The reaction is:
Pu-239 + alpha = Cm-242 + n
I suppose that the isotope formed is Am-245.
Plutonium is especially an alpha particles emitter.
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
Mendelevium is a manmade element and does not occur naturally in nature. It is produced by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator.
The elements emit especially alpha particles.

By bombarding alpha particles with Einstsenium, Mendeleevium is produced.
You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.
Yes, plutonium is typically formed as a result of the alpha decay of uranium in nuclear reactors or in nuclear weapons. It can also be produced artificially in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons.
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
1. Plutonium is a reactive metal: the electronegativity of plutonium on Pauling scale is 1,28. 2. Plutonium has valences from 3 to 7.
Mendelevium is a manmade element and does not occur naturally in nature. It is produced by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator.

Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
Glenn T. Seaborg did not make californium himself; it was discovered by a research team at the University of California in 1950. The element was first synthesized by bombarding curium-242 with alpha particles to produce californium-245. Seaborg played a key role in the discovery and identification of californium, as well as in its naming after the state of California.
Californium is a man-made element that does not occur naturally. It was first synthesized in a laboratory in 1950 by bombarding curium with alpha particles. It is a radioactive element with various applications in nuclear reactors and neutron sources.
