Is neptunium corrosive?
Neptunium is dangerous due to it's radioactivity- it is similar to Uranium or Plutonium. It is likely to be chemically poisonous, but the radiation effects outweigh the chemical hazards. Neptunium is rarely found in a pure state, and results from decay of other radioactive materials, such as Plutonium and Americium.
Where does the plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
What is the symbols for mercury uranium plutonium and neptunium?
Chemical symbols of: Mercury - Hg Uranium - U Plutonium - Pu Neptunium - Np
Where does the element plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
Are neptunium and plutunium related to uranium?
Neptunium and plutonium are derived from uranium by nuclear reactions.
What is an element that is named after a planet?
Uranium,Plutonium,Neptunium
What is the radioactive element which is a by product of a nuclear reactor?
neptunium and plutonium
What is an element that sounds like a planet?
Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium
Where neptune and plutonium the first transuranium elements discovered?
Neptunium and plutonium were discovered in United States in 1940.
Is neptunium explosive?
Yes. All the isotopes of plutonium are radioactive. It is dangerous stuff.
