This gas is radon (Rn).
No, lead cannot be converted back into uranium. Once uranium has decayed into lead, it cannot be reversed.
No, uranium is a solid metal.
Uranium hexafluoride is made from uranium dioxide or uranium tetrafluoride by adding fluorine gas. The process involves reacting uranium compound with an excess of fluorine gas under controlled conditions to produce uranium hexafluoride.
Yes, the density of hydrogen gas is lower than that of uranium hexafluoride gas. Hydrogen gas is one of the lightest elements, while uranium hexafluoride gas is much denser due to the heavy uranium atom.

The noble gas configuration for uranium is [Rn] 5f3 6d1 7s2. This means that the electron configuration for uranium can be shortened to make it like a noble gas (radon) by including the noble gas before uranium in square brackets.
Uranium is a metal, non-volatile; neon is a gas.
Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,110 years.
Radon, an odorless radioactive gas.
To determine the initial number of uranium-238 atoms, we can use the decay relationship between uranium-238 and lead-206. The half-life of uranium-238 is about 4.5 billion years, meaning that after one half-life, half of the uranium-238 would have decayed into lead-206. Since the meteorite now has 78 atoms of lead-206, it suggests that there were originally 78 atoms of lead-206 plus 78 atoms of uranium-238 that decayed to lead-206, totaling 156 atoms of uranium-238 initially.
After 4.47 billion years, roughly half of the original atoms of uranium-238 would have decayed to lead-206 through alpha decay. This means there would be about 30 atoms of uranium-238 remaining.
