What kind of rock in which radioactive elements occur naturally?
Pitchblende uranium ore UO2
Why does plutonium not occur in natural ore deposits?
Plutonium occur in deposits of uranium ores but only in ultratraces. In the nature plutonium appear as a result of spontaneous natural fission of uranium isotopes a process with a very low cross section.
What metal can be extracted from bauxite ore?
Bauxite contains aluminum oxide, from which aluminum metal is refined.
Why does plutonium not occur in appreciable amounts you natural ore deposits?
- The production of plutonium isotopes 238 and 239 in uranium ores by natural nuclear processes is very rare. - The primordial isotope Pu-244 (and the decay product Pu-240) disappear during the time.
What are some example of plutonium?
Examples are: plutonium metal, isotope Pu-238, plutonium dioxide, plutonium sulfide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide etc.
How do you find radium?
in ore of pitchblende
What is pitchblende or galena?
Pitchblende is a name for uraninite, a radioactive mineral from which uranium ore is extracted. The composition of pitchblende can include uranium oxide (UO2) and triuranium octoxide (U3O8), along with lead oxide and pockets of helium.Pitchblende is a radioactive, uranium-rich mineral and ore. It has a chemical composition that is largely UO2, but also contains UO3 and oxides of lead, thorium, and rare earth elements. It is known as pitchblende due to its black color and high density. It is also commonly referred to as Uraninite.
What weapon which used the main extraction of pitchblende as fuel?
Pitchblende is uranium ore, so any nuclear weapon which used uranium in some form or other (tamper, core, used with plutonium, secondary casing) would need uranium, which is initially obtained from the mining and refining of pitchblende, for example, Little Boy.
What kind of ore is urananite?
Uraninite, AKA pitchblende, is an ore of uranium.
Which mineral is radium obtained?
pitchblende was the first, but any good uranium ore will do as it is a daughter element of uranium's decay.
What does the element radium occur in?
Radium was first discovered in an ore called pitchblende
Name the ore from which uranium is extracted?
Pitchblende, carnotite, uraninite, phosphates, etc.
Does plutonium have an ore?
Plutonium has no ores; plutonium exist naturally in extremely traces in uranium ores.
An important ore of uranium is called?
An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.
What kind of rock in which radioactive elements occur naturally?
Pitchblende uranium ore UO2
What is the name of ore in radium?
plutonium's pl
What element is radium found in?
Radium is an element itself. It was isolated by Marie Curie from Pitchblende, an ore of Uranium.
