z = 92 - 2 = 90

And your nuclear equation becomes

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} +\, _{90}^{231}\text{X}$
