Are Barium-141 and krypton-92 produced by the bombardment of uranium-235 with a neutron?

Yes, because when you begin bombarding radioactive elements with neutrons, each reaction will result in more neutrons, which will then continue to bombard more elements, et cetera, and a chain reaction will occur.
In this equation, the number above the "/" is the Atomic Mass of the isotope, and the number below is the atomic number of the element. The reaction results in Uranium splitting into an isotope of Barium, an isotope of Krypton, and then three more neutrons (a product of the said chain reaction).
235/92 Uranium + 1/0 N ---> 141/56 Barium + 92/36 Krypton + 3(1/0 N)
Another note:
When balancing nuclear equations, all you have to do is make sure the total number or atomic masses on each side of the equation are equal, and that the total number of atomic numbers on each side of the equation are equal.

Is plutonium produced by the fission of uranium?
Plutonium is a completely different chemical element. It has the chemical symbol Pu and the atomic number 94 (meaning there are 94 protons in its nucleus), and all of its isotopes are radioactive. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on Plutonium.
Where in the body is lipase produced?
Lipase is produced in the Small Intestine and Pancreas.Lipase is produced in the pancreas.
Where is angiotensinogen produced?
Angiotensinogen in produced in the liver.
Is ATP produced in ribsomes?
No. ATP is produced mainly in mitochondria, or in the cytoplasm. Proteins are produced by ribosomes.
How many molecules of ATP are produced in the entire breakdown of glycolysis?
four are produced from anaerobic 32 are produced from aerobic and 36 are produced all together
How can mendelevium be produced?
Mendelevium was obtained in 1955 after the bombardment of 253Es with alpha particles in a cyclotron.
Atomic energy is the energy of heat mass or fluorescence?
Atomic energy is produced when atoms of uranium235 or other fissile material split, or undergo fission. It is nothing to do with fluorescence, and I don't understand 'heat mass'
Why are neutrons fired at the uranium nuclei?
Under bombardment with thermal neutrons a nuclear fission is produced with the isotopes 235U and 233U; a formidable energy is released after fission.
Describes how transuranic elements are produced?
Transuranic elements (elements with a greater atomic no.>92) are produced by the bombardment of large nuclei with neutrons in a nuclear reactor and other small particles (ie. beta and alpha particles) in a particle accelerator.

What is a White radioactive metallic element artificially produced by neutron bombardment of plutonium?
After some nuclear reactions, americium and curium; see for more details at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_plutonium.
What are symptoms of shell shock?
Shell shock is the reaction of some soldiers in World war I. It is a reaction to the intensity of the bombardment and fighting that produced a helplessness appearing variously as panic and being scared, or flight, an inability to reason, sleep, walk or talk.
Is plutonium produced by the fission of uranium?

What is calafornuim?
(Symbol Cf)A synthetic element produced in trace quantities by helium isotope bombardment of curium. All isotopes are radioactive, chiefly by emission of alpha particles. Atomic number 98; mass numbers 244 to 254; half-lives varying from 25 minutes to 800 years.
Where was plutonium first produced?
Plutonium was discovered by Glenn T. Seaborg Edwin M. McMillan, Joseph W. Kennedy, and Arthur C. Wahl at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California (United States) after the bombardment of uranium with deuterons. Now plutonuim is obtained in the nuclear reactors. Plutonium is also in traces in uranium minerals.
What element is used to make nuclear weapons?
Uranium-235Uranium-233Plutonium-239DeuteriumTritiumAs tritium is radioactive with a short halflife (12 years), weapons using it age rapidly possibly becoming unreliable. Therefore it is normally produced from Lithium (in the form of Lithium Deuteride) by fission neutron bombardment just before fusion is initiated.
