Uranium has 3 natural isotopes (234, 235, 238) and 26 artificial isotopes.
All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.

Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?

Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are isotopes of uranium, meaning they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Uranium-235 is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, while uranium-238 is more abundant in nature but less useful for these purposes.


Is the isotope of uranium you found in a stable r radioactive?

All the isotopes of uranium are unstable.Natural isotopes of uranium are: 234, 235 and 238.


What isotope uranium is radioactive?

Yes.......most likely. I can't think of anything to do with Uranium, that isn't radioactive! -------- Uranium natural isotopes are not so radioactive compared with other isotopes; but all the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.


What three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission?

Three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission are uranium-235, plutonium-239, and uranium-233. When these isotopes absorb a neutron, they become unstable and split into smaller fragments, releasing energy in the process.


Are uranium 235 and uranium 238 said to be radioactive molecules since they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?

No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.


How big is an isotope of uranium?

There are 3 major isotopes of uranium: Uranium-238, 235, and 234. These numbers are the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. Since Uranium only has 92 protons, this makes these isotopes VERY neutron-heavy!Uranium-238 is the most common in nature, followed by 235, then 234. All these are radioactive isotopes. Because there are so many neutrons in Uranium, it makes it fissile -- easy to split.


What are the fertile isotopes of Uranium?

There are many isotopes for uranium, the most abundant of them in nature are:Uranium- 234, having 142 neutron and 92 protonUranium- 235, having 143 neutron and 92 protonUranium- 238, having 146 neutron and 92 protonThe abundance of these three isotopes in natural uranium is:Uranium-234: 0.006 %Uranium-235: 0.720 %Uranium-238: 99.274 %


How many electrons are their in uranium - 237?
