Answer

${}^{140}I,\;{}^{235}Mo,\;{}^{235}Nd,\;{}^{128}In,\;{}^{115}Pd$

Work Step by Step

The given e fission reaction is ${}^{235}U+n\rightarrow X+Y+2n$ The Figure 43-1 of he book shows the distribution by mass number of the fragments that are found when many fission events of ${}^{235}U$ are examined. From the figure, we can rank the given possibilities for $X$ (or $Y$), most likely first. The rank for $X$ (or $Y$) is: ${}^{140}I,\;{}^{235}Mo,\;{}^{235}Nd,\;{}^{128}In,\;{}^{115}Pd$
