What kind of scientists produce elements heavier than uranium?

Physicists and chemists


What makes uranium lighter than other elements?

Uranium is not lighter but heavier than many of the other elements; the density of uranium is 19,05 g/cm3 and the atomic weight is 238,02891.


Why did scientists think that Uranium was the last element?

Uranium is only the last natural element. We know many artificial transuranic elements.


How does uranium come from the sun?

Uranium is not directly produced by the sun. Uranium is formed through the process of supernova nucleosynthesis during the explosion of massive stars. Elements like uranium are created during supernova explosions, where the intense heat and pressure fusion lighter elements into heavier ones.


What elements are heavier than hydrogen?

All of them. There are no elements lighter than hydrogen. It has only two atomic particles, and you cannot have an element with less.


Scientists make elements heavier than uranium in what machines?

nuclear reactors produce large quantities efficiently but with undesired isotope impurities due to the high neutron fluxparticle accelerators produce limited quantities of pure isotopesnuclear explosives (especially fusion bombs) are even more efficient than reactors due to the much higher neutron energy spectrum, but the product are difficult to collectThe furthest transuranic elements produced have all been produced in quantities too small to test chemically by use of special particle accelerators firing massive ions. They all had halflives so short as to barely allow them to be verified by measuring their radiation as they decayed.


All of the elements heavier than oxygen are created by fusion reactions in?

stars through processes such as supernova explosions. These reactions involve the fusion of lighter elements to create heavier ones, including elements like gold, uranium, and plutonium.


How are elements heavier than iron formed in the universe?

Elements heavier than iron are formed through processes like supernova explosions, where the intense heat and pressure create conditions for nuclear fusion to occur, leading to the synthesis of heavier elements. This process is known as nucleosynthesis and is crucial for the creation of elements like gold, uranium, and beyond in the universe.


What element is heavier than Bismuth?

There are as many as 17 elements which are denser (and therefore heavier) than gold. Most of them are transuranic elements, almost all of which have a half-life measured in fractions of a second.The densest of the non-transuranic elements is osmium, which is about 17% heavier than gold. It is closely followed by iridium, then platinum and rhenium.


What are the heavier elements in this universe formed by?

Heavier elements in the universe are primarily formed through nuclear fusion processes within the cores of stars. Elements beyond iron are typically formed in supernova explosions, where the extreme conditions allow for the synthesis of elements such as gold, silver, and uranium.


Is lead heavier than uranium?

Yes, uranium is more dense (heavier) than lead.


What atoms are heavier than iron?

Atoms heavier than iron are typically produced through processes like nuclear fusion in supernovae or in laboratories. Some examples include atoms like uranium, plutonium, and lead, which have more protons and neutrons in their nuclei compared to iron.
