Uranium is not so plentiful; one day the reserves will be exhausted.
Applications of uranium:
- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors
- explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glasses and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast
- and other minor applications

What are 2 molecules that contain uranium?
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What are the masses of uranium and in uranium oxide?
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
Is uranium magnetic?
Uranium is a paramagnetic element.
What happens in a uranium factory?
Uranium ores are transformed in uranismoctoxide, uranium metal, uranium dioxide, ammonium diuranate, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride etc. Another step is to prepare uranium alloys, uranium dioxide sintered pellets, enriched uranium - in other plants.
Why would people want to live in Uranium City?
Most likely it was the availability of mining jobs.

What are common compounds in which uranium is found?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What are common combinatons with uranium with other elements?
uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranyl acetate, uranium tetrachloride, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium tetraiodide, uranium sulfide, ammonium diuranate, etc.
Is uranium in a compound?
Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What are uraniums common compounds?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What are the masses of uranium and in uranium oxide?
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
Are there different types of uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
Is uranium magnetic?
Uranium is a paramagnetic element.
What happens in a uranium factory?
Uranium ores are transformed in uranismoctoxide, uranium metal, uranium dioxide, ammonium diuranate, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride etc. Another step is to prepare uranium alloys, uranium dioxide sintered pellets, enriched uranium - in other plants.
What is cold uranium?
Cold uranium is unirradiated uranium.
