Who discovered the radioisotopes of uranium?
Because uranium has approx. 26 isotopes it is difficult to list here the history of these discoveries.I recommend to read the link below.
What puzzled Marie Curie about uranium?
- They discovered that radiations are emitted from the uranium atom (and not from the molecule containing uranium) and are dependent on the quantity of uranium. - They discovered polonium and radium in uranium minerals.
Does nuclear power have uranium in it?
Either Uranium or Plutonium.
What is the nickname for uranium?
no nickname of uranium, but chemical symbol is U
What else other than uranium 239 is the atomic bomb made of?
Not uranium 239, but uranium 235 and plutonium 239.
What is the history of uranium in the history of science?
Heinrich Klaproth discovered uranium in 1789. It was classified as a radioactive (metal) element and as the 92 element on the periodic table. Its chemical symbol is U. :) happy to help
What is a content area on discovery and detailed history on the element uranium?
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Klaproth as the mineral pitchblende, obtained from Johanngeorgenstadt ad Joachimov. In 1841 Peligot was the first to isolate the pure uranium.
Who discovered the radioisotopes of uranium?

How many Uranium mines in Libya are thought to be 8000 years old?
It was said on the history channel that uranium mines exist in Libya that were used 8000 years ago as uranium mines. Unfortunately, as it is so often the case on the history channel, there was no footnote to recognized academic authority for this proposition. And it was, after all, in one of the Shows about so-called "ancient aliens."
What are 2 molecules that contain uranium?
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
What are common compounds in which uranium is found?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What are common combinatons with uranium with other elements?
uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranyl acetate, uranium tetrachloride, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium tetraiodide, uranium sulfide, ammonium diuranate, etc.
Is uranium in a compound?
Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What are uraniums common compounds?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What are the masses of uranium and in uranium oxide?
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
Are there different types of uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
