What element is 2 million times more radioactive than Uranium?
radium
What element is 1 million times more radioactive than uranium?
Radium (Ra)
Name the element which is two million times more radioactive than uranium?
Radium (Ra)
What substance is 900 times more radioactive as pure uranium?
Plutonium is approximately 900 times more radioactive than pure uranium. Plutonium is a radioactive element that is found in trace amounts in uranium ores, and it is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its high radioactivity.
What was Marie Curie's achievements?
she and her husband discovered Radium- a substance 100 times more radioactive than uranium
What element is heavier than lead?
It is about 11.36 times heaver that air (at room temperature). Density is measured either in kg/m3 or as a relative density compared with water (water being 1.0). Water: 998kg/m3 (r.d 1.0) Lead 11340kg/m3 (11.36)
Has the amount of uranium in Earth increased over geologic time Has the amount of lead in Earth increased?
The amount of uranium on Earth has remained relatively constant over geologic time, as uranium is a naturally occurring element that is not created or destroyed in significant amounts. On the other hand, the amount of lead on Earth has increased over time due to the radioactive decay of uranium and other elements that eventually form lead isotopes as byproducts.
How much energy does uranium produce in a certain amount of time?
The energy produced by natural radioactive disintegration is small an important only at geological times scale.
Differences between stable and unstable elements in the periodic table?
A stable element is an element that does not provide radioactivity. 1 kg of Gold will be 1 kg of gold even after 100.000 years. It is a stable element. An unstable element (like Uranium or Plutoneum) gives off radioactivity and actually form new elements like lead. 1 kg of pure Uranium will be 500 grams of Uranium and 500 grams of lead after 100.000 years. Times given and breakdown products are for illustrative purposes only. Degradation of unstable materials is not my science but I know the basics of it :-) Regards.
What type of rock is uranium?
Uranium is an element, rather like Iron or Copper. It is the heaviest naturally found element, with a density (per atom) 4.25 times higher than Iron. It is not 'produced' from anything else, merely split into two components, Uranium 235 (which can be used for Fission) and Uranium 238, which cannot, and is mostly discarded. This used to happen using centrifuges (and still does in countries such as Iran), spinning the element so that the heavier Uranium 238 filters to the outside edge, and the lighter U-235 filters to the middle, where it can be skimmed off. Now, (especially in America) powerful magnetic fields are often used used.
Can radium bombs be very destructive as it is million times radioactive than uranium?
The reason why an atomic bomb produces such a large explosion is that certain radioactive isotopes, such as U-235 or plutonium, can be made to undergo a chain reaction in which all the atoms will decay in a very short period of time (a small fraction of a second) releasing all the energy at once. Radium does not do that. However, if you had a substantial quantity of radium you could certainly use it to create radioactive contamination which could induce cancer in many people. That is known as a "dirty bomb".
What is the heaviest naturally occurring element?
I have just had to research this question for materials science homework.The answer that i have come up with is -Hydrogen is the lightest stable element with only one proton.Uranium is the heaviest with 92 protons. But scientist have discovered an eliment called eliment 118 that fits just below radon on the periodic table this eliment was supposed to have been discovered in 1999 but was said to have been made up. So i will go with uranium as being the heaviest known stable element for now.
