The transuranium elements, which refer to elements beyond uranium, are not found in nature and are only produced through bombardment. Californium is a transuranium element prepared by bombarding berkelium-249 with neutrons to produce a californium atom and a beta particle. Provide the complete bombardment reaction:
24997Bk + 10n → ? + ?
