What will happen if fast-moving neutron strikes with uranium?
When U-238 absorbs a fast neutron it forms plutonium-239
Why thorium is not used as fuel in nuclear reactors?
Thorium is and can be used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. It just happens to be not fissile, so it needs a neutron flux to create Uranium-233, which is fissile. There are pros and cons of using Thorium. For more information, please see the Related Link below.
What is the common compound of thorium?
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
Which metals are used in nuclear reactors except thorium?
for example:uranium as nuclear fuelzirconium for nuclear fuel claddingstainless steel for different structurescadmium for neutron capture
What happen to a molecule when it absorbs uv light?
When it absorbs UV light, it decomposes. It also replenishes it.
When the nucleus boron-10 is bombarded with neutrons it absorbs a neutron and then emits an alpha particle How many protons does the resulting nucleus have?
If boron-10 absorbs a neutron, it becomes boron-11. Boron-11 is stable and does not emit any particles. Please restate the question.
When a nucleus absorbs a neutron and then breaks apart there are many products of the reaction Which of these is not a product of a nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium-235

Common commpouds of thorium?
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
What chemicals are in thorium fluoride?
Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4
What would happen if water absorbs a large amount of energy?
If water absorbs a large amount of energy it boils.
What is thorium smell like?
Thorium don't smell.
