What else can I help you with?
Is plutonium chemically inert?
Plutonium is not an inert chemical element, plutonium is very active.
What is meant by the term 'radio active'?
The term radio active came from the dangerous elements like Plutonium, Uranium, Radium and Caesium. These elements produces extreme heat and radioactivity. When exposed to these elements, one may get cancer problems. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered Radium but due to constant exposure to the element, they died of cancer. Plutonium and Uranium are used to produce atomic energy.
What is radio active material?
Radio active material that occurs naturally where human activities exposure to ionizing radiation are naturally-occurring radioactive materials, or NORM. They include uranium and thorium. Radioactive materials are mainly used in engineering and science departments. This type of material emits gamma rays or particles that as radioactive energy.
What elements give off particles?
the unstable elements in periodic table is Radium because it always leave the radio active waves so it lost its mass slowly slowly all radio active elements are unstable. Any thing more By Varun
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
What element is used in Americium?
Americium is a synthetic element that typically uses plutonium as the starting material for its production. It is commonly used in smoke detectors and in some medical devices for imaging purposes due to its radioactivity.
What nuclear material was used in the bomb that was dropped in nagasaki?
Plutonium
Can you eat plutonium?
NO!!!! For two reasons;- It is a dangerously radio-active metal, and you will have radiation poisoning. . It is a heavy metal, and metals heavier than iron will give you heavy metal poisoning.
What does radio active waste mean?
any undesired radioactive material. commonly products of nuclear reactors, but can come from other sources.
How is radioactivity used in fertiliser?
Phosphorous 32 is an radio active one. As this is along with the fertilizer then this would be absorbed by the plants. By tracing the presence of these radio active material in the stem we can know about the amount of fertilizer absorbed by the plant and the season when such absorption is more effective could be understood.
What is the definition of radio active metals or elements?
Any material that spontaneously undergoes changes in elemental composition within an observable time is radioactive.
Is neptunium explosive?
Neptunium itself is not inherently explosive. However, certain compounds of neptunium, such as neptunium hydrides or nitrates, can be reactive and pose explosion risks under specific conditions. Proper handling and storage are necessary to avoid any potential hazards.
