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.

What is the atomic number of bohrium?
Bohrium, previously known as unnilseptium (Uns), with the chemical symbol Bh, has the atomic number 107.
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.
What does the chemical symbol 'Es' stand for?
The chemical symbol 'Es' stands for the element Einsteinium. It is a synthetic element that does not occur naturally in the environment and is produced in nuclear reactors through the bombardment of lighter elements.
What characteristics do all the synthetically prepared elements have in common?
All synthetically prepared elements are unstable and typically have short half-lives due to their unnatural or heavy atomic structures. They are usually produced in particle accelerators or nuclear reactors through nuclear reactions involving the bombardment of target nuclei with high-energy particles. These elements are not typically found in nature and require specialized techniques for their creation and study.
What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?
Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.
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.

How was Iodine-131 discovered?
Iodine-131 was discovered in 1938 by Glenn Seaborg and John Livingood through their research on neutron bombardment of natural iodine. They found that radioactive iodine was produced in the reaction, leading to the discovery of Iodine-131.
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.
What is californium's natural state of matter?
Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
