There isn't a specific equation that represents the synthesis of a transuranium element as it can vary depending on the specific element being synthesized. Transuranium elements are typically synthesized by bombarding a heavy nucleus with a high-speed projectile, such as in the process of nuclear fusion or neutron capture reactions. For example, the synthesis of the transuranium element plutonium-239 can be represented as:
U-238 + n -> Pu-239 + 2n
