As neutrons do not carry a electric charge they do not interact with the electron cloud that surrounds atoms so the inclination to bounce isn't there as much as with other atoms or charged particles. Instead a neutron would preferably
- travel straight through the mostly empty space of a metal.
- collide with an atomic nucleolus.
If it collides with a nucleolus it can either
- bounce off
- get absorbed
- get absorbed and start a fission reaction.

How do you get bounce attack for Shadow the Hedgehog?
Shadow does not get bounce attack.
Why do bullets bounce off Superman?
Bullets bounce off of superman because superman's molecular structure is millions of times denser than a normal human-beings. In general terms, he is invulnerable to physical attack (while not in the presence of kryptonite or exhausted) and nothing can hurt him. See "Who is Superman?" in Wiki Answers for a complete description of Superman.

What is produced when uranium nuclei is bombarded with neutrons?
This depends on a lot of things. When a neutron collides with an uranium atom, it might bounce off, cause the atom to decay, or be captured into the atom. But which it does depends on the isotope of the atom, the temperature of the atom, and the velocity of the neutron. My understanding is that it can cause any isotope of uranium to decay, and certainly it can bounce off any, but it can only be captured by U233, U234, or U235; the other isotopes of uranium, U236, and U238, will not capture neutrons. The interactions of various isotopes of different temperatures with neutrons of different velocities is complicated, and no simple rule about it can be stated.
