Uranium is a member of the actinoids family. These chemical elements are:
- they are considered frequently transition metals
- they are radioactive elements
- some are artificial elements
- they have variable valence
Uranium belongs to the actinide family of elements in the periodic table.
For example the radioactivity and instability.
Elements in the same family, or group will contain the same number of valence electrons and have many similar characteristics.
Uranium is now placed in a special group (family) of chemical elements - actinoids.Uranium is considered also a transition metal.
Each family of elements has its own set of characteristics that each of the elements possess.
Uranium has no odor.
