What are biological uses for plutonium?
Plutonium hasn't any biological use.
What is the difference between plutonium weapon and uranium weapons?
The obvious difference is a plutonium weapon uses plutonium as its fuel while a uranium weapon uses uranium as its fuel, however there are also composite weapons that use both as their fuel. Plutonium, being produced in reactors has some degree of plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 as undesired contaminates that can cause a fizzle. So weapons made with plutonium must be assembled much more rapidly than uranium weapons. So uranium weapons can use either gun or implosion rapid assembly systems, but weapons using any amount of plutonium must use implosion rapid assembly systems.
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.
What are some common compounds you can find plutonium in?
Some plutonium compounds: Hydrides: Plutonium dihydride: PuH2, Plutonium trihydride: PuH3 Fluorides: Plutonium trifluoride: PuF3, Plutonium hexafluoride: PuF6, Plutonium tetrafluoride: PuF4 Chlorides: Plutonium trichloride: PuCl3 Bromides: Plutonium tribromide: PuBr3 Iodides: Plutonium triiodide: PuI3 Oxides: Plutonium oxide: PuO, Plutonium dioxide: PuO2, Diplutonium trioxide: Pu2O3 Sulfides: Plutonium sulphide: PuS, Plutonium disulphide: PuS2, Diplutonium trisulphide: Pu2S3 Selenide: Plutonium selenide: PuSe Nitrides: Plutonium nitride: PuN Carbides: PuC, Pu2C3 Borides: PuB2, Pu2B4, PuB6, PuB100 Nitrate : Plutonium (III) nitrate: Pu(NO3)3, Plutonium (IV) nitrate: Pu(NO3)4 And many others.
What are some cons about plutonium?
Plutonium is: - very radioactive - toxic - able to reach criticality
What are some valence number and examples of what plutonium can bond with?
Plutonium has valences from 2 to 7.
What are some ways plutonium is used in everyday life?
Plutonium is not used in everyday life.
What are some example of plutonium?
Plutonium is a radioactive element commonly used in nuclear weapons and reactors. It is also found in certain types of spacecraft power systems and in some medical devices for cancer treatment. Additionally, plutonium-238 has been used in space missions to power spacecraft and rovers.
What is Plutonium 241 and its uses?
Plutonium-241 is an isotope of plutonium with a half-life of about 14 years. It is used primarily in batteries for spacecraft and military applications due to its heat-producing decay process. It is also a source of neutrons for various scientific research purposes.
