Applications of uranium:
- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors
- explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glasses and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast
- and other minor applications
Disadvantages: uranium is toxic and radioactive.
Before uranium is protactinium. After uranium is neptunium.
It comes from the breakdown of uranium.
Any animal !
Neptunium (Np)
Nuclear energy
In one mole of Uranium there are 238.02891g of Uranium. This number comes from its atomic weight on the Periodic Table. The mass of one mole of an element is its atomic weight in grams.
Probably 10 %.
Uranium-235 is the element with a mass number of 235. It is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Radon comes from the soil. It occurs naturally from decaying uranium.
Radon.
Though both enriched uranium and plutonium can be used, the most common in enriched Uranium-235. The waste that comes from the reaction is a mix of elements (uranium, plutonium, etc) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power
Yes it comes from the soil. It occurs naturally from decaying uranium.
