Complete the following nuclear reactions, which have been used to synthesize elements.
This is one of the problems
^238_92U + ^12_6C --> __?__ + 6 ^1_0n
What I am confused about is the 6 in front of the neutron. Do I multiply it by the 1 and the 0?
So then,
The answer would be
^244_98Cf ?
because 238 + 12 = 250 - 6 = 244 ?

The 6 means there are six neutrons. That six subrtracts from 238, so that
238+12=? + 6 so the atomic wt of ? is 244.
