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.
a compound
yes uranium contains a lot more energy than coal and that is one of the reasons that people prefer nuclear power to fossil fuel power but like coal uranium is not! renewable
- Uranium, boron and hydrogen are chemical elements. - A salt is a chemical compound (contain two or more elements).
compound
Can you be more specific? Percent composition is usually the percent of an element in a compound.
A compound.
No, A binary compound contains only 2 elements. BeHCO3, or more accurately Be(HCO3)2 contains 4 elements: Beryllium (Be), Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O). If the formula contains more than two uppercase letters, it is not a binary compound.
