Balancing the reactions...?

Question

Nuclear scientists have synthesized approximatley 1600 nuclei not know in nature. Most might be discovered with heavy-ion bombardment using high energy particle accelerators. Complete and balance the following reactions, which involve heavy-ion bombardments

a)6/4Li + 56/28Ni======> ?

b) 40/20Ca + 248/96Cm======> ?

c) 88/38Sr + 84/36 Kr=======> 116/46Pd + ?

d)40/20Ca + 238/92U======>70/30Zn + 4 1/0n + 2 ( 4 is separate from 1/0n, it is not 41/0n)

Thank you for the help

Answer 1

a.  It is 6/3 Li, not 6/4.  Using this, get 64/31 Ga.

b. 40/20 Ca + 248/96 Cm -> 288/116 unnamed.

c. 88/38 Sr + 84/36 Kr -> 56/28 Ni + 116/46 Pd.

d. 40/20 Ca + 238/92 U -> 4 neutrons + 70/30 Zn + 204/82 Pb.
