Fuel used in nuclear fission is U-235. In the process, neutron particle is used to split U-235 into 3 neutron particle, Kr-92 and Ba-141. In order for Ba-141 to become stable, it must undergo 3 simultaneous beta decay. And for Kr-92, it undergoes beta decay with 1 extra neutron emitted and then the daughter element will be subjected to 3 simultaneous beta decay to finally be stable. Separately identify the final stable element for Ba-141 and Kr-92 reactions. Show complete balance reaction
