Uranium: chemical element, metal, radioactive, unstable, can release under fission with thermal neutrons an enormous energy.
Petroleum (oil): fossil fuel, source of carbon dioxide and greenhouse effect, reserves are near exhaustion, it is desirable to use petroleum in petrochemistry, not as fuel for heating or automobiles.
What else can I help you with?
What is the differences between petroleum and uranium?
Petroleum is a fossil fuel, containing many organic compounds; burning of petroleum release thermal energy. Uranium is a radioactive metal; fission of uranium release a great quantity of nuclear energy.
Is uranium used in the petroleum industry?
Uranium is not used in the petroleum industry.
What is the same and different between uranium and petroleum?
Uranium is a radioactive metal. Petroleum is a complex mixture of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel. All is different between uranium and petroleum. But uranium nuclear fission and petroleum burning release valuable energy.
How are uranium and petroleum different?
Petroleum and uranium can be used as fuels.
What is the difference between uranium and petroluem?
Uranium ia a natural metal, a radioactive chemical element. Uranium is used as a nuclear fuel. Petroleum is a complex of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel.
Why is uranium a nonrenewable resource but not a fossil fuel?
1. Uranium is "burned" in a nuclear power reactor and slowly consumed. 2. Petroleum and methane are of organic origin; uranium not.
What are coal iron uranium petroleum?
Coal, iron, uranium, and petroleum are natural resources that are essential for various industries. Coal is a fossil fuel used for energy production, iron is a metal used in construction and manufacturing, uranium is used as a fuel in nuclear power plants, and petroleum is a fossil fuel used for transportation and energy production.
What are the natural resourses of italy?

How is uranium 235 and uranium 238 similar?
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are natural, radioactive isotopes of uranium; they have 92 protons and electrons but the number of neutrons is different: - for 235U: 143 - for 238U: 146
