Can you bend plutonium?
At room temperature pure plutonium is brittle.
What are some example of plutonium?
Examples are: plutonium metal, isotope Pu-238, plutonium dioxide, plutonium sulfide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide etc.
What are the chemical properties of plutonium?
Plutonium chemical properties:- plutonium is a reactive metal: the Pauling electronegativity is 1,28- plutonium is flammable- plutonium has six allotropes- plutonium in compounds has valences from 2 to 7- plutonium is very toxic
What does compounds does plutonium make?
Some plutonium compounds: Hydrides: Plutonium dihydride: PuH2, Plutonium trihydride: PuH3 Fluorides: Plutonium trifluoride: PuF3, Plutonium hexafluoride: PuF6, Plutonium tetrafluoride: PuF4 Chlorides: Plutonium trichloride: PuCl3 Bromides: Plutonium tribromide: PuBr3 Iodides: Plutonium triiodide: PuI3 Oxides: Plutonium oxide: PuO, Plutonium dioxide: PuO2, Diplutonium trioxide: Pu2O3 Sulfides: Plutonium sulphide: PuS, Plutonium disulphide: PuS2, Diplutonium trisulphide: Pu2S3 Selenide: Plutonium selenide: PuSe Nitrides: Plutonium nitride: PuN Carbides: PuC, Pu2C3 Borides: PuB2,Pu2B4, PuB6, PuB100 Nitrate : Plutonium (III) nitrate: Pu(NO3)3, Plutonium (IV) nitrate: Pu(NO3)4 And many others.
What is weapons grade plutonium?
Weapons grade plutonium has min. 93 % plutonium-239.
Can you bend plutonium?
At room temperature pure plutonium is brittle.
What is another word for crumbly?
soft, rotten, powdery, brittle, oxidized, fragile, deteriorating, decayed, breakable,
Is gold powdery or brittle?
It depends on how much foreign metals it may have,pure gold is soft and malable like lead
What metal is plutonium alloyed with and how much to stabilize it in its non-brittle ductile phase?
Plutonium for use in nuclear weapons is alloyed with gallium. Delta-phase plutonium is alloyed at 3-3.5 molar percent, or by weight, 0.8 - 1%. Alloying plutonium with gallium increases its thermodynamic stability throughout a range of temperatures, and decreases plutonium's susceptibility to corrosion.
Is sulfur a gas liquid or solid at room temp?
It takes the form of a brittle, yellow, powdery solid at room temperature.
How do you use powdery in a sentence?
The snow was very powdery on Sunday. The cocaine was more powdery than usual.
Powdery ink used in photocopiers or computers?
what is powdery ink
Does fiberglass rust?
Rust is a term reserved fro the oxidation of metals. Glass cannot "rust"/"burn": it an oxide already. However, fibreglass is made out of glass and plastic, the former can crack and the latter may loose its plasticiser (i.e. old plastics items go brittle), so old fibreglass is brittle and powdery.
What are common compounds that contain plutonium?
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
Which powdery solid does a flower have?
the powdery solid a flower have is pollen grains
What are the yellow powdery in the anther?
pollen grains are the yellow powdery in the anther.
What are some example of plutonium?
Examples are: plutonium metal, isotope Pu-238, plutonium dioxide, plutonium sulfide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide etc.
