The chemical formula of uranium hexafluoride is UF6.
Hydrogen gas has a very low density; 0,08988 g/L; uranium hexafluoride (as gas) is very dense, between gases.
All nuclei whether it is lighter hydrogen or heavier such as U-238 would have the same density. Its value is 1.816 x 1017 kg/m3 . (That's 181,600,000,000,000 times as dense as water, and 9,508,000,000 times as dense as gold.)
1 cubic inch = 16,387 06 cm3 The density of uranium is ca. 19,05 g/cm3 312,173 493 grams is the mass of a cubic inch of pure U metal at room temperature.
Natural uranium consists of mainly U238 with about 0.7 percent U235, which is the fissile one, so enrichment is to raise the proportion of U235, which can be done by diffusion or by centrifuging, because of the slight difference in density, using uranium hexafluoride which is gaseous.
Uranium hexafluoride density at room temperature (solid state): 5,09 g/cm3.
