Alpha disintegration: (4,470 ± 0,020) 109 years Spontaneous fission: (8,20 ± 0,10) 1015 years
The half life of uranium 238 is 4,468.109 years.
Uranium 238 is aan alpha particles emitter: halflife 4,468.109 years, energy 4,270 MeV.
Uranium 238 is transformed in thorium 234 by alpha decay.
Uranium is a member of the actinoids family elements. Uranium-238 is a natural isotope of uranium.
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
Enriched uranium is still usually mainly 238U, but it has a higher percentage of 235U than the natural abundance. Depleted uranium is exactly the opposite: it's got a LOWER than normal amount of 235U.
Uranium 238 is aan alpha particles emitter: halflife 4,468.109 years, energy 4,270 MeV.
The half life of 238U is 4,468.109 years; this is a very long halflife !
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are the isotopes of the same element - uranium, a natural radioactive chemical element; the atomic number is the same - 92. Also the electronic structure, the number of protons, etc. Differences: atomic mass, number of neutrons, U-235 is fissile with thermal neutrons but U-238 is only fertile, halflife, type of disintegration types and energy of emitted radiations, etc.
The half-life of uranium-239 is 23.45 minutes.
Yes, by spontaneous fission, but the nymber of neutrons is very small because the halflife of the spontenuoes fission is: for Uranium 235: (1,0 ± 0,3).1019 years for Uranium 238: (8,20 ± 0,10).1015years
