Answer:

X = U (Uranium)

Explanation:

Pu-->235/92 U + 4/2 He

The element X which is involved in the given nuclear reaction is ²³⁵₉₂U.

What is radio active decay?

Radio active decay is a process in which an unstable nuclei will emit some particles from the nuclei in the form of energy to get stability.

In the given chemical reaction, parent nuclei (²³⁹₉₄Pu) will emit the alpha particle (⁴₂He) which has a atomic number 2 and atomic mass of 4 as a result of which we get a daughter nuclei Uranium which will get the atomic number 92 and atomic mass of 235.

²³⁹₉₄Pu → ⁴₂He + ²³⁵₉₂U

Hence the element X is uranium (²³⁵₉₂U).
