Uranium is a chemical element, not a compound.
Depleted uranium is approx. 60% less radioactive than an equivalent mass of natural uranium.
Plutonium has the same composition as uranium, except for the fact that it contains one more neutron and one more proton. Actually Plutonium-239 has 2 more protons and 2 more neutrons than Uranium-235.
A compound is composed of two or more elements chemically combined.
A compound is a molecule that contains at lest two different elements. A compound is a molecule because it also contains two or more different atoms.
because it contains two or more chemical things on it. like salt is a compound because it contains sodium and chlorine.

Yes, uranium contains more energy than coal. Uranium is a highly concentrated energy source because it undergoes nuclear fission reactions, producing a much larger amount of energy compared to coal, which primarily generates energy through combustion.
- Uranium, boron and hydrogen are chemical elements. - A salt is a chemical compound (contain two or more elements).
A compound.
A Wikipedia article (see link below) gives the concentration of uranium in ore as 0.01 to 0.25 percent, which is a wide range. If we take 0.1 percent as typical, then 1 tonne (1000Kg) of ore would produce 1 Kg of uranium. This is natural uranium, which is normally enriched by about six times to produce suitable enriched uranium for fuel, so you can say that about 6 tonnes of ore would be needed to give 1 Kg of enriched uranium, but there is considerable variation of this from one source of ore to another
CO is a compound, all the others are elements. A compound contains 2 or more elements.
