- Plutonium-238: from the beta double-decay of U-238
- Plutonium-239: from a nuclear reaction of U-238 with neutrons (neutrons from a spontaneous fission)
- Plutonium-240: a radioactive decay product of Pu-244
- Plutonium-244: it is considered a primordial isotope for the Earth
All these isotopes (of natural origin) exist in uranium ores in infinitesimal but today detectable concentrations.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if Pluto was made of plutonium?
Plutonium doesn't occur in nature as far as we know, but if Pluto were made of solid Plutonium, nothing would happen. Pluto is not near anything that might be affected.
Does all radioactive substances are manmade or artificial?
Radioactive elements both occur in nature (Uranium is the prime example) and are made through the works of man (Plutonium is man-made).
Is plutonium a natural or synthetic element?
Plutonium is an artificial element; natural plutonium exist only in extremely traces.
Were is plutonium found?
An insignificant amount of plutonium exists in nature. Mostly, plutonium is obtained from nuclear reactions caused by humans.
What element is radioactive and synthetic plutonium xenon barium or cesium?
Plutonium and xenon are radioactive elements. Plutonium is a synthetic element, while xenon occurs naturally but can also be produced synthetically. Barium and cesium are not synthetic elements but can have radioactive isotopes.
Is californum find in nature?
no the reason why is what i told you if plutonium exist 1 the periodic table and 2it is man made
Where do you find plutonium in nature?
its an element, so yes, any thing that's not manufactured by man is natural, therefore found in nature. It is not, however, found unless forced by man; so for most practical purposes it is not found in nature.
Where is plutonium found in nature?
Natural isotopes of plutonium exist only in traces in uranium ores.
What is plotonium?
You mean plutonium.... Plutonium is a radioactive substance which is a compound of Radon through fission energy made by Marie Curie.
How are the materials in plutonium mined?
Plutonium is not typically mined; rather, it is produced artificially in nuclear reactors through the irradiation of uranium-238. The uranium undergoes a series of neutron capture reactions to become plutonium-239, which can then be chemically separated.
Where us plutonium obtained from?
Plutonium is not obtained it must be made.
Is plutonium 239 man made or natural?
Plutonium-239 is not found in nature in significant quantities and is primarily produced in nuclear reactors as a byproduct of nuclear fission reactions. It is a man-made element that is typically created for use in nuclear weapons and reactor fuel.
