nuclear fission

When Uranium is bombarded with neutron, Barium and __________ are formed with evolution of huge amount of energy.

Krypton

In the nuclear fission of Uranium, the reaction equation is ${}_{92}^{235}\text{U} + {}_{0}^{1}\text{n} \rightarrow [{}_{92}^{236}\text{U}]^* \rightarrow {}_{56}^{141}\text{Ba} + {}_{36}^{92}\text{Kr} + 3{}_{0}^{1}\text{n} + \text{energy}$, where the intermediate element ${}_{92}^{236}\text{U}$ is __________ .

unstable

In the nuclear fission equation of Uranium, ${}_{92}^{235}\text{U} + {}_{0}^{1}\text{n} \rightarrow [{}_{92}^{236}\text{U}]^* \rightarrow {}_{56}^{141}\text{Ba} + {}_{36}^{92}\text{Kr} + \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} + \text{energy}$.
