What does deutron bombardment of uranium isotope mean?
A nuclear reaction between an uranium isotope (e.g. uranium 238) and deuterons.
What makes a chemical reaction with plutonium?
Uranium
What Would happen if you had uranium in a enclosed container and exposed it to a large amount of electricity?
Being a metal Uranium would conduct electricity.
What happens if an atom of uranium loses a proton?
Uranium minus a proton (hydrogen atom) is protactinium.? That is, if you could get it to do that - this is an unusual reaction.
How many neutrons are there when uranium 235 is bombarded with a neutron?
Uranium 235 has 143 neutrons; absorbing a neutron (neutron,gamma reaction) the isotope uranium-236 is obtained.
What happens when uranium is exposed to acid?
For example, metallic uranium is soluble in nitric acid.
Is uranium found in coal deposits and is it combustible?
1. Yes, all coals contain traces of uranium. 2. Uranium is not combustible; the "burning" of uranium in nuclear reactors is a nuclear reaction, not a reaction with oxygen.
What is the reaction done within an uranium bomb?
A nuclear fission reaction.
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when struck by?
The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.
What does deutron bombardment of uranium isotope mean?
A nuclear reaction between an uranium isotope (e.g. uranium 238) and deuterons.
Does uranium react to coke?
Any reaction.
What makes a chemical reaction with plutonium?
Uranium
What Would happen if you had uranium in a enclosed container and exposed it to a large amount of electricity?
Being a metal Uranium would conduct electricity.
Name the element when uranium captures a fast neutron?
The element is determined by the number of protons. When uranium captures a fast neutron it is still uranium but has an increased atomic mass. Fast neutron capture may encourage a further reaction but it depends on which uranium isotope you start with as to the increase in probability some further reaction will occur and which reaction that might be.
What is a reaction that occurs when uranium atoms are split?
Nuclear fission
Will uranium and astatine combine chemically?
It is possible but this reaction was not studied.
Why does uranium metal not explode in a nuclear reaction?
Uranium metal (enriched in uranium-235 up to 99 %) is a nuclear explosive, if the critical mass is reached. Also criticality accidents are possible in uranium plants or uranium storage areas.
