No, uranium-235 (U-235) is not stable. It is a radioactive isotope that undergoes radioactive decay, emitting particles and energy in the process.

How many neutrons are in Element 92?

Element number 92 is Uranium and there are two main isotopes - U235 and U238. In U235 there are 92 protons so there are 235 - 92 = 143 neutrons. In U238 there are thus 146 neutrons


How much 1kg of u235 can produce electricity in areactor?

It is estimated that 1 kilogram of U235 can produce approximately 24,000 MWh of electricity in a nuclear reactor. This amount can vary depending on the efficiency of the reactor and the specific conditions of operation.


What is the difference between using uranium for power or bombs?

In power reactors the fuel is uranium enriched slightly to about 4 percent U235 (the fissile isotope), whereas for a bomb you need the U235 as high as possible, in the high 90's I believe.


Is uranium nuclear fuel?

Yes, U233, U235, and U238 are all used as nuclear fuels.


What isotopes are in this process?

which process & which isotope u mention 1. nuclear reaction U235 & Pu239


The concentration of U235 in the atomic bomb?

The references I have state Oralloy is 93.5% U235. Oralloy (Oak Ridge Alloy) was used in US Uranium atomic bombs as the fissile material. However they also say that any enrichment 20% U235 or higher is fissile and could be used to make a bomb, it would require a higher critical mass to work though. One source I have states that early Soviet Uranium atomic bombs used ~97% U235, but the US felt this level of enrichment to be unnecessary and excessively expensive.


What are in nuclear bombs?

Enough of either U235 or PU239 to form a critical mass and hence a large explosion


Is uranium 235 a state in which matter flows as it takes the shape of a container?

The question is asking if U235 a liquid or a gas. It is a solid and does not flow.


Why is large mass of uranium-235 needed for a chain reaction?

Each time a U235 atom decays, it emits 2-3 neutrons. The likelihood that one of these neutrons is captured by another U235 atom INCREASES with more mass. The SHAPE of this mass will also play a role, imagine a thin wire of U235, compared to a sphere, with regards to how likely a chain reaction will occur. Neutron reflection can also help redirect an errant neutron back into the mass so it can react instead. Compression (increase of density) plays a role as well.


How are isotopes of the same element named?

The same name with a different atomic mass number. As an example U235 and U238 are two isotopes of Uranium


What is the best way at producing electricity?

in order,- Fission, (u235) Fusion, (d-t) Fusion (sun) Antimatter, Zero point energy.


Which part of an atom participates in the reaction shown below U235 plus n and acirc and 134 and 146 Xe134 plus Sr100 plus 2n?

The nucleus of the Uranium-235 (U235) atom participates in the nuclear reaction by absorbing a neutron (n) to form an unstable compound nucleus, which then undergoes fission into Xe134, Sr100, and two neutrons (2n).
