You don't give the list of "the following elements". Suggest you look up Wikipedia entry for "Fission Products"

What are the elements produced by a fission reaction?
1. Fission products (lighter elements) 2. Energy from the loss of mass, appears initially as kinetic energy which is absorbed in the fuel bulk and transformed to thermal energy (heat) 3. Free neutrons-average 2.5 per fission 4. Gamma radiation
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
What is the role of control rods in a fission reaction?
what is the role of control rods in a fission reaction
What does radioactivity has to do with fission weapons?
Fission weapons use either uranium or plutonium. Both of these elements are radioactive, though the radiation is not what precipitates the nuclear reaction. So to answer the question, very little.
What is true about the fission of uranium235?
The reaction produces more neutrons than were needed to start it.
When was fission reaction invented?
The first time a fission chain reaction was produced was in 1942
In a nuclear fission reaction which component both triggers the reaction and is produced by the reaction?
neutrons
What characteristics of a fission reaction makes a chain reaction possible?
The excess of neutrons produced.
What controls the fission reaction within a reactor core?
High neutron capture elements (e.g Boron, Cadmium ) are used to control fission reaction.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239

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'
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
What is nuclear fission energy?
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
Comparison of fission fusion and transmutation?
Fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei, mostly Uranium235 but also Plutonium 239, which is made to happen in nuclear fission reactors, and releases energy. Transmutation of elements occurs in this process as when the heavy nucleus splits, two lighter nuclei of other elements such as caesium, strontium, iodine, are formed, these are the fission products. Fusion is the joining together of two nuclei, the ones being experimented with being deuterium and tritium, both isotopes of hydrogen. These transmute to helium during fusion.
How do the masses of the atoms produced as a result of afusion reaction differ from the masses of the atoms that result from a nuclear fission reaction?
The products are very different.
