What are some properties and some pros and cons for plutonium?
Plutonium is very important for nuclear weapons and for nuclear fuels used in nuclear reactors. But plutonium is also toxic and radioactive. See the link below.
What are some pros of cons of plutonium?
Pros for plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source Cons for plutonium: * very radioactive * very toxic * able to reach criticality
What are plutoniums pros and cons?
Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source Disadvantages of plutonium: - plutonium is radioactive - plutonium is toxic - plutonium is flammable - in some conditions (of mass and geometric form) plutonium can reach the critical mass

What are some properties and some pros and cons of using plutonium?
Plutonium is a radioactive, silvery-gray metal with the atomic number 94. It has a high density and a relatively low melting point, making it useful in nuclear applications. Pros of using plutonium include its ability to generate significant amounts of energy through nuclear fission and its use in advanced nuclear reactors and weapons. However, its cons include long-lived radioactivity, potential environmental hazards, and proliferation risks associated with its use in nuclear weapons.

What are some similarities of copper and plutonium?
Copper and plutonium are metals.
What are common compounds that contain plutonium?
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
What Are Some Health Effects of plutonium?
Plutonium is extremely toxic and radioactive.
Whath happened if you mixed water with plutonium?
Nothing important at room temperature and with bulk plutonium; some formation of plutonium oxide.
