Uranium
URANIUM (:
Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring actinide.
Uranium
Uranium because uranium has the highest atomic number, 92, of the natural, actinide elements. Elements higher than 92 are man-made elements. Check the periodic tables to see for yourself!~
The lightest naturally occurring actinide on Earth is thorium, which has the atomic number 90. It is a naturally occurring radioactive element found in small amounts in soil and rocks.
as a consequence of actinide contraction the radius of the metal atom decreases as the 5f electrons of the actinides are poorly shielded. (Due to this poor shielding it is more strongly attracted by the nuclear charge resulting in decreased radius)
Yes, most actinides are synthetic elements, meaning they are not naturally found on Earth and need to be created in a laboratory through nuclear reactions. The only exception is uranium, which is the only actinide that occurs naturally in significant quantities on Earth.
An example of a metallic element that occurs as a liquid at room temperature is mercury. An example of a nonmetallic element that occurs as a liquid at room temperature is bromine.

An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.
In the atmosphere.
Copper occurs naturally as both an element and in various compounds. In its pure form, copper is an element on the periodic table with the symbol Cu. However, it can also be found in nature as compounds such as copper oxide and copper sulfide.
