Explanation:

235 U92 + 1n0 --> A + B + 3 1n0

when A = ;

(a) xenon-133

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 133 -3 = 100

Atomic number = 92 - 54 = 38

Element = Sr - Strontium

(b) barium-144

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 144 -3 = 89

Atomic number = 92 - 56 = 36

Element = Kr - Krypton

(c) cesium-143

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 143 -3 = 90

Atomic number = 92 - 55 = 37

Element = Rb - Rubidium

(d) tellurium-137

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 137 -3 = 96

Atomic number = 92 - 52 = 40

Element = Zr - Zirconium

(e) lanthanum-146

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 146 -3 = 87

Atomic number = 92 - 57 = 35

Element = Br - Bromine

Why are greenhouse gases important?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases keep our planet livable by holding onto some of Earth's heat energy so that it doesn't all escape into space. This heat trapping is known as the greenhouse effect. Just as too little greenhouse gas makes Earth too cold, too much greenhouse gas makes Earth too warm.
