No, plutonium is not generally thought of as a gas. It is a metal and is solid at anything near room temperature.
Plutonium is a solid metal.
The noble gas configuration of plutonium is [Rn] 5f6 7s2. This configuration represents the electron arrangement of plutonium in a stable state, similar to a noble gas element, in this case radon.
Yes, solid plutonium can be transformed in a liquid or a gas.
Plutonium reacts with water to form plutonium hydride and plutonium dioxide. The reaction is slow, and can generate hydrogen gas as a byproduct, which can be combustible and explosive. Due to plutonium's radioactivity and potential hazards, it is extremely dangerous to handle and should be kept away from water.
The element, plutonium
Plutonium is a solid at room temperature. It has a high melting point of 639.4°C and boiling point of 3,228°C, which means it remains solid under normal conditions.
Plutonium can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation to form plutonium oxides like PuO2 and Pu2O3. It can also react with water to form plutonium hydroxide (Pu(OH)4) and hydrogen gas. In addition, plutonium can undergo chemical reactions with acids, halogens, and other compounds to form different plutonium compounds.
Plutonium is artificially made, so yes it is a solid and yes it a gas. It can be only be a liquid it has reached its melting but its melting point is 639.5 Degrees Celsius. (I'm from Canada so you're going to want to convert that into Fahrenheit . So it can be all THREE states in short from.
Coal, gas or plutonium, depending on type of engine installed on the ship.
Applications of plutonium: * nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors; can contribute to use uranium-238 which is fertile.Disadvantages of plutonium:- plutonium is radioactive - plutonium is toxic - plutonium is flammable - in some conditions (of mass and geometric form) plutonium can reach the critical mass
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
Examples: PuO2, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide, plutonium chloride, plutonium fluoride etc.
